| 4 | |||
| 5 | BusyBox - The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | =head1 SYNTAX | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | BusyBox <function> [arguments...] # or | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | <function> [arguments...] # if symlinked | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single | ||
| 16 | small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities | ||
| 17 | you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip, | ||
| 18 | tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small | ||
| 19 | or embedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than | ||
| 20 | their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide | ||
| 21 | the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind. | ||
| 24 | It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or | ||
| 25 | features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded | ||
| 26 | systems. To create a working system, just add a kernel, a shell (such as ash), | ||
| 27 | and an editor (such as elvis-tiny or ae). | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | =head1 USAGE | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | When you create a link to BusyBox for the function you wish to use, when BusyBox | ||
| 32 | is called using that link it will behave as if the command itself has been invoked. | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | For example, entering | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | ln -s ./BusyBox ls | ||
| 37 | ./ls | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | will cause BusyBox to behave as 'ls' (if the 'ls' command has been compiled | ||
| 40 | into BusyBox). | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | You can also invoke BusyBox by issuing the command as an argument on the | ||
| 43 | command line. For example, entering | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | ./BusyBox ls | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | will also cause BusyBox to behave as 'ls'. | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | =head1 COMMON OPTIONS | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | Most BusyBox commands support the B<-h> option to provide a | ||
| 52 | terse runtime description of their behavior. | ||

| 928 | =item B<init> | ||
| 929 | |||
| 930 | init | ||
| 931 | |||
| 932 | Init is the parent of all processes. | ||
| 933 | |||
| 934 | This version of init is designed to be run only by the kernel. | ||
| 935 | |||
| 936 | BusyBox init doesn't support multiple runlevels. The runlevels field of | ||
| 937 | the /etc/inittab file is completely ignored by BusyBox init. If you want | ||
| 938 | runlevels, use sysvinit. | ||
| 939 | |||
| 940 | BusyBox init works just fine without an inittab. If no inittab is found, | ||
| 941 | it has the following default behavior: | ||
| 942 | |||
| 943 | ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS | ||
| 944 | ::askfirst:/bin/sh | ||
| 945 | ::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot | ||
| 946 | ::shutdown:/sbin/swapoff -a | ||
| 947 | ::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r | ||
| 948 | |||
| 949 | if it detects that /dev/console is _not_ a serial console, it will also run: | ||
| 950 | |||
| 951 | tty2::askfirst:/bin/sh | ||
| 952 | tty3::askfirst:/bin/sh | ||
| 953 | tty4::askfirst:/bin/sh | ||
| 954 | |||
| 955 | If you choose to use an /etc/inittab file, the inittab entry format is as follows: | ||
| 956 | |||
| 957 | <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process> | ||
| 958 | |||
| 959 | <id>: | ||
| 960 | |||
| 961 | WARNING: This field has a non-traditional meaning for BusyBox init! | ||
| 962 | The id field is used by BusyBox init to specify the controlling tty for | ||
| 963 | the specified process to run on. The contents of this field are | ||
| 964 | appended to "/dev/" and used as-is. There is no need for this field to | ||
| 965 | be unique, although if it isn't you may have strange results. If this | ||
| 966 | field is left blank, the controlling tty is set to the console. Also | ||
| 967 | note that if BusyBox detects that a serial console is in use, then only | ||
| 968 | entries whose controlling tty is either the serial console or /dev/null | ||
| 969 | will be run. BusyBox init does nothing with utmp. We don't need no | ||
| 970 | stinkin' utmp. | ||
| 971 | |||
| 972 | <runlevels>: | ||
| 973 | |||
| 974 | The runlevels field is completely ignored. | ||
| 975 | |||
| 976 | <action>: | ||
| 977 | |||
| 978 | Valid actions include: sysinit, respawn, askfirst, wait, | ||
| 979 | once, ctrlaltdel, and shutdown. | ||
| 980 | |||
| 981 | The available actions can be classified into two groups: actions | ||
| 982 | that are run only once, and actions that are re-run when the specified | ||
| 983 | process exits. | ||
| 984 | |||
| 985 | Run only-once actions: | ||
| 986 | |||
| 987 | 'sysinit' is the first item run on boot. init waits until all | ||
| 988 | sysinit actions are completed before continuing. Following the | ||
| 989 | completion of all sysinit actions, all 'wait' actions are run. | ||
| 990 | 'wait' actions, like 'sysinit' actions, cause init to wait until | ||
| 991 | the specified task completes. 'once' actions are asyncronous, | ||
| 992 | therefore, init does not wait for them to complete. 'ctrlaltdel' | ||
| 993 | actions are run when the system detects that someone on the system | ||
| 994 | console has pressed the CTRL-ALT-DEL key combination. Typically one | ||
| 995 | wants to run 'reboot' at this point to cause the system to reboot. | ||
| 996 | Finally the 'shutdown' action specifies the actions to taken when | ||
| 997 | init is told to reboot. Unmounting filesystems and disabling swap | ||
| 998 | is a very good here | ||
| 999 | |||
| 1000 | Run repeatedly actions: | ||
| 1001 | |||
| 1002 | 'respawn' actions are run after the 'once' actions. When a process | ||
| 1003 | started with a 'respawn' action exits, init automatically restarts | ||
| 1004 | it. Unlike sysvinit, BusyBox init does not stop processes from | ||
| 1005 | respawning out of control. The 'askfirst' actions acts just like | ||
| 1006 | respawn, except that before running the specified process it | ||
| 1007 | displays the line "Please press Enter to activate this console." | ||
| 1008 | and then waits for the user to press enter before starting the | ||
| 1009 | specified process. | ||
| 1010 | |||
| 1011 | Unrecognized actions (like initdefault) will cause init to emit an | ||
| 1012 | error message, and then go along with its business. All actions are | ||
| 1013 | run in the reverse order from how they appear in /etc/inittab. | ||
| 1014 | |||
| 1015 | <process>: | ||
| 1016 | |||
| 1017 | Specifies the process to be executed and it's command line. | ||
| 1018 | |||

| 2383 | =head1 LIBC NSS | ||
| 2384 | |||
| 2385 | GNU Libc uses the Name Service Switch (NSS) to configure the behavior of the C | ||
| 2386 | library for the local environment, and to configure how it reads system data, | ||
| 2387 | such as passwords and group information. BusyBox has made it Policy that it | ||
| 2388 | will never use NSS, and will never use and libc calls that make use of NSS. | ||
| 2389 | This allows you to run an embedded system without the need for installing an | ||
| 2390 | /etc/nsswitch.conf file and without and /lib/libnss_* libraries installed. | ||
| 2391 | |||
| 2392 | If you are using a system that is using a remote LDAP server for authentication | ||
| 2393 | via GNU libc NSS, and you want to use BusyBox, then you will need to adjust the | ||
| 2394 | BusyBox source. Chances are though, that if you have enough space to install | ||
| 2395 | of that stuff on your system, then you probably want the full GNU utilities. | ||
