When the + Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in + the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring + buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel + ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages + are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you + wish to enable the 'dmesg' utility. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FBSET + bool "fbset" + default n + help + fbset is used to show or change the settings of a Linux frame buffer + device. The frame buffer device provides a simple and unique + interface to access a graphics display. Enable this option + if you wish to enable the 'fbset' utility. + + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FBSET_FANCY + bool " Turn on extra fbset options" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FBSET + help + This option enables extended fbset options, allowing one to set the + framebuffer size, color depth, etc. interface to access a graphics + display. Enable this option if you wish to enable extended fbset + options. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FBSET_READMODE + bool " Turn on fbset readmode support" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FBSET + help + This option allows fbset to read the video mode database stored by + default n /etc/fb.modes, which can be used to set frame buffer + device to pre-defined video modes. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDFLUSH + bool "fdflush" + default n + help + fdflush is only needed when changing media on slightly-broken + removable media drives. It is used to make Linux believe that a + hardware disk-change switch has been actuated, which causes Linux to + forget anything it has cached from the previous media. If you have + such a slightly-broken drive, you will need to run fdflush every time + you change a disk. Most people have working hardware and can safely + leave this disabled. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDFORMAT + bool "fdformat" + default n + help + fdformat is used to low-level format a floppy disk. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDISK + bool "fdisk" + default n + help + The fdisk utility is used to divide hard disks into one or more + logical disks, which are generally called partitions. This utility + can be used to list and edit the set of partitions or BSD style + 'disk slices' that are defined on a hard drive. + +config BUSYBOX_FDISK_SUPPORT_LARGE_DISKS + bool + default y + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDISK + help + Enable this option to support large disks > 4GB. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE + bool " Write support" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDISK + help + Enabling this option allows you to create or change a partition table + and write those changes out to disk. If you leave this option + disabled, you will only be able to view the partition table. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_AIX_LABEL + bool " Support AIX disklabels" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDISK && BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE + help + Enabling this option allows you to create or change AIX disklabels. + Most people can safely leave this option disabled. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SGI_LABEL + bool " Support SGI disklabels" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDISK && BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE + help + Enabling this option allows you to create or change SGI disklabels. + Most people can safely leave this option disabled. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SUN_LABEL + bool " Support SUN disklabels" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDISK && BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE + help + Enabling this option allows you to create or change SUN disklabels. + Most people can safely leave this option disabled. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_OSF_LABEL + bool " Support BSD disklabels" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDISK && BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE + help + Enabling this option allows you to create or change BSD disklabels + and define and edit BSD disk slices. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_ADVANCED + bool " Support expert mode" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDISK && BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE + help + Enabling this option allows you to do terribly unsafe things like + define arbitrary drive geometry, move the beginning of data in a + partition, and similarly evil things. Unless you have a very good + reason you would be wise to leave this disabled. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FREERAMDISK + bool "freeramdisk" + default n + help + Linux allows you to create ramdisks. This utility allows you to + delete them and completely free all memory that was used for the + ramdisk. For example, if you boot Linux into a ramdisk and later + pivot_root, you may want to free the memory that is allocated to the + ramdisk. If you have no use for freeing memory from a ramdisk, leave + this disabled. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FSCK_MINIX + bool "fsck_minix" + default n + help + The minix filesystem is a nice, small, compact, read-write filesystem + with little overhead. It is not a journaling filesystem however and + can experience corruption if it is not properly unmounted or if the + power goes off in the middle of a write. This utility allows you to + check for and attempt to repair any corruption that occurs to a minix + filesystem. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MKFS_MINIX + bool "mkfs_minix" + default n + help + The minix filesystem is a nice, small, compact, read-write filesystem + with little overhead. If you wish to be able to create minix filesystems + this utility will do the job for you. + +comment "Minix filesystem support" + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FSCK_MINIX || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MKFS_MINIX + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MINIX2 + bool " Support Minix fs v2 (fsck_minix/mkfs_minix)" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FSCK_MINIX || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MKFS_MINIX + help + If you wish to be able to create version 2 minix filesystems, enable this. + If you enabled 'mkfs_minix' then you almost certainly want to be using the + version 2 filesystem support. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_GETOPT + bool "getopt" + default n + help + The getopt utility is used to break up (parse) options in command + lines to make it easy to write complex shell scripts that also check + for legal (and illegal) options. If you want to write horribly + complex shell scripts, or use some horribly complex shell script + written by others, this utility may be for you. Most people will + wisely leave this disabled. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HEXDUMP + bool "hexdump" + default y + help + The hexdump utility is used to display binary data in a readable + way that is comparable to the output from most hex editors. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HWCLOCK + bool "hwclock" + default n + help + The hwclock utility is used to read and set the hardware clock + on a system. This is primarily used to set the current time on + shutdown in the hardware clock, so the hardware will keep the + correct time when Linux is _not_ running. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_HWCLOCK_LONGOPTIONS + bool " Support long options (--hctosys,...)" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HWCLOCK + help + By default, the hwclock utility only uses short options. If you + are overly fond of its long options, such as --hctosys, --utc, etc) + then enable this option. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOSETUP + bool "losetup" + default n + help + losetup is used to associate or detach a loop device with a regular + file or block device, and to query the status of a loop device. This + version does not currently support enabling data encryption. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MKSWAP + bool "mkswap" + default n + help + The mkswap utility is used to configure a file or disk partition as + Linux swap space. This allows Linux to use the entire file or + partition as if it were additional RAM, which can greatly increase + the capability of low-memory machines. This additional memory is + much slower than real RAM, but can be very helpful at preventing your + applications being killed by the Linux out of memory (OOM) killer. + Once you have created swap space using 'mkswap' you need to enable + the swap space using the 'swapon' utility. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MORE + bool "more" + default y + help + more is a simple utility which allows you to read text one screen + sized page at a time. If you want to read text that is larger than + the screen, and you are using anything faster than a 300 baud modem, + you will probably find this utility very helpful. If you don't have + any need to reading text files, you can leave this disabled. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_TERMIOS + bool " Use termios to manipulate the screen" + default y + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MORE + help + This option allows utilities such as 'more' and 'top' to determine + the size of the screen. If you leave this disabled, your utilities + that display things on the screen will be especially primitive and + will be unable to determine the current screen size, and will be + unable to move the cursor. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PIVOT_ROOT + bool "pivot_root" + default y + help + The pivot_root utility swaps the mount points for the root filesystem + with some other mounted filesystem. This allows you to do all sorts + of wild and crazy things with your Linux system and is far more + powerful than 'chroot'. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_RDATE + bool "rdate" + default y + help + The rdate utility allows you to synchronize the date and time of your + system clock with the date and time of a remote networked system using + the RFC868 protocol, which is built into the inetd daemon on most + systems. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SWAPONOFF + bool "swaponoff" + default n + help + This option enables both the 'swapon' and the 'swapoff' utilities. + Once you have created some swap space using 'mkswap', you also need + to enable your swap space with the 'swapon' utility. The 'swapoff' + utility is used, typically at system shutdown, to disable any swap + space. If you are not using any swap space, you can leave this + option disabled. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT + bool "mount" + default y + help + All files and filesystems in Unix are arranged into one big directory + tree. The 'mount' utility is used to graft a filesystem onto a + particular part of the tree. A filesystem can either live on a block + device, or it can be accessible over the network, as is the case with + NFS filesystems. Most people using BusyBox will also want to enable + the 'mount' utility. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_NFSMOUNT + bool " Support mounting NFS file systems" + default y + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT + help + Enable mounting of NFS file systems. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UMOUNT + bool "umount" + default y + help + When you want to remove a mounted filesystem from its current mount point, + for example when you are shutting down the system, the 'umount' utility is + the tool to use. If you enabled the 'mount' utility, you almost certainly + also want to enable 'umount'. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FORCE + bool " Support forced filesystem unmounting" + default y + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UMOUNT + help + This allows you to _force_ a filesystem to be umounted. This is generally + only useful when you want to get rid of an unreachable NFS system. + +comment "Common options for mount/umount" + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UMOUNT + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_LOOP + bool " Support for loop devices" + default y + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UMOUNT + help + Enabling this feature allows mount to use the '-o' loop options, + which lets you loop mount files. Mount will automagically setup and + free the necessary loop devices so you do not need to mess with the + 'losetup' utility unless you really want to. This is really + only useful if you plan to loop mount files. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MTAB_SUPPORT + bool " Support for a real /etc/mtab (instead of /proc/mounts)" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UMOUNT + help + If your root filesystem is writable and you wish to have the 'mount' + utility create an mtab file listing the filesystems which have been + mounted then you should enable this option. Most people that use + BusyBox have a read-only root filesystem, so they will leave this + option disabled and BusyBox will use the /proc/mounts file. + +config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MTAB_FILENAME + string " mtab file location" + default n + depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MTAB_SUPPORT + help + Some people have a read only root filesystem, but they also wish to + have the 'mount' utility create an mtab file listing the filesystems + which have been mounted. This option allows you to specify an alternative + location for the mtab file, such as /var/mtab, or /tmp/mtab. The default + value is /etc/mtab, which is where this file is located on most desktop + Linux systems. + +endmenu + |
