16     config DESKTOP
17     bool "Enable options for full-blown desktop systems"
18     default n
19     help
20     Enable options and features which are not essential.
21     Select this only if you plan to use busybox on full-blown
22     desktop machine with common Linux distro, not on an embedded box.
23    
24 niro 816 config EXTRA_COMPAT
25     bool "Provide compatible behavior for rare corner cases (bigger code)"
26     default n
27     help
28     This option makes grep, sed etc handle rare corner cases
29     (embedded NUL bytes and such). This makes code bigger and uses
30     some GNU extensions in libc. You probably only need this option
31     if you plan to run busybox on desktop.
32    
33 niro 984 config INCLUDE_SUSv2
34     bool "Enable obsolete features removed before SUSv3"
35     default y
36     help
37     This option will enable backwards compatibility with SuSv2,
38     specifically, old-style numeric options ('command -1 <file>')
39     will be supported in head, tail, and fold. (Note: should
40     affect renice too.)
41    
42     config USE_PORTABLE_CODE
43     bool "Avoid using GCC-specific code constructs"
44 niro 816 default n
45     help
46 niro 984 Use this option if you are trying to compile busybox with
47     compiler other than gcc.
48     If you do use gcc, this option may needlessly increase code size.

51     prompt "Buffer allocation policy"
52     default FEATURE_BUFFERS_USE_MALLOC
53     help
54     There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
55     - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
56     - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
57 niro 816 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
58 niro 532 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
59     MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
60     behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
61     earlier.
62    
63     config FEATURE_BUFFERS_USE_MALLOC

76     default y
77     help
78     All BusyBox applets will show help messages when invoked with
79     wrong arguments. You can turn off printing these terse usage
80     messages if you say no here.
81     This will save you up to 7k.
82    
83     config FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE
84     bool "Show verbose applet usage messages"
85     default n
86     select SHOW_USAGE
87     help
88     All BusyBox applets will show more verbose help messages when
89 niro 816 busybox is invoked with --help. This will add a lot of text to the
90     busybox binary. In the default configuration, this will add about
91 niro 532 13k, but it can add much more depending on your configuration.
92    
93     config FEATURE_COMPRESS_USAGE
94     bool "Store applet usage messages in compressed form"
95     default y
96     depends on SHOW_USAGE
97     help
98     Store usage messages in compressed form, uncompress them on-the-fly
99     when <applet> --help is called.
100    
101     If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
102     bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
103 niro 816 be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
104     and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise,
105 niro 532 you probably want this.
106    
107     config FEATURE_INSTALLER
108     bool "Support --install [-s] to install applet links at runtime"
109     default n
110     help
111 niro 816 Enable 'busybox --install [-s]' support. This will allow you to use
112 niro 532 busybox at runtime to create hard links or symlinks for all the
113 niro 816 applets that are compiled into busybox.
114 niro 532
115     config LOCALE_SUPPORT
116     bool "Enable locale support (system needs locale for this to work)"
117     default n
118     help
119     Enable this if your system has locale support and you would like
120     busybox to support locale settings.
121    
122 niro 984 config FEATURE_ASSUME_UNICODE
123     bool "Support Unicode"
124     default n
125     help
126     This makes various applets aware that one byte is not
127     one character on screen.
128    
129     Busybox aims to eventually work correctly with Unicode displays.
130     Any older encodings are not guaranteed to work.
131     Probably by the time when busybox will be fully Unicode-clean,
132     other encodings will be mainly of historic interest.
133    
134     config FEATURE_CHECK_UNICODE_IN_ENV
135     bool "Check $LANG environment variable"
136     default y
137     depends on FEATURE_ASSUME_UNICODE && !LOCALE_SUPPORT
138     help
139     With this option on, Unicode support is activated
140     only if LANG variable has the value of the form "xxxx.utf8"
141    
142     Otherwise, Unicode support will be always enabled and active.
143    
144     config LONG_OPTS
145 niro 816 bool "Support for --long-options"
146 niro 532 default y
147     help
148     Enable this if you want busybox applets to use the gnu --long-option
149     style, in addition to single character -a -b -c style options.
150    
151     config FEATURE_DEVPTS
152     bool "Use the devpts filesystem for Unix98 PTYs"
153     default y
154     help
155     Enable if you want BusyBox to use Unix98 PTY support. If enabled,
156     busybox will use /dev/ptmx for the master side of the pseudoterminal
157 niro 816 and /dev/pts/<number> for the slave side. Otherwise, BSD style
158 niro 532 /dev/ttyp<number> will be used. To use this option, you should have
159     devpts mounted.
160    
161     config FEATURE_CLEAN_UP
162     bool "Clean up all memory before exiting (usually not needed)"
163     default n
164     help
165     As a size optimization, busybox normally exits without explicitly
166 niro 816 freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files. This saves
167 niro 532 space since the OS will clean up for us, but it can confuse debuggers
168     like valgrind, which report tons of memory and resource leaks.
169    
170     Don't enable this unless you have a really good reason to clean
171     things up manually.
172    
173 niro 816 config FEATURE_PIDFILE
174     bool "Support writing pidfiles"
175     default n
176     help
177     This option makes some applets (e.g. crond, syslogd, inetd) write
178     a pidfile in /var/run. Some applications rely on them.
179    
180 niro 532 config FEATURE_SUID
181     bool "Support for SUID/SGID handling"
182     default n
183     help
184     With this option you can install the busybox binary belonging
185 niro 816 to root with the suid bit set, and it will automatically drop
186 niro 532 priviledges for applets that don't need root access.
187    
188 niro 816 If you are really paranoid and don't want to do this, build two
189 niro 532 busybox binaries with different applets in them (and the appropriate
190     symlinks pointing to each binary), and only set the suid bit on the
191 niro 816 one that needs it. The applets currently marked to need the suid bit
192     are:
193 niro 532
194 niro 816 crontab, dnsd, findfs, ipcrm, ipcs, login, passwd, ping, su,
195     traceroute, vlock.

219    
220     The file has to be owned by user root, group root and has to be
221     writeable only by root:
222 niro 816 (chown 0.0 /etc/busybox.conf; chmod 600 /etc/busybox.conf)
223 niro 532 The busybox executable has to be owned by user root, group

244 niro 532 the option of compiling in SELinux applets.

247     will not compile. Go visit
248     http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/index.html
249     to download the necessary stuff to allow busybox to compile with
250     this option enabled. Specifially, libselinux 1.28 or better is
251     directly required by busybox. If the installation is located in a
252     non-standard directory, provide it by invoking make as follows:
253     CFLAGS=-I<libselinux-include-path> \

262     help
263     This is an experimental option which directs applets about to
264     call 'exec' to try and find an applicable busybox applet before
265     searching the PATH. This is typically done by exec'ing
266     /proc/self/exe.
267     This may affect shell, find -exec, xargs and similar applets.
268     They will use applets even if /bin/<applet> -> busybox link
269     is missing (or is not a link to busybox). However, this causes
270     problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc and with ps/top
271     (command name can be shown as 'exe' for applets started this way).

277     When Busybox applets need to run other busybox applets, BusyBox
278 niro 816 sometimes needs to exec() itself. When the /proc filesystem is

502     Electric-fence support:
503     -----------------------
504 niro 816 This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric
505 niro 532 fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
506     your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
507 niro 816 accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
508 niro 532 and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
509     you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.
