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 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 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 default n
45 help
46 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 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
58 - 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.

73
74 config SHOW_USAGE
75 bool "Show terse applet usage messages"
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 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 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 be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
104 and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise,
105 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 Enable 'busybox --install [-s]' support. This will allow you to use
112 busybox at runtime to create hard links or symlinks for all the
113 applets that are compiled into busybox.
114
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 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 bool "Support for --long-options"
146 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 and /dev/pts/<number> for the slave side. Otherwise, BSD style
158 /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 freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files. This saves
167 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 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 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 to root with the suid bit set, and it will automatically drop
186 priviledges for applets that don't need root access.
187
188 If you are really paranoid and don't want to do this, build two
189 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 one that needs it. The applets currently marked to need the suid bit
192 are:
193
194 crontab, dnsd, findfs, ipcrm, ipcs, login, passwd, ping, su,
195 traceroute, vlock.
196
197 config FEATURE_SUID_CONFIG
198 bool "Runtime SUID/SGID configuration via /etc/busybox.conf"
199 default n if FEATURE_SUID
200 depends on FEATURE_SUID
201 help
202 Allow the SUID / SGID state of an applet to be determined at runtime
203 by checking /etc/busybox.conf. (This is sort of a poor man's sudo.)
204 The format of this file is as follows:
205
206 <applet> = [Ssx-][Ssx-][x-] (<username>|<uid>).(<groupname>|<gid>)
207
208 An example might help:
209
210 [SUID]
211 su = ssx root.0 # applet su can be run by anyone and runs with
212 # euid=0/egid=0
213 su = ssx # exactly the same
214
215 mount = sx- root.disk # applet mount can be run by root and members
216 # of group disk and runs with euid=0
217
218 cp = --- # disable applet cp for everyone
219
220 The file has to be owned by user root, group root and has to be
221 writeable only by root:
222 (chown 0.0 /etc/busybox.conf; chmod 600 /etc/busybox.conf)
223 The busybox executable has to be owned by user root, group
224 root and has to be setuid root for this to work:
225 (chown 0.0 /bin/busybox; chmod 4755 /bin/busybox)

240 bool "Support NSA Security Enhanced Linux"
241 default n
242 help
243 Enable support for SELinux in applets ls, ps, and id. Also provide
244 the option of compiling in SELinux applets.
245
246 If you do not have a complete SELinux userland installed, this stuff
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> \
254 LDFLAGS=-L<libselinux-lib-path> \
255 make

259 config FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS
260 bool "exec prefers applets"
261 default n
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).
272
273 config BUSYBOX_EXEC_PATH
274 string "Path to BusyBox executable"
275 default "/proc/self/exe"
276 help
277 When Busybox applets need to run other busybox applets, BusyBox
278 sometimes needs to exec() itself. When the /proc filesystem is
279 mounted, /proc/self/exe always points to the currently running
280 executable. If you haven't got /proc, set this to wherever you
281 want to run BusyBox from.

308 use or require any shared libraries, then enable this option.
309 This can cause BusyBox to be considerably larger, so you should
310 leave this option false unless you have a good reason (i.e.

344 busybox code.
345
346 This feature allows every applet to be built as a tiny

491 This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ )
492 which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem
493 detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will
494 want to properly set your environment, for example:
495 export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile
496 The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command
497 dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space \

504 This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric
505 fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
506 your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
