18 default n
19 help
20 Some BusyBox applets have more configuration options than anyone
21 will ever care about. To avoid drowining people in complexity, most
22 of the applet features that can be set to a sane default value are
23 hidden, unless you hit the above switch.
24
25 This is better than to telling people to edit the busybox source
26 code, but not by much.

32 config DESKTOP
33 bool "Enable options for full-blown desktop systems"
34 default n
35 help
36 Enable options and features which are not essential.
37 Select this only if you plan to use busybox on full-blown
38 desktop machine with common Linux distro, not on an embedded box.

40 choice
41 prompt "Buffer allocation policy"
42 default FEATURE_BUFFERS_USE_MALLOC
43 depends on NITPICK
44 help
45 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
46 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
47 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
48 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
49 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
50 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
51 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
52 earlier.

65 config SHOW_USAGE
66 bool "Show terse applet usage messages"
67 default y
68 help
69 All BusyBox applets will show help messages when invoked with
70 wrong arguments. You can turn off printing these terse usage
71 messages if you say no here.
72 This will save you up to 7k.
73
74 config FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE
75 bool "Show verbose applet usage messages"
76 default n
77 select SHOW_USAGE
78 help
79 All BusyBox applets will show more verbose help messages when
80 busybox is invoked with --help. This will add a lot of text to the
81 busybox binary. In the default configuration, this will add about
82 13k, but it can add much more depending on your configuration.
83
84 config FEATURE_COMPRESS_USAGE
85 bool "Store applet usage messages in compressed form"
86 default y
87 depends on SHOW_USAGE
88 help
89 Store usage messages in compressed form, uncompress them on-the-fly
90 when <applet> --help is called.
91
92 If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
93 bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
94 be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
95 and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise,
96 you probably want this.
97
98 config FEATURE_INSTALLER
99 bool "Support --install [-s] to install applet links at runtime"
100 default n
101 help
102 Enable 'busybox --install [-s]' support. This will allow you to use
103 busybox at runtime to create hard links or symlinks for all the
104 applets that are compiled into busybox. This feature requires the
105 /proc filesystem.
106
107 config LOCALE_SUPPORT
108 bool "Enable locale support (system needs locale for this to work)"
109 default n
110 help
111 Enable this if your system has locale support and you would like
112 busybox to support locale settings.
113
114 config GETOPT_LONG
115 bool "Enable support for --long-options"
116 default y
117 help
118 Enable this if you want busybox applets to use the gnu --long-option
119 style, in addition to single character -a -b -c style options.
120
121 config FEATURE_DEVPTS
122 bool "Use the devpts filesystem for Unix98 PTYs"
123 default y
124 help
125 Enable if you want BusyBox to use Unix98 PTY support. If enabled,
126 busybox will use /dev/ptmx for the master side of the pseudoterminal
127 and /dev/pts/<number> for the slave side. Otherwise, BSD style
128 /dev/ttyp<number> will be used. To use this option, you should have
129 devpts mounted.
130
131 config FEATURE_CLEAN_UP
132 bool "Clean up all memory before exiting (usually not needed)"
133 default n
134 depends on NITPICK
135 help
136 As a size optimization, busybox normally exits without explicitly
137 freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files. This saves
138 space since the OS will clean up for us, but it can confuse debuggers
139 like valgrind, which report tons of memory and resource leaks.
140
141 Don't enable this unless you have a really good reason to clean
142 things up manually.
143
144 config FEATURE_SUID
145 bool "Support for SUID/SGID handling"
146 default n
147 help
148 With this option you can install the busybox binary belonging
149 to root with the suid bit set, and it'll and it'll automatically drop
150 priviledges for applets that don't need root access.
151
152 If you're really paranoid and don't want to do this, build two
153 busybox binaries with different applets in them (and the appropriate
154 symlinks pointing to each binary), and only set the suid bit on the
155 one that needs it. The applets currently marked to need the suid bit
156 are login, passwd, su, ping, traceroute, crontab, dnsd, ipcrm, ipcs,
157 and vlock.
158
159 config FEATURE_SYSLOG
160 bool "Support for syslog"
161 default n
162 help
163 This option is auto-selected when you select any applet which may
164 send its output to syslog. You do not need to select it manually.
165
166 config FEATURE_SUID_CONFIG
167 bool "Runtime SUID/SGID configuration via /etc/busybox.conf"
168 default n if FEATURE_SUID
169 depends on FEATURE_SUID
170 help
171 Allow the SUID / SGID state of an applet to be determined at runtime
172 by checking /etc/busybox.conf. (This is sort of a poor man's sudo.)
173 The format of this file is as follows:
174
175 <applet> = [Ssx-][Ssx-][x-] (<username>|<uid>).(<groupname>|<gid>)
176
177 An example might help:
178
179 [SUID]
180 su = ssx root.0 # applet su can be run by anyone and runs with euid=0/egid=0
181 su = ssx # exactly the same
182
183 mount = sx- root.disk # applet mount can be run by root and members of group disk
184 # and runs with euid=0
185
186 cp = --- # disable applet cp for everyone
187
188 The file has to be owned by user root, group root and has to be
189 writeable only by root:
190 (chown 0.0 /etc/busybox.conf; chmod 600 /etc/busybox.conf)
191 The busybox executable has to be owned by user root, group
192 root and has to be setuid root for this to work:
193 (chown 0.0 /bin/busybox; chmod 4755 /bin/busybox)

217 help
218 Enable support for SELinux in applets ls, ps, and id. Also provide
219 the option of compiling in SELinux applets.
220
221 If you do not have a complete SELinux userland installed, this stuff
222 will not compile. Go visit
223 http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/index.html
224 to download the necessary stuff to allow busybox to compile with
225 this option enabled. Specifially, libselinux 1.28 or better is
226 directly required by busybox. If the installation is located in a
227 non-standard directory, provide it by invoking make as follows:
228 CFLAGS=-I<libselinux-include-path> \
229 LDFLAGS=-L<libselinux-lib-path> \
230 make

235 string "Path to BusyBox executable"
236 default "/proc/self/exe"
237 help
238 When Busybox applets need to run other busybox applets, BusyBox
239 sometimes needs to exec() itself. When the /proc filesystem is
240 mounted, /proc/self/exe always points to the currently running
241 executable. If you haven't got /proc, set this to wherever you
242 want to run BusyBox from.

251 help
252 If you want to build a static BusyBox binary, which does not
253 use or require any shared libraries, then enable this option.
254 This can cause BusyBox to be considerably larger, so you should
255 leave this option false unless you have a good reason (i.e.
256 your target platform does not support shared libraries, or
257 you are building an initrd which doesn't need anything but
258 BusyBox, etc).

265 help
266 Build a shared library libbusybox.so which contains all
267 libraries used inside busybox.
268
269 This is an experimental feature intended to support the upcoming
270 "make standalone" mode. Enabling it against the one big busybox
271 binary serves no purpose (and increases the size). You should
272 almost certainly say "no" to this right now.

278 help
279 Build a libbusybox with the complete feature-set, disregarding
280 the actually selected config.
281
282 Normally, libbusybox will only contain the features which are
283 used by busybox itself. If you plan to write a separate
284 standalone application which uses libbusybox say 'Y'.
285
286 Note: libbusybox is GPL, not LGPL, and exports no stable API that
287 might act as a copyright barrier. We can and will modify the
288 exported function set between releases (even minor version number
289 changes), and happily break out-of-tree features.
290

303 default n
304 select FDISK_SUPPORT_LARGE_DISKS
305 help
306 If you want to build BusyBox with large file support, then enable
307 this option. This will have no effect if your kernel or your C
308 library lacks large file support for large files. Some of the
309 programs that can benefit from large file support include dd, gzip,
310 cp, mount, tar, and many others. If you want to access files larger
311 than 2 Gigabytes, enable this option. Otherwise, leave it set to 'N'.
312
313 config BUILD_AT_ONCE
314 bool "Compile all sources at once"
315 default n
316 help
317 Normally each source-file is compiled with one invocation of
318 the compiler.
319 If you set this option, all sources are compiled at once.
320 This gives the compiler more opportunities to optimize which can
321 result in smaller and/or faster binaries.
322
323 Setting this option will consume alot of memory, e.g. if you
324 enable all applets with all features, gcc uses more than 300MB
325 RAM during compilation of busybox.
326
327 This option is most likely only beneficial for newer compilers
328 such as gcc-4.1 and above.

340 Say Y here if you wish to examine BusyBox internals while applets are
341 running. This increases the size of the binary considerably, and
342 should only be used when doing development. If you are doing

351 help
352 The compiler's optimization of source code can eliminate and reorder
353 code, resulting in an executable that's hard to understand when
354 stepping through it with a debugger. This switches it off, resulting
355 in a much bigger executable that more closely matches the source
356 code.

362 help
363 Using an additional debugging library will make BusyBox become
364 considerable larger and will cause it to run more slowly. You
365 should always leave this option disabled for production use.
366
367 dmalloc support:
368 ----------------
369 This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ )
370 which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem
371 detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will
372 want to properly set your environment, for example:
373 export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile
374 The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command
375 dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space -p log-elapsed-time \
376 -p check-fence -p check-heap -p check-lists -p check-blank \
377 -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy -p allow-free-null
378
379 Electric-fence support:
380 -----------------------
381 This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric
382 fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
383 your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
384 accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
385 and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
386 you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.
