225 There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface
226 as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
228 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
229 devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
231 Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
233 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
234 a batch of unrelated devices to be makde with one command.
235 User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid.

264 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_RUNLEVEL
268 find the current and previous system runlevel.
270 This applet uses utmp but does not rely on busybox supporing

300 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_WATCHDOG
304 The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
305 device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
306 and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
307 watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
308 certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
309 hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
