6 menu "Busybox Library Tuning"
8 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PASSWORD_MINLEN
9 int "Minimum password length"
13 Minimum allowable password length.
15 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MD5_SIZE_VS_SPEED
16 int "MD5: Trade bytes for speed (0:fast, 3:slow)"
20 Trade binary size versus speed for the md5sum algorithm.
21 Approximate values running uClibc and hashing
22 linux-2.4.4.tar.bz2 were:
23 user times (sec) text size (386)
29 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_FAST_TOP
30 bool "Faster /proc scanning code (+100 bytes)"
33 This option makes top (and ps) ~20% faster (or 20% less CPU hungry),
34 but code size is slightly bigger.
36 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_ETC_NETWORKS
37 bool "Support for /etc/networks"
40 Enable support for network names in /etc/networks. This is
41 a rarely used feature which allows you to use names
42 instead of IP/mask pairs in route command.
44 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_TERMIOS
45 bool "Use termios to manipulate the screen"
47 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MORE || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_TOP || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_POWERTOP
49 This option allows utilities such as 'more' and 'top' to determine
50 the size of the screen. If you leave this disabled, your utilities
51 that display things on the screen will be especially primitive and
52 will be unable to determine the current screen size, and will be
53 unable to move the cursor.
55 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING
56 bool "Command line editing"
59 Enable line editing (mainly for shell command line).
61 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING_MAX_LEN
62 int "Maximum length of input"
65 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING
67 Line editing code uses on-stack buffers for storage.
68 You may want to decrease this parameter if your target machine
69 benefits from smaller stack usage.
71 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING_VI
72 bool "vi-style line editing commands"
74 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING
76 Enable vi-style line editing. In shells, this mode can be
77 turned on and off with "set -o vi" and "set +o vi".
79 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING_HISTORY
83 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING
85 Specify command history size.
87 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING_SAVEHISTORY
90 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING
92 Enable history saving in shells.
94 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_TAB_COMPLETION
97 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING
99 Enable tab completion.
101 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_USERNAME_COMPLETION
102 bool "Username completion"
104 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_TAB_COMPLETION
106 Enable username completion.
108 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING_FANCY_PROMPT
109 bool "Fancy shell prompts"
111 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING
113 Setting this option allows for prompts to use things like \w and
116 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING_ASK_TERMINAL
117 bool "Query cursor position from terminal"
119 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EDITING
121 Allow usage of "ESC [ 6 n" sequence. Terminal answers back with
122 current cursor position. This information is used to make line
123 editing more robust in some cases.
124 If you are not sure whether your terminals respond to this code
125 correctly, or want to save on code size (about 400 bytes),
126 then do not turn this option on.
128 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_NON_POSIX_CP
129 bool "Non-POSIX, but safer, copying to special nodes"
132 With this option, "cp file symlink" will delete symlink
133 and create a regular file. This does not conform to POSIX,
134 but prevents a symlink attack.
135 Similarly, "cp file device" will not send file's data
138 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_VERBOSE_CP_MESSAGE
139 bool "Give more precise messages when copy fails (cp, mv etc)"
142 Error messages with this feature enabled:
143 $ cp file /does_not_exist/file
144 cp: cannot create '/does_not_exist/file': Path does not exist
145 $ cp file /vmlinuz/file
146 cp: cannot stat '/vmlinuz/file': Path has non-directory component
147 If this feature is not enabled, they will be, respectively:
148 cp: cannot create '/does_not_exist/file': No such file or directory
149 cp: cannot stat '/vmlinuz/file': Not a directory
150 This will cost you ~60 bytes.
152 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_COPYBUF_KB
153 int "Copy buffer size, in kilobytes"
157 Size of buffer used by cp, mv, install etc.
158 Buffers which are 4 kb or less will be allocated on stack.
159 Bigger buffers will be allocated with mmap, with fallback to 4 kb
160 stack buffer if mmap fails.
162 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MONOTONIC_SYSCALL
163 bool "Use clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) syscall"
165 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
167 Use clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) syscall for measuring
168 time intervals (time, ping, traceroute etc need this).
169 Probably requires Linux 2.6+. If not selected, gettimeofday
170 will be used instead (which gives wrong results if date/time
173 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_IOCTL_HEX2STR_ERROR
174 bool "Use ioctl names rather than hex values in error messages"
177 Use ioctl names rather than hex values in error messages
178 (e.g. VT_DISALLOCATE rather than 0x5608). If disabled this
179 saves about 1400 bytes.
181 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_HWIB
182 bool "Support infiniband HW"
185 Support for printing infiniband addresses in
