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

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

  79           busybox is invoked with --help.  This will add a lot of text to the

  91           If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
  92           bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
  93           be noticeable.  Also, if you run executables directly from ROM

 135           As a size optimization, busybox normally exits without explicitly
 136           freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files.  This saves
 137           space since the OS will clean up for us, but it can confuse debuggers
 138           like valgrind, which report tons of memory and resource leaks.

 380           This enables compiling with Electric-fence support.  Electric
 381           fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
 382           your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
 383           accesses.  This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
 384           and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
 385           you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.
