18 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LESS
22 'less' is a pager, meaning that it displays text files. It possesses
23 a wide array of features, and is an improvement over 'more'.
25 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_MAXLINES
26 int "Max number of input lines less will try to eat"
28 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LESS
30 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_BRACKETS
31 bool "Enable bracket searching"
33 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LESS
35 This option adds the capability to search for matching left and right
36 brackets, facilitating programming.
38 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_FLAGS
39 bool "Enable extra flags"
41 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LESS
43 The extra flags provided do the following:
45 The -M flag enables a more sophisticated status line.
46 The -m flag enables a simpler status line with a percentage.
48 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_MARKS

67 Makes less track window size changes.
69 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_ASK_TERMINAL
70 bool "Use 'tell me cursor position' ESC sequence to measure window"
72 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_WINCH
74 Makes less track window size changes.
75 If terminal size can't be retrieved and $LINES/$COLUMNS are not set,
76 this option makes less perform a last-ditch effort to find it:
77 position cursor to 999,999 and ask terminal to report real
78 cursor position using "ESC [ 6 n" escape sequence, then read stdin.
80 This is not clean but helps a lot on serial lines and such.
82 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_DASHCMD
83 bool "Enable flag changes ('-' command)"
85 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LESS
87 This enables the ability to change command-line flags within
88 less itself ('-' keyboard command).
90 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_LINENUMS
91 bool "Enable dynamic switching of line numbers"
93 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_DASHCMD

172 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_COMPRESS_BBCONFIG
173 bool "Compress bbconfig data"
175 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BBCONFIG
177 Store bbconfig data in compressed form, uncompress them on-the-fly
180 If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
181 bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
182 be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
183 and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise,
184 you probably want this.
186 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BEEP
189 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
191 The beep applets beeps in a given freq/Hz.
193 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_BEEP_FREQ

209 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT
215 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_NOFAIL
216 bool "Enable NOFAIL expect strings"
217 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT
220 When enabled expect strings which are started with a dash trigger
221 no-fail mode. That is when expectation is not met within timeout
222 the script is not terminated but sends next SEND string and waits
223 for next EXPECT string. This allows to compose far more flexible
226 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_TTY_HIFI
227 bool "Force STDIN to be a TTY"
228 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT
231 Original chat always treats STDIN as a TTY device and sets for it
232 so-called raw mode. This option turns on such behaviour.
234 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_IMPLICIT_CR
235 bool "Enable implicit Carriage Return"
236 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT
239 When enabled make chat to terminate all SEND strings with a "\r"
240 unless "\c" is met anywhere in the string.
242 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_SWALLOW_OPTS
243 bool "Swallow options"
244 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT
247 Busybox chat require no options. To make it not fail when used
248 in place of original chat (which has a bunch of options) turn
251 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_SEND_ESCAPES
252 bool "Support weird SEND escapes"
253 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT
256 Original chat uses some escape sequences in SEND arguments which
257 are not sent to device but rather performs special actions.
258 E.g. "\K" means to send a break sequence to device.
259 "\d" delays execution for a second, "\p" -- for a 1/100 of second.
260 Before turning this option on think twice: do you really need them?
262 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_VAR_ABORT_LEN
263 bool "Support variable-length ABORT conditions"

281 This requires sched_{g,s}etparam support in your libc.
283 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CROND
286 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG
288 Crond is a background daemon that parses individual crontab
289 files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question.
290 This is a port of dcron from slackware. It uses files of the
291 format /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> files, for example:
292 $ cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

303 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CROND_CALL_SENDMAIL
304 bool "Report command output via email (using sendmail)"
306 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CROND
308 Command output will be sent to corresponding user via email.

344 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
345 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SYSLOG
347 This is deprecated and should NOT be used anymore.
348 Use linux >= 2.6 (optionally with hotplug) and mdev instead!
349 See docs/mdev.txt for detailed instructions on how to use mdev
352 Provides compatibility with old device names on a devfs systems.
353 You should set it to true if you have devfs enabled.

386 bool "Use devfs names for all devices (obsolete)"
388 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
390 This is obsolete and should NOT be used anymore.
391 Use linux >= 2.6 (optionally with hotplug) and mdev instead!
393 For legacy systems -- if there is no way around devfsd -- this
394 tells busybox to look for names like /dev/loop/0 instead of
395 /dev/loop0. If your /dev directory has normal names instead of
396 devfs names, you don't want this.

583 as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
585 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
586 devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
588 Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
590 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing

645 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
647 Preload the files listed on the command line into RAM cache so that
648 subsequent reads on these files will not block on disk I/O.
650 This applet just calls the readahead(2) system call on each file.
651 It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files
652 or executables before they are used. When used at the right time
653 (in particular when a CPU bound process is running) it can
654 significantly speed up system startup.
656 As readahead(2) blocks until each file has been read, it is best to
657 run this applet as a background job.

759 The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
760 device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
761 and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
762 watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
763 certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
764 hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
