+config BB_CONFIG_DMESG
+ bool "dmesg"
+ default n
+ help
+ dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. When the
+ Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in
+ the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring
+ buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel
+ ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages
+ are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you
+ wish to enable the 'dmesg' utility.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FBSET
+ bool "fbset"
+ default n
+ help
+ fbset is used to show or change the settings of a Linux frame buffer
+ device. The frame buffer device provides a simple and unique
+ interface to access a graphic display. Enable this option if you wish
+ to enable the 'fbset' utility.
+
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_FBSET_FANCY
+ bool " Turn on extra fbset options"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FBSET
+ help
+ This option enables extended fbset options, allowing one to set the
+ framebuffer size, color depth, etc. interface to access a graphic
+ display. Enable this option if you wish to enable extended fbset
+ options.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_FBSET_READMODE
+ bool " Turn on fbset readmode support"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FBSET
+ help
+ This option allows fbset to read the video mode database stored by
+ default as /etc/fb.modes, which can be used to set frame buffer
+ device to pre-defined video modes.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FDFLUSH
+ bool "fdflush"
+ default n
+ help
+ Fdflush is only needed when changing media on slightly-broken
+ removable media drives. It is used to make Linux believe that a
+ hardware disk-change switch has been actuated, which causes Linux to
+ forget anything it has cached from the previous media. If you have
+ such a slightly-broken drive, you will need to run fdflush every time
+ you change a disk. Most people have working hardware and can safely
+ say leave this disabled.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FDISK
+ bool "fdisk"
+ default n
+ help
+ The fdisk utility is used to divide hard disks into one or more
+ logical disks, which are generally called partitions. This utility
+ can be used to list and edit the set of partitions or BSD style
+ 'disk slices' that are defined on a hard drive.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
+ bool " Write support"
+ default y
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FDISK
+ help
+ Enabling this option allows you to create or change a partition table
+ and write those changes out to disk. If you leave this option
+ disabled, you will only be able to view the partition table.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_AIX_LABEL
+ bool " Support AIX disklabels"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FDISK && BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
+ help
+ Enabling this option allows you to create or change AIX disklabels.
+ Most people can safely leave this option disabled.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_SGI_LABEL
+ bool " Support SGI disklabels"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FDISK && BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
+ help
+ Enabling this option allows you to create or change SGI disklabels.
+ Most people can safely leave this option disabled.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_SUN_LABEL
+ bool " Support SUN disklabels"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FDISK && BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
+ help
+ Enabling this option allows you to create or change SUN disklabels.
+ Most people can safely leave this option disabled.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_OSF_LABEL
+ bool " Support BSD disklabels"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FDISK && BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
+ help
+ Enabling this option allows you to create or change BSD disklabels
+ and define and edit BSD disk slices.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_ADVANCED
+ bool " Support expert mode"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FDISK && BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
+ help
+ Enabling this option allows you to do terribly unsafe things like
+ define arbitrary drive geometry, move the beginning of data in a
+ partition, and similarly evil things. Unless you have a very good
+ reason you would be wise to leave this disabled.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FREERAMDISK
+ bool "freeramdisk"
+ default n
+ help
+ Linux allows you to create ramdisks. This utility allows you to
+ delete them and completely free all memory that was used for the
+ ramdisk. For example, if you boot Linux into a ramdisk and later
+ pivot_root, you may want to free the memory that is allocated to the
+ ramdisk. If you have no use for freeing memory from a ramdisk, leave
+ this disabled.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FSCK_MINIX
+ bool "fsck_minix"
+ default n
+ help
+ The minix filesystem is a nice, small, compact, read-write filesystem
+ with little overhead. It is not a journaling filesystem however and
+ can encounted corruption if it is not properly unmounted or if the
+ power goes off in the middle of a write. This utility allows you to
+ check for and attempt to repair any corruption that occurs to a minix
+ filesystem.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_MKFS_MINIX
+ bool "mkfs_minix"
+ default n
+ help
+ The minix filesystem is a nice, small, compact, read-write filesystem
+ with little overhead. If you wish to be able to create minix filesystems
+ this utility will do the job for you.
+
+comment "Minix filesystem support"
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FSCK_MINIX || BB_CONFIG_MKFS_MINIX
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_MINIX2
+ bool " Support Minix fs v2 (fsck_minix/mkfs_minix)"
+ default y
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FSCK_MINIX || BB_CONFIG_MKFS_MINIX
+ help
+ If you wish to be able to create version 2 minix filesystems, enable this.
+ If you enabled 'mkfs_minix' then you almost certainly want to be using the
+ version 2 filesystem support.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_GETOPT
+ bool "getopt"
+ default n
+ help
+ The getopt utility is used to break up (parse) options in command
+ lines to make it easy to write complex shell scripts that also check
+ for legal (and illegal) options. If you want to write horribly
+ complex shell scripts, or use some horribly complex shell script
+ written by others, this utility may be for you. Most people will
+ wisely leave this disabled.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_HEXDUMP
+ bool "hexdump"
+ default n
+ help
+ The hexdump utility is used to display binary data in a readable
+ way that is comparable to the output from most hex editors.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_HWCLOCK
+ bool "hwclock"
+ default n
+ help
+ The hwclock utility is used to read and set the hardware clock
+ on a system. This is primarily used to set the correct time in
+ the hardware close, so the hardware will keep the correct time
+ when Linux is _not_ running.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_HWCLOCK_LONGOPTIONS
+ bool " Support long options (--hctosys,...)"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_HWCLOCK
+ help
+ By default, the hwclock utility only uses short options. If you
+ are overly fond of the long options, such as --hctosys, --utc, etc)
+ then enable this option.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_LOSETUP
+ bool "losetup"
+ default n
+ help
+ losetup is used to associate or detach a loop device with a regular
+ file or block device, and to query the status of a loop device. This
+ version does not currently support enabling data encryption.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_MKSWAP
+ bool "mkswap"
+ default n
+ help
+ The mkswap utility is used to configure a file or disk partition as
+ Linux swap space. This allows Linux to use the entire file or
+ partition as if it were additional RAM, which can greatly increase
+ the capability of low-memory machines. This additional memory is
+ much slower than real RAM, but can be very helpful at preventing your
+ applications being killed by the Linux out of memory (OOM) killer. Once
+ you have created swap space using 'mkswap' you need to enable the swap
+ space using the 'swapon' utility.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_MORE
+ bool "more"
+ default n
+ help
+ More is a simple utility which allows you to read text one screen
+ sized page at a time. If you want to read text that is larger than
+ the screen, and you are using anything faster than a 300 baud modem,
+ you will probably find this utility very helpful. If you don't have
+ any need to reading text files, you can leave this disabled.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_TERMIOS
+ bool " Use termios to manipulate the screen"
+ default y
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_MORE
+ help
+ This option allows utilities such as 'more' and 'top' to determine
+ the size of the screen. If you leave this disabled, your utilities
+ that display things on the screen with be especially primitive and
+ will be unable to determine the current screen size, and will be
+ unable to move the cursor.
+
+comment "Common options for ls and more"
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_LS || BB_CONFIG_MORE
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_AUTOWIDTH
+ bool " Calculate terminal & column widths"
+ default y
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_LS || BB_CONFIG_MORE
+ help
+ This option allows utilities such as 'ls' and 'more' to determine the
+ width of the screen, which can allow them to display additional text
+ or avoid wrapping text onto the next line. If you leave this
+ disabled, your utilities will be especially primitive and will be
+ unable to determine the current screen width.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_PIVOT_ROOT
+ bool "pivot_root"
+ default n
+ help
+ The pivot_root utility swaps the mount points for the root filesystem
+ with some other mounted filesystem. This allows you to do all sorts
+ of wild and crazy things with your Linux system and is far more
+ powerful than 'chroot'.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_RDATE
+ bool "rdate"
+ default n
+ help
+ The rdate utility allows you to syncronize the date and time of your
+ system clock with the date and time of a remote networked system using
+ the RFC868 protocol, which is built into the inetd daemon on most
+ systems.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_SWAPONOFF
+ bool "swaponoff"
+ default n
+ help
+ This option enables both the 'swapon' and the 'swapoff' utilities.
+ Once you have created some swap space using 'mkswap', you also need
+ to enable your swap space with the 'swapon' utility. The 'swapoff'
+ utility is used, typically at system shutdown, to disable any swap
+ space. If you are not using any swap space, you can leave this
+ option disabled.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_MOUNT
+ bool "mount"
+ default n
+ help
+ All files and filesystems in Unix are arranged into one big directory
+ tree. The 'mount' utility is used to graft a filesystem onto a
+ particular part of the tree. A filesystem can either live on a block
+ device, or it can be accessible over the network, as is the case with
+ NFS filesystems. Most people using BusyBox will also want to enable
+ the 'mount' utility.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_NFSMOUNT
+ bool " Support mounting nfs file systems"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_MOUNT
+ help
+ Please submit a patch to add help text for this item.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_UMOUNT
+ bool "umount"
+ default n
+ help
+ When you want to remove a mounted filesystem from its current mount point,
+ for example when you are shutting down the system, the 'umount' utility is
+ the tool to use. If you enabled the 'mount' utility, you almost certainly
+ also want to enable 'umount'.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FORCE
+ bool " Support forced filesystem unmounting"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_UMOUNT
+ help
+ This allows you to _force_ a filesystem to be umounted. This is generally
+ only useful when you want to get rid of an unreachable NFS system.
+
+comment "Common options for mount/umount"
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_MOUNT || BB_CONFIG_UMOUNT
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_LOOP
+ bool " Support for loop devices"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_MOUNT || BB_CONFIG_UMOUNT
+ help
+ Enabling this feature allows mount to use the '-o' loop options,
+ which lets you loop mount files. Mount will automagically setup and
+ free the necessary loop devices so you do not need to mess with the
+ 'losetup' utility unless you really want to. This is really only useful
+ if you plan to loop mount files.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_MTAB_SUPPORT
+ bool " Support for a real /etc/mtab (instead of /proc/mounts)"
+ default n
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_MOUNT || BB_CONFIG_UMOUNT
+ help
+ If your root filesystem is writable and you wish to have the 'mount'
+ utility create an mtab file listing the filesystems which have been
+ mounted then you should enable this option. Most people that use
+ BusyBox have a read-only root filesystem, so they will leave this
+ option disabled and BusyBox will use the /proc/mounts file.
+
+config BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_MTAB_FILENAME
+ string " mtab file location"
+ default "/etc/mtab"
+ depends on BB_CONFIG_FEATURE_MTAB_SUPPORT
+ help
+ Some people have a read only root filesystem, but they also wish to
+ have the 'mount' utility create an mtab file listing the filesystems
+ which have been mounted. This option allows you to specify an alternative
+ location for the mtab file, such as /var/mtab, or /tmp/mtab. The default
+ value is /etc/mtab, which is where this file is located on most desktop
+ Linux systems.
