| 3 | <h3>BusyBox: The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux</h3>
|
---|
| 4 |
|

| 5 | <p>BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
|
---|
| 6 | small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you
|
---|
| 7 | usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox
|
---|
| 8 | generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however,
|
---|
| 9 | the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave
|
---|
| 10 | very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete
|
---|
| 11 | environment for any small or embedded system.</p>
|
---|
| 12 |
|
---|
| 13 | <p>BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in
|
---|
| 14 | mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude
|
---|
| 15 | commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize
|
---|
| 16 | your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add some device
|
---|
| 17 | nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.</p>
