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

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

70 help
71 All BusyBox applets will show more verbose help messages when
72 busybox is invoked with --help. This will add a lot of text to the

83
84 If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
85 bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
86 be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
87 and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise,
88 you probably want this.

128 depends on CONFIG_NITPICK
129 help
130 As a size optimization, busybox normally exits without explicitly
131 freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files. This saves
132 space since the OS will clean up for us, but it can confuse debuggers
133 like valgrind, which report tons of memory and resource leaks.
134

136 things up manually.

143 to root with the suid bit set, and it'll and it'll automatically drop
144 priviledges for applets that don't need root access.
145
146 If you're really paranoid and don't want to do this, build two
147 busybox binaries with different applets in them (and the appropriate
148 symlinks pointing to each binary), and only set the suid bit on the
149 one that needs it. The applets currently marked to need the suid bit
150 are login, passwd, su, ping, traceroute, crontab, dnsd, ipcrm, ipcs,
151 and vlock.

306 if my cross-compiler is /usr/i386-linux-uclibc/bin/i386-uclibc-gcc

314 Normally each source-file is compiled with one invocation of
315 the compiler.
316 If you set this option, all sources are compiled at once.
317 This gives the compiler more opportunities to optimize which can
318 result in smaller and/or faster binaries.
319
320 Setting this option will consume alot of memory, e.g. if you
321 enable all applets with all features, gcc uses more than 300MB
322 RAM during compilation of busybox.
323

325 such as gcc-4.1 and above.

369 want to properly set your environment, for example:
370 export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile
371 The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command
372 dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space -p log-elapsed-time \

379 fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
