<h3>BusyBox: The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux</h3>
2006-06-28 04:03:22 +05:30
<p>BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
2003-12-23 15:30:00 +05:30
small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you
usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox
generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however,
the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave
very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete
2006-06-28 04:03:22 +05:30
environment for any small or embedded system.</p>

<p>BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in
2003-12-23 15:30:00 +05:30
mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude
commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize
your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add some device
2006-06-28 04:03:22 +05:30
nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.</p>
