bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might

This is an experimental option which directs applets about to

call 'exec' to try and find an applicable busybox applet before

They will use applets even if /bin/APPLET -> busybox link

problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc and with ps/top

When Busybox applets need to run other busybox applets, BusyBox

sometimes needs to exec() itself. When the /proc filesystem is

As a size optimization, busybox normally exits without explicitly

freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files. This saves

If you want to build a static BusyBox binary, which does not

use or require any shared libraries, then enable this option.

your target platform does not support shared libraries, or

The compiler's optimization of source code can eliminate and reorder

code, resulting in an executable that's hard to understand when

stepping through it with a debugger. This switches it off, resulting

Using an additional debugging library will make BusyBox become

dmalloc support:
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ )
|
|
|
|
which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem
|
|
|
|
detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will
|
|
|
|
want to properly set your environment, for example:
|
|
|
|
export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile
|
|
|
|
The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command
|
|
|
|
dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space \
|
|
|
|
-p log-elapsed-time -p check-fence -p check-heap \
|
|
|
|
-p check-lists -p check-blank -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy \
|
|
|
|
-p allow-free-null
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Electric-fence support:
|
|
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric
|
|
|
|
fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
|
|
|
|
your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
|
|
|
|
accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
|
|
|
|
and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
|
|
|
|
you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.
