prompt "Buffer allocation policy"
default "Allocate with Malloc"
help
Please submit a patch to add help text for this item.
There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
- Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
- Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
- Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
earlier.

help
Please submit a patch to add help text for this item.
All BusyBox applets will show more verbose help messages when
busybox is invoked with --help. This will add lots of text to the
busybox binary. In the default configuration, this will add about
13k, but it can add much more depending on your configuration.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_INSTALLER
bool "Support --install [-s] to install applet links at runtime"
default n
help
Please submit a patch to add help text for this item.
Enable 'busybox --install [-s]' support. This will allow you to use
busybox at runtime to create hard links or symlinks for all the
applets that are compiled into busybox. This feature requires the
/proc filesystem.
config CONFIG_LOCALE_SUPPORT
bool "Enable locale support (system needs locale for this to work)"
default n
help
Please submit a patch to add help text for this item.
Enable this if your system has locale support, and you would like
busybox to support locale settings.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVFS
bool "Support for devfs"
default n
help
Please submit a patch to add help text for this item.
Enable if you want BusyBox to work with devfs.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVPTS
bool "Use the devpts filesystem for Unix98 PTYs"
default y if CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVFS
help
Please submit a patch to add help text for this item.
Enable if you want BusyBox to use Unix98 PTY support. If enabled,
busybox will use /dev/ptmx for the master side of the pseudoterminal
and /dev/pts/<number> for the slave side. Otherwise, BSD style
/dev/ttyp<number> will be used. To use this option, you should have
devpts or devfs mounted.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP
bool "Clean up all memory before exiting (usually not needed)"
default n
help
Please submit a patch to add help text for this item.
As a size optimization, busybox by default does not cleanup memory
that is dynamically allocated or close files before exiting. This
saves space and is usually not needed since the OS will clean up for
us. Don't enable this unless you have a really good reason to clean
things up manually.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_SUID
bool "Support for SUID/SGID handling"
