<h3>BusyBox: The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
|
|
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
|
|
environment for any small or embedded system.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in
|
|
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
|
|
nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.
|
|
