.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common \s-1UNIX\s0 utilities into a single
|
|
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities
|
|
you usually find in \s-1GNU\s0 coreutils, util-linux, etc. The utilities in BusyBox
|
|
generally have fewer options than their full-featured \s-1GNU\s0 cousins; however, the
|
|
options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very
|
|
much like their \s-1GNU\s0 counterparts.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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 /dev, /etc, and a Linux kernel.
|
|
BusyBox provides a fairly complete \s-1POSIX\s0 environment for any small or embedded
|
|
system.
|
|
.PP
|
|
BusyBox is extremely configurable. This allows you to include only the
|
|
components you need, thereby reducing binary size. Run 'make config' or 'make
|
|
menuconfig' to select the functionality that you wish to enable. Then run
|
|
\&'make' to compile BusyBox using your configuration.
|
|
.PP
|
|
After the compile has finished, you should use 'make install' to install
|
|
BusyBox. This will install the 'bin/busybox' binary, in the target directory
|
|
specified by \s-1CONFIG_PREFIX. CONFIG_PREFIX\s0 can be set when configuring BusyBox,
|
|
or you can specify an alternative location at install time (i.e., with a
|
|
command line like 'make CONFIG_PREFIX=/tmp/foo install'). If you enabled
|
|
any applet installation scheme (either as symlinks or hardlinks), these will
|
|
also be installed in the location pointed to by \s-1CONFIG_PREFIX.\s0
|
|
.SH "USAGE"
|
|
.IX Header "USAGE"
|
|
BusyBox is a multi-call binary. A multi-call binary is an executable program
|
|
that performs the same job as more than one utility program. That means there
|
|
is just a single BusyBox binary, but that single binary acts like a large
|
|
number of utilities. This allows BusyBox to be smaller since all the built-in
|
|
utility programs (we call them applets) can share code for many common
|
|
operations.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can also invoke BusyBox by issuing a command as an argument on the
|
|
command line. For example, entering
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 1
|
|
\& /bin/busybox ls
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
will also cause BusyBox to behave as 'ls'.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Of course, adding '/bin/busybox' into every command would be painful. So most
|
|
people will invoke BusyBox using links to the BusyBox binary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
For example, entering
|
|
.PP
|
|
.Vb 2
|
|
\& ln \-s /bin/busybox ls
|
|
\& ./ls
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.PP
|
|
will cause BusyBox to behave as 'ls' (if the 'ls' command has been compiled
|
|
into BusyBox). Generally speaking, you should never need to make all these
|
|
links yourself, as the BusyBox build system will do this for you when you run
|
|
the 'make install' command.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you invoke BusyBox with no arguments, it will provide you with a list of the
|
|
applets that have been compiled into your BusyBox binary.
|
|
.SH "COMMON OPTIONS"
|
|
.IX Header "COMMON OPTIONS"
|
|
Most BusyBox applets support the \fB\-\-help\fR argument to provide a terse runtime
|
|
description of their behavior. If the \s-1CONFIG_FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE\s0 option has
|
|
been enabled, more detailed usage information will also be available.

.IX Header "LIBC NSS"
|
|
\&\s-1GNU\s0 Libc (glibc) uses the Name Service Switch (\s-1NSS\s0) to configure the behavior
|
|
of the C library for the local environment, and to configure how it reads
|
|
system data, such as passwords and group information. This is implemented
|
|
using an /etc/nsswitch.conf configuration file, and using one or more of the
|
|
/lib/libnss_* libraries. BusyBox tries to avoid using any libc calls that make
|
|
use of \s-1NSS. \s0 Some applets however, such as login and su, will use libc functions
|
|
that require \s-1NSS.\s0
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you enable \s-1CONFIG_USE_BB_PWD_GRP,\s0 BusyBox will use internal functions to
|
|
directly access the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow files without
|
|
using \s-1NSS. \s0 This may allow you to run your system without the need for
|
|
installing any of the \s-1NSS\s0 configuration files and libraries.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When used with glibc, the BusyBox 'networking' applets will similarly require
|
|
that you install at least some of the glibc \s-1NSS\s0 stuff (in particular,
|
|
/etc/nsswitch.conf, /lib/libnss_dns*, /lib/libnss_files*, and /lib/libresolv*).
|
|
.PP
|
|
Shameless Plug: As an alternative, one could use a C library such as uClibc. In
|
|
addition to making your system significantly smaller, uClibc does not require the
|
|
use of any \s-1NSS\s0 support files or libraries.
