  6. config CONFIG_AR
  7. bool "ar"
  8. default n
  9. help
  10. ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
  11. extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding
  12. a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
  13. retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
  14. The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
  15. and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on
  16. extraction.
  17. The stored filename is limited to 15 characters. (for more information
  18. see long filename support).
  19. ar has 60 bytes of overheads for every stored file.
  20. This implementation of ar can extract archives, it cannot create or
  21. modify them.
  22. On an x86 system, the ar applet adds about 1K.
  23. Unless you have a specific application which requires ar, you should
  24. probably say N here.
  25. config CONFIG_FEATURE_AR_LONG_FILENAMES
  26. bool " Enable support for long filenames (not need for debs)"
  27. default n
  28. depends on CONFIG_AR
  29. help
  30. By default the ar format can only store the first 15 characters of the
  31. filename, this option removes that limitation.
  32. It supports the GNU ar long filename method which moves multiple long
  33. filenames into a the data section of a new ar entry.
  34. config CONFIG_BUNZIP2
  35. bool "bunzip2"
  36. default n
  37. help
  38. bunzip2 is a compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block
  39. sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression
  40. is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
  41. conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the
  42. performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.
  43. The BusyBox bunzip2 applet is limited to de-compression only.
  44. On an x86 system, this applet adds about 11K.
  45. Unless you have a specific application which requires bunzip2, you
  46. should probably say N here.
  47. config CONFIG_CPIO
  48. bool "cpio"
  49. default n
  50. help
  51. cpio is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and extract
  52. contents from archives.
  53. cpio has 110 bytes of overheads for every stored file.
  54. This implementation of cpio can extract cpio archives created in the
  55. "newc" or "crc" format, it cannot create or modify them.
  56. Unless you have a specific application which requires cpio, you should
  57. probably say N here.
  58. config CONFIG_DPKG
  59. bool "dpkg"
  60. default n
  61. help
  62. dpkg is a medium-level tool to install, build, remove and manage Debian packages.
  63. This implementation of dpkg has a number of limitations, you should use the
  64. official dpkg if possible.
  65. config CONFIG_DPKG_DEB
  66. bool "dpkg_deb"
  67. default n
  68. help
  69. dpkg-deb packs, unpacks and provides information about Debian archives.
  70. This implementation of dpkg-deb cannot pack archives.
  71. Unless you have a specific application which requires dpkg-deb, you should
  72. probably say N here.
  73. config CONFIG_FEATURE_DPKG_DEB_EXTRACT_ONLY
  74. bool " extract only (-x)"
  75. default n
  76. depends on CONFIG_DPKG_DEB
  77. help
  78. This reduces dpkg-deb to the equivalent of "ar -p <deb> data.tar.gz | tar -zx".
  79. However it saves space as none of the extra dpkg-deb, ar or tar options are
  80. needed, they are linked to internally.
  81. config CONFIG_GUNZIP
  82. bool "gunzip"
  83. default n
