config DESKTOP
	bool "Enable options for full-blown desktop systems"
	default y
	help
	  Enable options and features which are not essential.
	  Select this only if you plan to use busybox on full-blown
	  desktop machine with common Linux distro, not on an embedded box.

config EXTRA_COMPAT
	bool "Provide compatible behavior for rare corner cases (bigger code)"
	default n
	help
	  This option makes grep, sed etc handle rare corner cases
	  (embedded NUL bytes and such). This makes code bigger and uses
	  some GNU extensions in libc. You probably only need this option
	  if you plan to run busybox on desktop.

config INCLUDE_SUSv2
	bool "Enable obsolete features removed before SUSv3"
	default y
	help
	  This option will enable backwards compatibility with SuSv2,
	  specifically, old-style numeric options ('command -1 <file>')
	  will be supported in head, tail, and fold. (Note: should
	  affect renice too.)

config USE_PORTABLE_CODE
	bool "Avoid using GCC-specific code constructs"
	default n
	help
	  Use this option if you are trying to compile busybox with
	  compiler other than gcc.
	  If you do use gcc, this option may needlessly increase code size.

config PLATFORM_LINUX
	bool "Enable Linux-specific applets and features"
	default y
	help
	  For the most part, busybox requires only POSIX compatibility
	  from the target system, but some applets and features use
	  Linux-specific interfaces.

	  Answering 'N' here will disable such applets and hide the
	  corresponding configuration options.

choice
	prompt "Buffer allocation policy"
	default FEATURE_BUFFERS_USE_MALLOC
	help
	  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.

config FEATURE_BUFFERS_USE_MALLOC
	bool "Allocate with Malloc"

config FEATURE_BUFFERS_GO_ON_STACK
	bool "Allocate on the Stack"

config FEATURE_BUFFERS_GO_IN_BSS
	bool "Allocate in the .bss section"

config SHOW_USAGE
	bool "Show terse applet usage messages"
	default y
	help
	  All BusyBox applets will show help messages when invoked with
	  wrong arguments. You can turn off printing these terse usage
	  messages if you say no here.
	  This will save you up to 7k.

config FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE
	bool "Show verbose applet usage messages"
	default y
	depends on SHOW_USAGE
	help
	  All BusyBox applets will show more verbose help messages when
	  busybox is invoked with --help. This will add a lot 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 FEATURE_COMPRESS_USAGE
	bool "Store applet usage messages in compressed form"
	default y
	depends on SHOW_USAGE
	help
	  Store usage messages in compressed form, uncompress them on-the-fly
	  when <applet> --help is called.

	  If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
	  bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
	  be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
	  and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise,
	  you probably want this.

config FEATURE_INSTALLER
	bool "Support --install [-s] to install applet links at runtime"
	default y
	help
	  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.

config INSTALL_NO_USR
	bool "Don't use /usr"
	default n
	help
	  Disable use of /usr. busybox --install and "make install"
	  will install applets only to /bin and /sbin,
	  never to /usr/bin or /usr/sbin.

config LOCALE_SUPPORT
	bool "Enable locale support (system needs locale for this to work)"
	default n
	help
	  Enable this if your system has locale support and you would like
	  busybox to support locale settings.

config UNICODE_SUPPORT
	bool "Support Unicode"
	default y
	help
	  This makes various applets aware that one byte is not
	  one character on screen.

	  Busybox aims to eventually work correctly with Unicode displays.
	  Any older encodings are not guaranteed to work.
	  Probably by the time when busybox will be fully Unicode-clean,
	  other encodings will be mainly of historic interest.

config UNICODE_USING_LOCALE
	bool "Use libc routines for Unicode (else uses internal ones)"
	default n
	depends on UNICODE_SUPPORT && LOCALE_SUPPORT
	help
	  With this option on, Unicode support is implemented using libc
	  routines. Otherwise, internal implementation is used.
	  Internal implementation is smaller.

config FEATURE_CHECK_UNICODE_IN_ENV
	bool "Check $LANG environment variable"
	default n
	depends on UNICODE_SUPPORT && !UNICODE_USING_LOCALE
	help
	  With this option on, Unicode support is activated
	  only if LANG variable has the value of the form "xxxx.utf8"

	  Otherwise, Unicode support will be always enabled and active.

config SUBST_WCHAR
	int "Character code to substitute unprintable characters with"
	depends on UNICODE_SUPPORT
	default 63
	help
	  Typical values are 63 for '?' (works with any output device),
	  30 for ASCII substitute control code,
	  65533 (0xfffd) for Unicode replacement character.

config LAST_SUPPORTED_WCHAR
	int "Range of supported Unicode characters"
	depends on UNICODE_SUPPORT
	default 767
	help
	  Any character with Unicode value bigger than this is assumed
	  to be non-printable on output device. Many applets replace
	  such chars with substitution character.

	  The idea is that many valid printable Unicode chars are
	  nevertheless are not displayed correctly. Think about
	  combining charachers, double-wide hieroglyphs, obscure
	  characters in dozens of ancient scripts...
	  Many terminals, terminal emulators, xterms etc will fail
	  to handle them correctly. Choose the smallest value
	  which suits your needs.

	  Typical values are:
	  126 - ASCII only
	  767 (0x2ff) - there are no combining chars in [0..767] range
			(the range includes Latin 1, Latin Ext. A and B),
			code is ~700 bytes smaller for this case.
	  4351 (0x10ff) - there are no double-wide chars in [0..4351] range,
			code is ~300 bytes smaller for this case.
	  12799 (0x31ff) - nearly all non-ideographic characters are
			available in [0..12799] range, including
			East Asian scripts like katakana, hiragana, hangul,
			bopomofo...
	  0 - off, any valid printable Unicode character will be printed.

config UNICODE_COMBINING_WCHARS
	bool "Allow zero-width Unicode characters on output"
	default n
	depends on UNICODE_SUPPORT
	help
	  With this option off, any Unicode char with width of 0
	  is substituted on output.

config UNICODE_WIDE_WCHARS
	bool "Allow wide Unicode characters on output"
	default n
	depends on UNICODE_SUPPORT
	help
	  With this option off, any Unicode char with width > 1
	  is substituted on output.

config UNICODE_BIDI_SUPPORT
	bool "Bidirectional character-aware line input"
	default n
	depends on UNICODE_SUPPORT && !UNICODE_USING_LOCALE
	help
	  With this option on, right-to-left Unicode characters
	  are treated differently on input (e.g. cursor movement).

config UNICODE_NEUTRAL_TABLE
	bool "In bidi input, support non-ASCII neutral chars too"
	default n
	depends on UNICODE_BIDI_SUPPORT
	help
	  In most cases it's enough to treat only ASCII non-letters
	  (i.e. punctuation, numbers and space) as characters
	  with neutral directionality.
	  With this option on, more extensive (and bigger) table
	  of neutral chars will be used.

config UNICODE_PRESERVE_BROKEN
	bool "Make it possible to enter sequences of chars which are not Unicode"
	default n
	depends on UNICODE_SUPPORT
	help
	  With this option on, on line-editing input (such as used by shells)
	  invalid UTF-8 bytes are not substituted with the selected
	  substitution character.
	  For example, this means that entering 'l', 's', ' ', 0xff, [Enter]
	  at shell prompt will list file named 0xff (single char name
	  with char value 255), not file named '?'.

config LONG_OPTS
	bool "Support for --long-options"
	default y
	help
	  Enable this if you want busybox applets to use the gnu --long-option
	  style, in addition to single character -a -b -c style options.

config FEATURE_DEVPTS
	bool "Use the devpts filesystem for Unix98 PTYs"
	default y
	help
	  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 mounted.

config FEATURE_CLEAN_UP
	bool "Clean up all memory before exiting (usually not needed)"
	default n
	help
	  As a size optimization, busybox normally exits without explicitly
	  freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files. This saves
	  space since the OS will clean up for us, but it can confuse debuggers
	  like valgrind, which report tons of memory and resource leaks.

	  Don't enable this unless you have a really good reason to clean
	  things up manually.

config FEATURE_UTMP
	bool "Support utmp file"
	default y
	help
	  The file /var/run/utmp is used to track who is currently logged in.
	  With this option on, certain applets (getty, login, telnetd etc)
	  will create and delete entries there.
	  "who" applet requires this option.

config FEATURE_WTMP
	bool "Support wtmp file"
	default y
	depends on FEATURE_UTMP
	help
	  The file /var/run/wtmp is used to track when users have logged into
	  and logged out of the system.
	  With this option on, certain applets (getty, login, telnetd etc)
	  will append new entries there.
	  "last" applet requires this option.

config FEATURE_PIDFILE
	bool "Support writing pidfiles"
	default y
	help
	  This option makes some applets (e.g. crond, syslogd, inetd) write
	  a pidfile in /var/run. Some applications rely on them.

config FEATURE_SUID
	bool "Support for SUID/SGID handling"
	default y
	help
	  With this option you can install the busybox binary belonging
	  to root with the suid bit set, enabling some applets to perform
	  root-level operations even when run by ordinary users
	  (for example, mounting of user mounts in fstab needs this).

	  Busybox will automatically drop priviledges for applets
	  that don't need root access.

	  If you are really paranoid and don't want to do this, build two
	  busybox binaries with different applets in them (and the appropriate
	  symlinks pointing to each binary), and only set the suid bit on the
	  one that needs it.

	  The applets which require root rights (need suid bit or
	  to be run by root) and will refuse to execute otherwise:
	  crontab, login, passwd, su, vlock, wall.

	  The applets which will use root rights if they have them
	  (via suid bit, or because run by root), but would try to work
	  without root right nevertheless:
	  findfs, ping[6], traceroute[6], mount.

	  Note that if you DONT select this option, but DO make busybox
	  suid root, ALL applets will run under root, which is a huge
	  security hole (think "cp /some/file /etc/passwd").

config FEATURE_SUID_CONFIG
	bool "Runtime SUID/SGID configuration via /etc/busybox.conf"
	default y
	depends on FEATURE_SUID
	help
	  Allow the SUID / SGID state of an applet to be determined at runtime
	  by checking /etc/busybox.conf. (This is sort of a poor man's sudo.)
	  The format of this file is as follows:

	  APPLET = [Ssx-][Ssx-][x-] [USER.GROUP]

	  s: USER or GROUP is allowed to execute APPLET.
	     APPLET will run under USER or GROUP
	     (reagardless of who's running it).
	  S: USER or GROUP is NOT allowed to execute APPLET.
	     APPLET will run under USER or GROUP.
	     This option is not very sensical.
	  x: USER/GROUP/others are allowed to execute APPLET.
	     No UID/GID change will be done when it is run.
	  -: USER/GROUP/others are not allowed to execute APPLET.

	  An example might help:

	  [SUID]
	  su = ssx root.0 # applet su can be run by anyone and runs with
	                  # euid=0/egid=0
	  su = ssx        # exactly the same

	  mount = sx- root.disk # applet mount can be run by root and members
	                        # of group disk (but not anyone else)
	                        # and runs with euid=0 (egid is not changed)

	  cp = --- # disable applet cp for everyone

	  The file has to be owned by user root, group root and has to be
	  writeable only by root:
	        (chown 0.0 /etc/busybox.conf; chmod 600 /etc/busybox.conf)
	  The busybox executable has to be owned by user root, group
	  root and has to be setuid root for this to work:
	        (chown 0.0 /bin/busybox; chmod 4755 /bin/busybox)

config FEATURE_SUID_CONFIG_QUIET
	bool "Suppress warning message if /etc/busybox.conf is not readable"
	default y
	depends on FEATURE_SUID_CONFIG
	help
	  /etc/busybox.conf should be readable by the user needing the SUID,
	  check this option to avoid users to be notified about missing
	  permissions.

config SELINUX
	bool "Support NSA Security Enhanced Linux"
	default n
	select PLATFORM_LINUX
	help
	  Enable support for SELinux in applets ls, ps, and id. Also provide
	  the option of compiling in SELinux applets.

	  If you do not have a complete SELinux userland installed, this stuff
	  will not compile. Go visit
		http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/index.html
	  to download the necessary stuff to allow busybox to compile with
	  this option enabled. Specifially, libselinux 1.28 or better is
	  directly required by busybox. If the installation is located in a
	  non-standard directory, provide it by invoking make as follows:
		CFLAGS=-I<libselinux-include-path> \
		LDFLAGS=-L<libselinux-lib-path> \
		make

	  Most people will leave this set to 'N'.

config FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS
	bool "exec prefers applets"
	default n
	help
	  This is an experimental option which directs applets about to
	  call 'exec' to try and find an applicable busybox applet before
	  searching the PATH. This is typically done by exec'ing
	  /proc/self/exe.
	  This may affect shell, find -exec, xargs and similar applets.
	  They will use applets even if /bin/<applet> -> busybox link
	  is missing (or is not a link to busybox). However, this causes
	  problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc and with ps/top
	  (command name can be shown as 'exe' for applets started this way).

config BUSYBOX_EXEC_PATH
	string "Path to BusyBox executable"
	default "/proc/self/exe"
	help
	  When Busybox applets need to run other busybox applets, BusyBox
	  sometimes needs to exec() itself. When the /proc filesystem is
	  mounted, /proc/self/exe always points to the currently running
	  executable. If you haven't got /proc, set this to wherever you
	  want to run BusyBox from.

# These are auto-selected by other options

config FEATURE_SYSLOG

config STATIC
	bool "Build BusyBox as a static binary (no shared libs)"
	default n
	help
	  If you want to build a static BusyBox binary, which does not
	  use or require any shared libraries, then enable this option.
	  This can cause BusyBox to be considerably larger, so you should
	  leave this option false unless you have a good reason (i.e.
	  your target platform does not support shared libraries, or
	  you are building an initrd which doesn't need anything but
	  BusyBox, etc).

	  Most people will leave this set to 'N'.

config PIE
	bool "Build BusyBox as a position independent executable"
	default n
	depends on !STATIC
	help
	  Hardened code option. PIE binaries are loaded at a different
	  address at each invocation. This has some overhead,
	  particularly on x86-32 which is short on registers.

	  Most people will leave this set to 'N'.

config NOMMU
	bool "Force NOMMU build"
	default n
	help
	  Busybox tries to detect whether architecture it is being
	  built against supports MMU or not. If this detection fails,

config BUILD_LIBBUSYBOX
	bool "Build shared libbusybox"
	default n
	depends on !FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS && !PIE && !STATIC
	help
	  Build a shared library libbusybox.so.N.N.N which contains all
	  busybox code.

	  This feature allows every applet to be built as a tiny
	  separate executable. Enabling it for "one big busybox binary"
	  approach serves no purpose and increases code size.
	  You should almost certainly say "no" to this.

### config FEATURE_FULL_LIBBUSYBOX
###	bool "Feature-complete libbusybox"
###	default n if !FEATURE_SHARED_BUSYBOX
###	depends on BUILD_LIBBUSYBOX
###	help
###	  Build a libbusybox with the complete feature-set, disregarding
###	  the actually selected config.
###
###	  Normally, libbusybox will only contain the features which are
###	  used by busybox itself. If you plan to write a separate
###	  standalone application which uses libbusybox say 'Y'.
###
###	  Note: libbusybox is GPL, not LGPL, and exports no stable API that
###	  might act as a copyright barrier. We can and will modify the
###	  exported function set between releases (even minor version number
###	  changes), and happily break out-of-tree features.
###
###	  Say 'N' if in doubt.

config FEATURE_INDIVIDUAL

	default y
	depends on BUILD_LIBBUSYBOX
	help
	  If your CPU architecture doesn't allow for sharing text/rodata
	  sections of running binaries, but allows for runtime dynamic
	  libraries, this option will allow you to reduce memory footprint
	  when you have many different applets running at once.

	  If your CPU architecture allows for sharing text/rodata,
	  having single binary is more optimal.

	  Each applet will be a tiny program, dynamically linked
	  against libbusybox.so.N.N.N.

	  You need to have a working dynamic linker.

config FEATURE_SHARED_BUSYBOX
	bool "Produce additional busybox binary linked against libbusybox"

	  Build busybox, dynamically linked against libbusybox.so.N.N.N.

	  You need to have a working dynamic linker.

### config BUILD_AT_ONCE
###	bool "Compile all sources at once"
###	default n
###	help
###	  Normally each source-file is compiled with one invocation of
###	  the compiler.
###	  If you set this option, all sources are compiled at once.
###	  This gives the compiler more opportunities to optimize which can
###	  result in smaller and/or faster binaries.
###
###	  Setting this option will consume alot of memory, e.g. if you
###	  enable all applets with all features, gcc uses more than 300MB
###	  RAM during compilation of busybox.
###
###	  This option is most likely only beneficial for newer compilers
###	  such as gcc-4.1 and above.
###
###	  Say 'N' unless you know what you are doing.

config LFS
	bool "Build with Large File Support (for accessing files > 2 GB)"
	default y
	help
	  If you want to build BusyBox with large file support, then enable
	  this option. This will have no effect if your kernel or your C
	  library lacks large file support for large files. Some of the
	  programs that can benefit from large file support include dd, gzip,

	  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.
