NAME

       BusyBox - The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux

SYNTAX

        busybox <applet> [arguments...]  # or

        <applet> [arguments...]            # if symlinked

DESCRIPTION

       BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
       single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most
       of the utilities you usually find in GNU coreutils, util-linux, 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 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
       POSIX environment for any small or embedded system.

       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.

       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 CONFIG_PREFIX. CONFIG_PREFIX 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 CONFIG_PREFIX.

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.

       You can also invoke BusyBox by issuing a command as an argument on the
       command line.  For example, entering

               /bin/busybox ls

       will also cause BusyBox to behave as 'ls'.

       Of course, adding '/bin/busybox' into every command would be painful.
       So most people will invoke BusyBox using links to the BusyBox binary.

       For example, entering

               ln -s /bin/busybox ls
               ./ls

       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.

       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.

COMMON OPTIONS

       Most BusyBox applets support the --help argument to provide a terse
       runtime description of their behavior.  If the
       CONFIG_FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE option has been enabled, more detailed
       usage information will also be available.

                   ARG1 < ARG2     1 if ARG1 is less than ARG2, else 0. Similarly:
                   ARG1 <= ARG2

                   (EXPRESSION)            Value of EXPRESSION

           Beware that many operators need to be escaped or quoted for shells.
           Comparisons are arithmetic if both ARGs are numbers, else
           lexicographical. Pattern matches return the string matched between
           \( and \) or null; if \( and \) are not used, they return the
           number of characters matched or 0.

                   -r, --receive-slave     Create a receive-only slave" */

           Example:

                   To create a bond device, simply follow these three steps:
                   - ensure that the required drivers are properly loaded:
                     # modprobe bonding ; modprobe <3c59x|eepro100|pcnet32|tulip|...>
                   - assign an IP address to the bond device:
                     # ifconfig bond0 <addr> netmask <mask> broadcast <bcast>
                   - attach all the interfaces you need to the bond device:
                     # ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1 eth2
                     If bond0 didn't have a MAC address, it will take eth0's. Then, all
                     interfaces attached AFTER this assignment will get the same MAC addr.

                     To detach a dead interface without setting the bond device down:
                     # ifenslave -d bond0 eth1

                     To set the bond device down and automatically release all the slaves:
                     # ifconfig bond0 down

                     To change active slave:
                     # ifenslave -c bond0 eth0

       init
           init

           Init is the parent of all processes

           This version of init is designed to be run only by the kernel.

           BusyBox init doesn't support multiple runlevels. The runlevels
           field of the /etc/inittab file is completely ignored by BusyBox
           init. If you want runlevels, use sysvinit.

           BusyBox init works just fine without an inittab. If no inittab is
           found, it has the following default behavior:

                   ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
                   ::askfirst:/bin/sh
                   ::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
                   ::shutdown:/sbin/swapoff -a
                   ::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r
                   ::restart:/sbin/init

           if it detects that /dev/console is _not_ a serial console, it will
           also run:

                   tty2::askfirst:/bin/sh
                   tty3::askfirst:/bin/sh
                   tty4::askfirst:/bin/sh

           If you choose to use an /etc/inittab file, the inittab entry format
           is as follows:

                   <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>

                   <id>:

                           WARNING: This field has a non-traditional meaning for BusyBox init!
                           The id field is used by BusyBox init to specify the controlling tty for
                           the specified process to run on. The contents of this field are
                           appended to "/dev/" and used as-is. There is no need for this field to
                           be unique, although if it isn't you may have strange results. If this
                           field is left blank, the controlling tty is set to the console. Also
                           note that if BusyBox detects that a serial console is in use, then only
                           entries whose controlling tty is either the serial console or /dev/null
                           will be run. BusyBox init does nothing with utmp. We don't need no
                           stinkin' utmp.

                   <runlevels>:

                           The runlevels field is completely ignored.

                   <action>:

                           Valid actions include: sysinit, respawn, askfirst, wait,
                           once, restart, ctrlaltdel, and shutdown.

                           The available actions can be classified into two groups: actions
                           that are run only once, and actions that are re-run when the specified
                           process exits.

                           Run only-once actions:

                                   'sysinit' is the first item run on boot. init waits until all
                                   sysinit actions are completed before continuing. Following the
                                   completion of all sysinit actions, all 'wait' actions are run.
                                   'wait' actions, like 'sysinit' actions, cause init to wait until
                                   the specified task completes. 'once' actions are asynchronous,
                                   therefore, init does not wait for them to complete. 'restart' is
                                   the action taken to restart the init process. By default this should
                                   simply run /sbin/init, but can be a script which runs pivot_root or it
                                   can do all sorts of other interesting things. The 'ctrlaltdel' init
                                   actions are run when the system detects that someone on the system
                                   console has pressed the CTRL-ALT-DEL key combination. Typically one
                                   wants to run 'reboot' at this point to cause the system to reboot.
                                   Finally the 'shutdown' action specifies the actions to taken when
                                   init is told to reboot. Unmounting filesystems and disabling swap
                                   is a very good here.

                           Run repeatedly actions:

                                   'respawn' actions are run after the 'once' actions. When a process
                                   started with a 'respawn' action exits, init automatically restarts
                                   it. Unlike sysvinit, BusyBox init does not stop processes from
                                   respawning out of control. The 'askfirst' actions acts just like
                                   respawn, except that before running the specified process it
                                   displays the line "Please press Enter to activate this console."
                                   and then waits for the user to press enter before starting the
                                   specified process.

                           Unrecognized actions (like initdefault) will cause init to emit an
                           error message, and then go along with its business. All actions are
                           run in the order they appear in /etc/inittab.

                   <process>:

                           Specifies the process to be executed and its command line.

           Example /etc/inittab file:

                   # This is run first except when booting in single-user mode
                   #
                   ::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS

                   # /bin/sh invocations on selected ttys
                   #
                   # Start an "askfirst" shell on the console (whatever that may be)
                   ::askfirst:-/bin/sh
                   # Start an "askfirst" shell on /dev/tty2-4
                   tty2::askfirst:-/bin/sh
                   tty3::askfirst:-/bin/sh
                   tty4::askfirst:-/bin/sh

                   # /sbin/getty invocations for selected ttys
                   #
                   tty4::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4

       inotifyd
           inotifyd   PROG FILE1[:MASK] ...

           Run PROG on filesystem changes.  When a filesystem event matching
           MASK occurs on FILEn, PROG <actual_event(s)> <FILEn>
           [<subfile_name>] is run.  Events:

                   a       File is accessed
                   c       File is modified
                   e       Metadata changed
                   w       Writtable file is closed
                   0       Unwrittable file is closed
                   r       File is opened
                   D       File is deleted
                   M       File is moved
                   u       Backing fs is unmounted
                   o       Event queue overflowed
                   x       File can't be watched anymore
           If watching a directory:

                   m       Subfile is moved into dir
                   y       Subfile is moved out of dir
                   n       Subfile is created
                   d       Subfile is deleted

           inotifyd waits for PROG to exit.  When x event happens for all
           FILEs, inotifyd exits

       md5sum

       mdev
           mdev       [-s]

                   -s      Scan /sys and populate /dev during system boot

           It can be run by kernel as a hotplug helper. To activate it:

            echo /bin/mdev >/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
           It uses /etc/mdev.conf with lines
           [-]DEVNAME UID:GID PERM [>|=PATH] [@|$|*PROG]

                    The mdev config file contains lines that look like:
             hd[a-z][0-9]* 0:3 660

           That's device name (with regex match), uid:gid, and permissions.

           Optionally, that can be followed (on the same line) by a special
           character and a command line to run after creating/before deleting
           the corresponding device(s). The environment variable $MDEV
           indicates the active device node (which is useful if it's a regex
           match). For example:

             hdc root:cdrom 660  *ln -s $MDEV cdrom

           The special characters are @ (run after creating), $ (run before
           deleting), and * (run both after creating and before deleting). The
           commands run in the /dev directory, and use system() which calls
           /bin/sh.

           Config file parsing stops on the first matching line. If no config
           entry is matched, devices are created with default 0:0 660. (Make
           the last line match .* to override this.)

       modprobe
           modprobe   [-knqrsv] MODULE [symbol=value...]

           Options:

                   -k      Make module autoclean-able
                   -n      Dry run
                   -q      Quiet

                   -s      Report via syslog instead of stderr
                   -v      Verbose
                   -b      Apply blacklist to module names too

           modprobe can (un)load a stack of modules, passing each module
           options (when loading). modprobe uses a configuration file to
           determine what option(s) to pass each module it loads.

           The configuration file is searched (in this order):

               /etc/modprobe.conf (2.6 only)
               /etc/modules.conf
               /etc/conf.modules (deprecated)

           They all have the same syntax (see below). If none is present, it
           is _not_ an error; each loaded module is then expected to load
           without options. Once a file is found, the others are tested for.

           /etc/modules.conf entry format:

             alias <alias_name> <mod_name>
               Makes it possible to modprobe alias_name, when there is no such module.
               It makes sense if your mod_name is long, or you want a more representative
               name for that module (eg. 'scsi' in place of 'aha7xxx').
               This makes it also possible to use a different set of options (below) for
               the module and the alias.
               A module can be aliased more than once.

             options <mod_name|alias_name> <symbol=value...>
               When loading module mod_name (or the module aliased by alias_name), pass
               the "symbol=value" pairs as option to that module.

           Sample /etc/modules.conf file:

             options tulip irq=3
             alias tulip tulip2
             options tulip2 irq=4 io=0x308

           Other functionality offered by 'classic' modprobe is not available
           in this implementation.

           If module options are present both in the config file, and on the
           command line, then the options from the command line will be passed
           to the module _after_ the options from the config file. That way,
           you can have defaults in the config file, and override them for a
           specific usage from the command line.

           Example:

                   (with the above /etc/modules.conf):

                   $ modprobe tulip
                      will load the module 'tulip' with default option 'irq=3'

                   $ modprobe tulip irq=5
                      will load the module 'tulip' with option 'irq=5', thus overriding the default

                   $ modprobe tulip2
                      will load the module 'tulip' with default options 'irq=4 io=0x308',
                      which are the default for alias 'tulip2'

                   $ modprobe tulip2 irq=8
                      will load the module 'tulip' with default options 'irq=4 io=0x308 irq=8',
                      which are the default for alias 'tulip2' overridden by the option 'irq=8'

                      from the command line

                   $ modprobe tulip2 irq=2 io=0x210
                      will load the module 'tulip' with default options 'irq=4 io=0x308 irq=4 io=0x210',
                      which are the default for alias 'tulip2' overridden by the options 'irq=2 io=0x210'

                      from the command line

LIBC NSS

       GNU Libc (glibc) uses the Name Service Switch (NSS) 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 NSS.  Some applets however,
       such as login and su, will use libc functions that require NSS.

       If you enable CONFIG_USE_BB_PWD_GRP, BusyBox will use internal
       functions to directly access the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and
       /etc/shadow files without using NSS.  This may allow you to run your
       system without the need for installing any of the NSS configuration
       files and libraries.

       When used with glibc, the BusyBox 'networking' applets will similarly
       require that you install at least some of the glibc NSS stuff (in
       particular, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /lib/libnss_dns*, /lib/libnss_files*,
       and /lib/libresolv*).

       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 NSS support files or libraries.
