32 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_AR
33 bool "ar"
34 default n
35 help
36 ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
37 extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding
38 a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
39 retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
40 The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
41 and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on
42 extraction.
43
44 The stored filename is limited to 15 characters. (for more information
45 see long filename support).
46 ar has 60 bytes of overheads for every stored file.
47
48 This implementation of ar can extract archives, it cannot create or
49 modify them.
50 On an x86 system, the ar applet adds about 1K.
51
52 Unless you have a specific application which requires ar, you should
53 probably say N here.

60 By default the ar format can only store the first 15 characters of
61 the filename, this option removes that limitation.
62 It supports the GNU ar long filename method which moves multiple long
63 filenames into a the data section of a new ar entry.

68 help
69 bunzip2 is a compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block
70 sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression
71 is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
72 conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the
73 performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.
