8 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ACPID
9 bool "acpid"
10 default n
11 help
12 acpid listens to ACPI events coming either in textual form from
13 /proc/acpi/event (though it is marked deprecated it is still widely
14 used and _is_ a standard) or in binary form from specified evdevs
15 (just use /dev/input/event*).
16
17 It parses the event to retrieve ACTION and a possible PARAMETER.
18 It then spawns /etc/acpi/<ACTION>[/<PARAMETER>] either via run-parts
19 (if the resulting path is a directory) or directly as an executable.
20
21 N.B. acpid relies on run-parts so have the latter installed.

42 help
43 dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. When the
44 Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in
45 the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring
46 buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel
47 ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages
48 are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you

103 help
104 fdflush is only needed when changing media on slightly-broken
105 removable media drives. It is used to make Linux believe that a
106 hardware disk-change switch has been actuated, which causes Linux to
107 forget anything it has cached from the previous media. If you have
108 such a slightly-broken drive, you will need to run fdflush every time
109 you change a disk. Most people have working hardware and can safely
110 leave this disabled.

211 can experience corruption if it is not properly unmounted or if the

400 The mkswap utility is used to configure a file or disk partition as
401 Linux swap space. This allows Linux to use the entire file or
402 partition as if it were additional RAM, which can greatly increase
403 the capability of low-memory machines. This additional memory is
404 much slower than real RAM, but can be very helpful at preventing your

649 All files and filesystems in Unix are arranged into one big directory
650 tree. The 'mount' utility is used to graft a filesystem onto a
651 particular part of the tree. A filesystem can either live on a block
652 device, or it can be accessible over the network, as is the case with
653 NFS filesystems. Most people using BusyBox will also want to enable
654 the 'mount' utility.

808 help
809 The switch_root utility is used from initramfs to select a new
810 root device. Under initramfs, you have to use this instead of
811 pivot_root. (Stop reading here if you don't care why.)
812
813 Booting with initramfs extracts a gzipped cpio archive into rootfs
814 (which is a variant of ramfs/tmpfs). Because rootfs can't be moved
815 or unmounted*, pivot_root will not work from initramfs. Instead,
816 switch_root deletes everything out of rootfs (including itself),
817 does a mount --move that overmounts rootfs with the new root, and
818 then execs the specified init program.

821 and ending point for searching through the kernel's doubly linked
822 list of active mount points. That's why.

847 help
848 Enabling this feature allows automatic mounting of files (containing
849 filesystem images) via the linux kernel's loopback devices.
850 The mount command will detect you are trying to mount a file instead
851 of a block device, and transparently associate the file with a
852 loopback device. The umount command will also free that loopback
853 device.
854
855 You can still use the 'losetup' utility (to manually associate files
856 with loop devices) if you need to do something advanced, such as
857 specify an offset or cryptographic options to the loopback device.
858 (If you don't want umount to free the loop device, use "umount -D".)

864 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FAKE
865 help
866 Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
867 partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
868 the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
869 the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
870 a symlink to /proc/mounts.)
871
872 The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
873 your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
874 If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
875 example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
876 features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
877 that your /etc directory be writeable, tends to get easily confused
878 by --bind or --move mounts, won't update if you rename a directory
879 that contains a mount point, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)
880
881 About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from
882 your kernel.
