16 bool "Enable options for full-blown desktop systems"
17 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_DESKTOP
19 Enable options and features which are not essential.
20 Select this only if you plan to use busybox on full-blown
21 desktop machine with common Linux distro, not on an embedded box.
23 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_EXTRA_COMPAT
24 bool "Provide compatible behavior for rare corner cases (bigger code)"
25 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_EXTRA_COMPAT
27 This option makes grep, sed etc handle rare corner cases
28 (embedded NUL bytes and such). This makes code bigger and uses
29 some GNU extensions in libc. You probably only need this option
30 if you plan to run busybox on desktop.
32 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INCLUDE_SUSv2
33 bool "Enable obsolete features removed before SUSv3"
34 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_INCLUDE_SUSv2
36 This option will enable backwards compatibility with SuSv2,
37 specifically, old-style numeric options ('command -1 <file>')
38 will be supported in head, tail, and fold. (Note: should
41 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_USE_PORTABLE_CODE
42 bool "Avoid using GCC-specific code constructs"
43 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_USE_PORTABLE_CODE
45 Use this option if you are trying to compile busybox with
46 compiler other than gcc.
47 If you do use gcc, this option may needlessly increase code size.
49 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
50 bool "Enable Linux-specific applets and features"
51 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_PLATFORM_LINUX
53 For the most part, busybox requires only POSIX compatibility
54 from the target system, but some applets and features use
55 Linux-specific interfaces.
57 Answering 'N' here will disable such applets and hide the
58 corresponding configuration options.
61 prompt "Buffer allocation policy"
62 default BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_BUFFERS_GO_ON_STACK
64 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
65 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
66 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
67 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
68 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
69 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
70 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and

85 bool "Show applet usage messages"
86 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_SHOW_USAGE
88 Enabling this option, BusyBox applets will show terse help messages
89 when invoked with wrong arguments.
90 If you do not want to show any (helpful) usage message when
91 issuing wrong command syntax, you can say 'N' here,
92 saving approximately 7k.
94 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE
95 bool "Show verbose applet usage messages"
96 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE
97 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SHOW_USAGE
99 All BusyBox applets will show verbose help messages when
100 busybox is invoked with --help. This will add a lot of text to the
101 busybox binary. In the default configuration, this will add about
102 13k, but it can add much more depending on your configuration.
104 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_COMPRESS_USAGE
105 bool "Store applet usage messages in compressed form"
106 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_COMPRESS_USAGE
107 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SHOW_USAGE
109 Store usage messages in .bz compressed form, uncompress them
110 on-the-fly when <applet> --help is called.
112 If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
113 bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
114 be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
115 and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise,
116 you probably want this.
118 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BUSYBOX
119 bool "Include busybox applet"
120 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_BUSYBOX
122 The busybox applet provides general help regarding busybox and
123 allows the included applets to be listed. It's also required
124 if applet links are to be installed at runtime.
126 If you can live without these features disabling this will save

130 bool "Support --install [-s] to install applet links at runtime"
131 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_INSTALLER
132 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BUSYBOX
134 Enable 'busybox --install [-s]' support. This will allow you to use
135 busybox at runtime to create hard links or symlinks for all the
136 applets that are compiled into busybox.
138 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INSTALL_NO_USR
139 bool "Don't use /usr"
140 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_INSTALL_NO_USR
142 Disable use of /usr. busybox --install and "make install"
143 will install applets only to /bin and /sbin,
144 never to /usr/bin or /usr/sbin.
146 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOCALE_SUPPORT
147 bool "Enable locale support (system needs locale for this to work)"
148 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_LOCALE_SUPPORT
150 Enable this if your system has locale support and you would like
151 busybox to support locale settings.
153 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT
154 bool "Support Unicode"
155 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_UNICODE_SUPPORT
157 This makes various applets aware that one byte is not
158 one character on screen.
160 Busybox aims to eventually work correctly with Unicode displays.
161 Any older encodings are not guaranteed to work.
162 Probably by the time when busybox will be fully Unicode-clean,
163 other encodings will be mainly of historic interest.
165 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_USING_LOCALE
166 bool "Use libc routines for Unicode (else uses internal ones)"
167 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_UNICODE_USING_LOCALE
168 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT && BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LOCALE_SUPPORT
170 With this option on, Unicode support is implemented using libc
171 routines. Otherwise, internal implementation is used.
172 Internal implementation is smaller.
174 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHECK_UNICODE_IN_ENV

176 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_CHECK_UNICODE_IN_ENV
177 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT && !BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_USING_LOCALE
179 With this option on, Unicode support is activated
180 only if locale-related variables have the value of the form
183 Otherwise, Unicode support will be always enabled and active.
185 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SUBST_WCHAR
186 int "Character code to substitute unprintable characters with"
187 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT
188 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_SUBST_WCHAR
190 Typical values are 63 for '?' (works with any output device),
191 30 for ASCII substitute control code,
192 65533 (0xfffd) for Unicode replacement character.
194 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LAST_SUPPORTED_WCHAR
195 int "Range of supported Unicode characters"
196 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT
197 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_LAST_SUPPORTED_WCHAR
199 Any character with Unicode value bigger than this is assumed
200 to be non-printable on output device. Many applets replace
201 such chars with substitution character.
203 The idea is that many valid printable Unicode chars are
204 nevertheless are not displayed correctly. Think about
205 combining charachers, double-wide hieroglyphs, obscure
206 characters in dozens of ancient scripts...
207 Many terminals, terminal emulators, xterms etc will fail
208 to handle them correctly. Choose the smallest value
209 which suits your needs.
213 767 (0x2ff) - there are no combining chars in [0..767] range
214 (the range includes Latin 1, Latin Ext. A and B),
215 code is ~700 bytes smaller for this case.
216 4351 (0x10ff) - there are no double-wide chars in [0..4351] range,
217 code is ~300 bytes smaller for this case.
218 12799 (0x31ff) - nearly all non-ideographic characters are
219 available in [0..12799] range, including
220 East Asian scripts like katakana, hiragana, hangul,
222 0 - off, any valid printable Unicode character will be printed.

225 bool "Allow zero-width Unicode characters on output"
226 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_UNICODE_COMBINING_WCHARS
227 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT
229 With this option off, any Unicode char with width of 0
230 is substituted on output.
232 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_WIDE_WCHARS
233 bool "Allow wide Unicode characters on output"
234 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_UNICODE_WIDE_WCHARS
235 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT
237 With this option off, any Unicode char with width > 1
238 is substituted on output.

241 bool "Bidirectional character-aware line input"
242 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_UNICODE_BIDI_SUPPORT
243 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT && !BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_USING_LOCALE
245 With this option on, right-to-left Unicode characters
246 are treated differently on input (e.g. cursor movement).
248 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_NEUTRAL_TABLE
249 bool "In bidi input, support non-ASCII neutral chars too"
250 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_UNICODE_NEUTRAL_TABLE
251 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_BIDI_SUPPORT
253 In most cases it's enough to treat only ASCII non-letters
254 (i.e. punctuation, numbers and space) as characters
255 with neutral directionality.
256 With this option on, more extensive (and bigger) table
257 of neutral chars will be used.
259 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_PRESERVE_BROKEN
260 bool "Make it possible to enter sequences of chars which are not Unicode"
261 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_UNICODE_PRESERVE_BROKEN
262 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT
264 With this option on, on line-editing input (such as used by shells)
265 invalid UTF-8 bytes are not substituted with the selected
266 substitution character.
267 For example, this means that entering 'l', 's', ' ', 0xff, [Enter]
268 at shell prompt will list file named 0xff (single char name
269 with char value 255), not file named '?'.
271 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PAM
272 bool "Support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules)"
273 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_PAM
275 Use PAM in some busybox applets (currently login and httpd) instead
276 of direct access to password database.
278 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_SENDFILE
279 bool "Use sendfile system call"
280 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_USE_SENDFILE
281 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
283 When enabled, busybox will use the kernel sendfile() function
284 instead of read/write loops to copy data between file descriptors
285 (for example, cp command does this a lot).
286 If sendfile() doesn't work, copying code falls back to read/write
287 loop. sendfile() was originally implemented for faster I/O
288 from files to sockets, but since Linux 2.6.33 it was extended
289 to work for many more file types.
291 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LONG_OPTS
292 bool "Support for --long-options"
293 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_LONG_OPTS
295 Enable this if you want busybox applets to use the gnu --long-option
296 style, in addition to single character -a -b -c style options.
298 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVPTS
299 bool "Use the devpts filesystem for Unix98 PTYs"
300 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_DEVPTS
302 Enable if you want BusyBox to use Unix98 PTY support. If enabled,
303 busybox will use /dev/ptmx for the master side of the pseudoterminal
304 and /dev/pts/<number> for the slave side. Otherwise, BSD style
305 /dev/ttyp<number> will be used. To use this option, you should have
308 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP
309 bool "Clean up all memory before exiting (usually not needed)"
310 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP
312 As a size optimization, busybox normally exits without explicitly
313 freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files. This saves
314 space since the OS will clean up for us, but it can confuse debuggers
315 like valgrind, which report tons of memory and resource leaks.
317 Don't enable this unless you have a really good reason to clean
320 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_UTMP
321 bool "Support utmp file"
322 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_UTMP
324 The file /var/run/utmp is used to track who is currently logged in.
325 With this option on, certain applets (getty, login, telnetd etc)
326 will create and delete entries there.
327 "who" applet requires this option.
329 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_WTMP
330 bool "Support wtmp file"
331 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_WTMP
332 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_UTMP
334 The file /var/run/wtmp is used to track when users have logged into
335 and logged out of the system.
336 With this option on, certain applets (getty, login, telnetd etc)
337 will append new entries there.
338 "last" applet requires this option.
340 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_PIDFILE
341 bool "Support writing pidfiles"
342 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_PIDFILE
344 This option makes some applets (e.g. crond, syslogd, inetd) write
345 a pidfile at the configured PID_FILE_PATH. It has no effect
346 on applets which require pidfiles to run.
348 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PID_FILE_PATH
349 string "Path to directory for pidfile"
350 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_PID_FILE_PATH
351 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_PIDFILE
353 This is the default path where pidfiles are created. Applets which
354 allow you to set the pidfile path on the command line will override
355 this value. The option has no effect on applets that require you to
356 specify a pidfile path.
358 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SUID
359 bool "Support for SUID/SGID handling"
360 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_SUID
362 With this option you can install the busybox binary belonging
363 to root with the suid bit set, enabling some applets to perform
364 root-level operations even when run by ordinary users
365 (for example, mounting of user mounts in fstab needs this).
367 Busybox will automatically drop privileges for applets
368 that don't need root access.
370 If you are really paranoid and don't want to do this, build two
371 busybox binaries with different applets in them (and the appropriate
372 symlinks pointing to each binary), and only set the suid bit on the
375 The applets which require root rights (need suid bit or
376 to be run by root) and will refuse to execute otherwise:
377 crontab, login, passwd, su, vlock, wall.
379 The applets which will use root rights if they have them
380 (via suid bit, or because run by root), but would try to work
381 without root right nevertheless:
382 findfs, ping[6], traceroute[6], mount.
384 Note that if you DONT select this option, but DO make busybox
385 suid root, ALL applets will run under root, which is a huge
386 security hole (think "cp /some/file /etc/passwd").
388 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SUID_CONFIG
389 bool "Runtime SUID/SGID configuration via /etc/busybox.conf"
390 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_SUID_CONFIG
391 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_SUID
393 Allow the SUID / SGID state of an applet to be determined at runtime
394 by checking /etc/busybox.conf. (This is sort of a poor man's sudo.)
395 The format of this file is as follows:
397 APPLET = [Ssx-][Ssx-][x-] [USER.GROUP]
399 s: USER or GROUP is allowed to execute APPLET.
400 APPLET will run under USER or GROUP
401 (reagardless of who's running it).
402 S: USER or GROUP is NOT allowed to execute APPLET.
403 APPLET will run under USER or GROUP.
404 This option is not very sensical.
405 x: USER/GROUP/others are allowed to execute APPLET.
406 No UID/GID change will be done when it is run.
407 -: USER/GROUP/others are not allowed to execute APPLET.
409 An example might help:
412 su = ssx root.0 # applet su can be run by anyone and runs with
414 su = ssx # exactly the same
416 mount = sx- root.disk # applet mount can be run by root and members
417 # of group disk (but not anyone else)
418 # and runs with euid=0 (egid is not changed)
420 cp = --- # disable applet cp for everyone
422 The file has to be owned by user root, group root and has to be
423 writeable only by root:
424 (chown 0.0 /etc/busybox.conf; chmod 600 /etc/busybox.conf)
425 The busybox executable has to be owned by user root, group
426 root and has to be setuid root for this to work:
427 (chown 0.0 /bin/busybox; chmod 4755 /bin/busybox)

446 Enable support for SELinux in applets ls, ps, and id. Also provide
447 the option of compiling in SELinux applets.
449 If you do not have a complete SELinux userland installed, this stuff
450 will not compile. Specifially, libselinux 1.28 or better is
451 directly required by busybox. If the installation is located in a
452 non-standard directory, provide it by invoking make as follows:
453 CFLAGS=-I<libselinux-include-path> \
454 LDFLAGS=-L<libselinux-lib-path> \

459 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS
460 bool "exec prefers applets"
461 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS
463 This is an experimental option which directs applets about to
464 call 'exec' to try and find an applicable busybox applet before
465 searching the PATH. This is typically done by exec'ing
467 This may affect shell, find -exec, xargs and similar applets.
468 They will use applets even if /bin/<applet> -> busybox link
469 is missing (or is not a link to busybox). However, this causes
470 problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc and with ps/top
471 (command name can be shown as 'exe' for applets started this way).
473 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BUSYBOX_EXEC_PATH
474 string "Path to BusyBox executable"
475 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_BUSYBOX_EXEC_PATH
477 When Busybox applets need to run other busybox applets, BusyBox
478 sometimes needs to exec() itself. When the /proc filesystem is
479 mounted, /proc/self/exe always points to the currently running
480 executable. If you haven't got /proc, set this to wherever you
481 want to run BusyBox from.

507 If you want to build a static BusyBox binary, which does not
508 use or require any shared libraries, then enable this option.
509 This can cause BusyBox to be considerably larger, so you should
510 leave this option false unless you have a good reason (i.e.
511 your target platform does not support shared libraries, or
512 you are building an initrd which doesn't need anything but

532 Busybox tries to detect whether architecture it is being
533 built against supports MMU or not. If this detection fails,
534 or if you want to build NOMMU version of busybox for testing,
535 you may force NOMMU build here.

576 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BUILD_LIBBUSYBOX
578 If your CPU architecture doesn't allow for sharing text/rodata
579 sections of running binaries, but allows for runtime dynamic
580 libraries, this option will allow you to reduce memory footprint
581 when you have many different applets running at once.
583 If your CPU architecture allows for sharing text/rodata,
584 having single binary is more optimal.
586 Each applet will be a tiny program, dynamically linked

624 this option. This will have no effect if your kernel or your C
625 library lacks large file support for large files. Some of the
626 programs that can benefit from large file support include dd, gzip,
627 cp, mount, tar, and many others. If you want to access files larger
628 than 2 Gigabytes, enable this option. Otherwise, leave it set to 'N'.
630 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX
631 string "Cross Compiler prefix"
632 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_CROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX
634 If you want to build BusyBox with a cross compiler, then you
635 will need to set this to the cross-compiler prefix, for example,
638 Note that CROSS_COMPILE environment variable or
639 "make CROSS_COMPILE=xxx ..." will override this selection.
641 Native builds leave this empty.
643 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SYSROOT
644 string "Path to sysroot"
645 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_SYSROOT
647 If you want to build BusyBox with a cross compiler, then you
648 might also need to specify where /usr/include and /usr/lib
651 For example, BusyBox can be built against an installed
652 Android NDK, platform version 9, for ARM ABI with
654 CONFIG_SYSROOT=/opt/android-ndk/platforms/android-9/arch-arm
656 Native builds leave this empty.
658 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_EXTRA_CFLAGS
659 string "Additional CFLAGS"
660 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_EXTRA_CFLAGS
662 Additional CFLAGS to pass to the compiler verbatim.
664 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_EXTRA_LDFLAGS
665 string "Additional LDFLAGS"
666 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_EXTRA_LDFLAGS
668 Additional LDFLAGS to pass to the linker verbatim.
670 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_EXTRA_LDLIBS
671 string "Additional LDLIBS"
672 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_EXTRA_LDLIBS
674 Additional LDLIBS to pass to the linker with -l.
678 menu 'Debugging Options'
680 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEBUG
681 bool "Build BusyBox with extra Debugging symbols"
682 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_DEBUG
684 Say Y here if you wish to examine BusyBox internals while applets are
685 running. This increases the size of the binary considerably, and
686 should only be used when doing development. If you are doing
687 development and want to debug BusyBox, answer Y.
689 Most people should answer N.
691 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEBUG_PESSIMIZE
692 bool "Disable compiler optimizations"
693 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_DEBUG_PESSIMIZE
694 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEBUG
696 The compiler's optimization of source code can eliminate and reorder
697 code, resulting in an executable that's hard to understand when
698 stepping through it with a debugger. This switches it off, resulting
699 in a much bigger executable that more closely matches the source
702 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEBUG_SANITIZE
703 bool "Enable runtime sanitizers (ASAN/LSAN/USAN/etc...)"
704 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_DEBUG_SANITIZE
706 Say Y here if you want to enable runtime sanitizers. These help
707 catch bad memory accesses (e.g. buffer overflows), but will make
708 the executable larger and slow down runtime a bit.
710 If you aren't developing/testing busybox, say N here.
712 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UNIT_TEST
713 bool "Build unit tests"
714 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_UNIT_TEST
716 Say Y here if you want to build unit tests (both the framework and
717 test cases) as a Busybox applet. This results in bigger code, so you
718 probably don't want this option in production builds.
720 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_WERROR
721 bool "Abort compilation on any warning"
722 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_WERROR
724 Selecting this will add -Werror to gcc command line.
726 Most people should answer N.
729 prompt "Additional debugging library"
730 default BUSYBOX_CONFIG_NO_DEBUG_LIB
732 Using an additional debugging library will make BusyBox become
733 considerable larger and will cause it to run more slowly. You
734 should always leave this option disabled for production use.
738 This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ )
739 which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem
740 detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will
741 want to properly set your environment, for example:
742 export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile
743 The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command
744 dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space \
745 -p log-elapsed-time -p check-fence -p check-heap \
746 -p check-lists -p check-blank -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy \
749 Electric-fence support:
750 -----------------------
751 This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric
752 fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
753 your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
754 accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
755 and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
756 you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.

778 Choose what kind of links to applets are created by "make install".
780 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INSTALL_APPLET_SYMLINKS
783 Install applets as soft-links to the busybox binary. This needs some
784 free inodes on the filesystem, but might help with filesystem
785 generators that can't cope with hard-links.
787 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_INSTALL_APPLET_HARDLINKS
790 Install applets as hard-links to the busybox binary. This might
791 count on a filesystem with few inodes.
