  19           Some BusyBox applets have more configuration options than anyone
  20           will ever care about.  To avoid drowining people in complexity, most
  21           of the applet features that can be set to a sane default value are
  22           hidden, unless you hit the above switch.
  23
  24           This is better than to telling people to edit the busybox source
  25           code, but not by much.

  43         help
  44           There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
  45           - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
  46           - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
  47             space, this can be deadly.  For most folks, this works just fine.
  48           - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
  49             MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
  50             behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and

  91           If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
  92           bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
  93           be noticeable.  Also, if you run executables directly from ROM

 135           freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files.  This saves
 136           space since the OS will clean up for us, but it can confuse debuggers
 137           like valgrind, which report tons of memory and resource leaks.

 390         help
 391           Using an additional debugging library will make BusyBox become
 392           considerable larger and will cause it to run more slowly.  You
 393           should always leave this option disabled for production use.

 395           dmalloc support:
 396           ----------------
 397           This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ )
 398           which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem
 399           detector.  To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will
 400           want to properly set your environment, for example:
 401             export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile
 402           The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command
 403             dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space -p log-elapsed-time \
 404                -p check-fence -p check-heap -p check-lists -p check-blank \
 405                -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy -p allow-free-null
 406
 407           Electric-fence support:
 408           -----------------------
 409           This enables compiling with Electric-fence support.  Electric
 410           fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
 411           your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
 412           accesses.  This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
 413           and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
 414           you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.
