248 There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface
249 as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
250 .
251 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
252 devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
253 e.g. /dev/hda[0-9]
254 Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
255 .
256 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
257 a batch of unrelated devices to be made with one command.
258 User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid.

308 It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files
309 or executables before they are used. When used at the right time
310 (in particular when a CPU boundprocess is running) it can
311 significantly speed up system startup.
