9 bool "dmesg"
10 default y
11 help
12 dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. When the
13 Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in
14 the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring
15 buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel
16 ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages
17 are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you
18 wish to enable the 'dmesg' utility.

45 fbset is used to show or change the settings of a Linux frame buffer

69 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FDFLUSH
70 bool "fdflush"
71 default n
72 help
73 fdflush is only needed when changing media on slightly-broken
74 removable media drives. It is used to make Linux believe that a
75 hardware disk-change switch has been actuated, which causes Linux to
76 forget anything it has cached from the previous media. If you have
77 such a slightly-broken drive, you will need to run fdflush every time
78 you change a disk. Most people have working hardware and can safely
79 leave this disabled.

149 Enabling this option allows you to do terribly unsafe things like
150 define arbitrary drive geometry, move the beginning of data in a
151 partition, and similarly evil things. Unless you have a very good
152 reason you would be wise to leave this disabled.

169 Linux allows you to create ramdisks. This utility allows you to
170 delete them and completely free all memory that was used for the
171 ramdisk. For example, if you boot Linux into a ramdisk and later
172 pivot_root, you may want to free the memory that is allocated to the
173 ramdisk. If you have no use for freeing memory from a ramdisk, leave
174 this disabled.

180 The minix filesystem is a nice, small, compact, read-write filesystem
181 with little overhead. It is not a journaling filesystem however and
182 can experience corruption if it is not properly unmounted or if the
183 power goes off in the middle of a write. This utility allows you to
184 check for and attempt to repair any corruption that occurs to a minix
185 filesystem.

209 default n
210 help
211 The getopt utility is used to break up (parse) options in command
212 lines to make it easy to write complex shell scripts that also check
213 for legal (and illegal) options. If you want to write horribly
214 complex shell scripts, or use some horribly complex shell script
215 written by others, this utility may be for you. Most people will

361 the capability of low-memory machines. This additional memory is
362 much slower than real RAM, but can be very helpful at preventing your

640 Enable mounting of virtual file systems via external helpers.
641 E.g. "mount obexfs#-b00.11.22.33.44.55 /mnt" will in effect call
642 "obexfs -b00.11.22.33.44.55 /mnt"
643 Also "mount -t sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" will try
644 "sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" if simple mount syscall fails.

765 The switch_root utility is used from initramfs to select a new
766 root device. Under initramfs, you have to use this instead of
767 pivot_root. (Stop reading here if you don't care why.)
768
769 Booting with initramfs extracts a gzipped cpio archive into rootfs
770 (which is a variant of ramfs/tmpfs). Because rootfs can't be moved
771 or unmounted*, pivot_root will not work from initramfs. Instead,
772 switch_root deletes everything out of rootfs (including itself),
773 does a mount --move that overmounts rootfs with the new root, and
774 then execs the specified init program.
775
776 * Because the Linux kernel uses rootfs internally as the starting
777 and ending point for searching through the kernel's doubly linked
778 list of active mount points. That's why.

803 help
804 Enabling this feature allows automatic mounting of files (containing
805 filesystem images) via the linux kernel's loopback devices.
806 The mount command will detect you are trying to mount a file instead
807 of a block device, and transparently associate the file with a
808 loopback device. The umount command will also free that loopback
809 device.
810
811 You can still use the 'losetup' utility (to manually associate files
812 with loop devices) if you need to do something advanced, such as
813 specify an offset or cryptographic options to the loopback device.
814 (If you don't want umount to free the loop device, use "umount -D".)

820 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FAKE
821 help
822 Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
823 partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
824 the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
825 the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
826 a symlink to /proc/mounts.)
827
828 The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
829 your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
830 If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
831 example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
832 features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
833 that your /etc directory be writeable, tends to get easily confused
834 by --bind or --move mounts, won't update if you rename a directory
835 that contains a mount point, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)
836
837 About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from
838 your kernel.
