| This is obsolete and will be going away at the end of 2008.. |
| |
| This tells busybox to look for names like /dev/loop/0 instead of |

| config CONFIG_MAKEDEVS |
| bool "makedevs" |
| default n |
| help |
| 'makedevs' is a utility used to create a batch of devices with |
| one command. |
| . |
| There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface |
| as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file. |
| . |
| 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple |
| devices of a particluar type to be created per command. |
| e.g. /dev/hda[0-9] |
| Device properties are passed as command line arguments. |
| . |
| 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing |
| a batch of unrelated devices to be made with one command. |
| User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid. |

| config CONFIG_READAHEAD |
| bool "readahead" |
| default n |
| help |
| Preload the files listed on the command line into RAM cache so that |
| subsequent reads on these files will not block on disk I/O. |
| |
| This applet just calls the readahead(2) system call on each file. |
| It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files |
| or executables before they are used. When used at the right time |
| (in particular when a CPU boundprocess is running) it can |
| significantly speed up system startup. |
| |
| As readahead(2) blocks until each file has been read, it is best to |
| run this applet as a background job. |
| |
| config CONFIG_RUNLEVEL |
| bool "runlevel" |
| default n |
| help |
| find the current and previous system runlevel. |
| |
| This applet uses utmp but does not rely on busybox supporing |

| config CONFIG_WATCHDOG |
| bool "watchdog" |
| default n |
| help |
| The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog |
| device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file |
| and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the |
| watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a |
| certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has |
| hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot. |
