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

Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000037 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
38 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
39 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
40 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
41 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
42 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
43 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
44 earlier.

353 dmalloc support:
354 ----------------
Eric Andersenc9f20d92002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000355 This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ )
356 which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem
357 detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will
358 want to properly set your environment, for example:
359 export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile
360 The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command
361 dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space -p log-elapsed-time \
362 -p check-fence -p check-heap -p check-lists -p check-blank \
363 -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy -p allow-free-null

366 -----------------------
Eric Andersenc9f20d92002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000367 This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric
Eric Andersen88c916b2003-10-22 09:58:56 +0000368 fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses
Eric Andersenc7bda1c2004-03-15 08:29:22 +0000369 your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory
370 accesses. This support will make BusyBox be considerable larger
371 and run slower, so you should leave this option disabled unless
Eric Andersenc9f20d92002-12-05 08:41:41 +0000372 you are hunting a hard to find memory problem.
