Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000054 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
55 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
56 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +000057 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000058 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
59 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
60 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
61 earlier.

312 This is an experimental option which directs applets about to
313 call 'exec' to try and find an applicable busybox applet before
Denis Vlasenko92c0b822007-05-08 17:27:17 +0000314 searching the PATH. This is typically done by exec'ing
315 /proc/self/exe.
316 This may affect shell, find -exec, xargs and similar applets.
317 They will use applets even if /bin/<applet> -> busybox link
318 is missing (or is not a link to busybox). However, this causes
319 problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc and with ps/top
