\& <applet> [arguments...] # if symlinked
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common \s-1UNIX\s0 utilities into a single
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities
you usually find in \s-1GNU\s0 coreutils, util-linux, etc. The utilities in BusyBox
generally have fewer options than their full-featured \s-1GNU\s0 cousins; however, the
options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very
much like their \s-1GNU\s0 counterparts.
.PP
BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.
It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or
features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded
systems. To create a working system, just add /dev, /etc, and a Linux kernel.
BusyBox provides a fairly complete \s-1POSIX\s0 environment for any small or embedded
system.
.PP
BusyBox is extremely configurable. This allows you to include only the
components you need, thereby reducing binary size. Run 'make config' or 'make
menuconfig' to select the functionality that you wish to enable. Then run
\&'make' to compile BusyBox using your configuration.
.PP
After the compile has finished, you should use 'make install' to install
BusyBox. This will install the 'bin/busybox' binary, in the target directory
specified by \s-1CONFIG_PREFIX\s0. \s-1CONFIG_PREFIX\s0 can be set when configuring BusyBox,
or you can specify an alternative location at install time (i.e., with a
command line like 'make CONFIG_PREFIX=/tmp/foo install'). If you enabled
any applet installation scheme (either as symlinks or hardlinks), these will
also be installed in the location pointed to by \s-1CONFIG_PREFIX\s0.
.SH "USAGE"
.IX Header "USAGE"
BusyBox is a multi-call binary. A multi-call binary is an executable program
that performs the same job as more than one utility program. That means there
is just a single BusyBox binary, but that single binary acts like a large
number of utilities. This allows BusyBox to be smaller since all the built-in
utility programs (we call them applets) can share code for many common
operations.
.PP
You can also invoke BusyBox by issuing a command as an argument on the
command line. For example, entering
.PP
.Vb 1
\& /bin/busybox ls
.Ve
.PP
will also cause BusyBox to behave as 'ls'.
.PP
Of course, adding '/bin/busybox' into every command would be painful. So most
people will invoke BusyBox using links to the BusyBox binary.
.PP
For example, entering
.PP
.Vb 2
\& ln \-s /bin/busybox ls
\& ./ls
.Ve
.PP
will cause BusyBox to behave as 'ls' (if the 'ls' command has been compiled
into BusyBox). Generally speaking, you should never need to make all these
links yourself, as the BusyBox build system will do this for you when you run
the 'make install' command.
.PP
If you invoke BusyBox with no arguments, it will provide you with a list of the
applets that have been compiled into your BusyBox binary.
.SH "COMMON OPTIONS"
.IX Header "COMMON OPTIONS"
Most BusyBox applets support the \fB\-\-help\fR argument to provide a terse runtime
description of their behavior. If the \s-1CONFIG_FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE\s0 option has
been enabled, more detailed usage information will also be available.

.IX Header "LIBC NSS"
\&\s-1GNU\s0 Libc (glibc) uses the Name Service Switch (\s-1NSS\s0) to configure the behavior
of the C library for the local environment, and to configure how it reads
system data, such as passwords and group information. This is implemented
using an /etc/nsswitch.conf configuration file, and using one or more of the
/lib/libnss_* libraries. BusyBox tries to avoid using any libc calls that make
use of \s-1NSS\s0. Some applets however, such as login and su, will use libc functions
that require \s-1NSS\s0.
.PP
If you enable \s-1CONFIG_USE_BB_PWD_GRP\s0, BusyBox will use internal functions to
directly access the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow files without
using \s-1NSS\s0. This may allow you to run your system without the need for
installing any of the \s-1NSS\s0 configuration files and libraries.
.PP
When used with glibc, the BusyBox 'networking' applets will similarly require
that you install at least some of the glibc \s-1NSS\s0 stuff (in particular,
/etc/nsswitch.conf, /lib/libnss_dns*, /lib/libnss_files*, and /lib/libresolv*).
.PP
Shameless Plug: As an alternative, one could use a C library such as uClibc. In
addition to making your system significantly smaller, uClibc does not require the
use of any \s-1NSS\s0 support files or libraries.
