53 depends on CONFIG_DEVFSD
55 Increases logging to stderr and syslog.
57 config CONFIG_DEVFSD_DEBUG

76 CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY option)....
78 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_GET_IDENTITY
79 bool " Support obtaining detailed information directly from drives"
81 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
83 Enables the -I and -Istdin options to obtain detailed information
84 directly from drives about their capabilities and supported ATA
85 feature set. Enabling this option will add about 16k...
87 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_SCAN_HWIF
88 bool " Register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
90 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
92 Enables the 'hdparm -R' option to register an IDE interface.
93 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
95 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_UNREGISTER_HWIF
96 bool " Un-register an IDE interface (DANGEROUS)"
98 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
100 Enables the 'hdparm -U' option to un-register an IDE interface.

104 bool " perform device reset (DANGEROUS)"
106 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
108 Enables the 'hdparm -w' option to perform a device reset.
109 This is dangerous stuff, so you should probably say N.
111 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_TRISTATE_HWIF
112 bool " tristate device for hotswap (DANGEROUS)"
114 depends on CONFIG_HDPARM
116 Enables the 'hdparm -x' option to tristate device for hotswap,
117 and the '-b' option to get/set bus state. This is dangerous
118 stuff, so you should probably say N.
120 config CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GETSET_DMA

128 config CONFIG_MAKEDEVS
132 'makedevs' is a utility used and created by the Linux Router Project.

134 rather quickly, and can be considerably faster then running mknod a
141 mt is used to control tape devices. You can use the mt utility
142 to advance or rewind a tape past a specified number of archive
145 config CONFIG_STRINGS
149 strings prints the printable character sequences for each file

157 When the command finishes, time writes a message to standard output
158 giving timing statistics about this program run.
160 config CONFIG_WATCHDOG
164 The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
165 device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
166 and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
167 watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
168 certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
169 hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
