BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the
- utilities you usually find in bzip2, coreutils, e2fsprogs, file, findutils,
- gawk, grep, inetutils, less, modutils, net-tools, procps, sed, shadow,
- sysklogd, sysvinit, tar, util-linux, and vim. The utilities in BusyBox
- often have fewer options than their full-featured cousins; however, the
- options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave
- very much like their larger counterparts.

BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in
mind, both to produce small binaries and to reduce run-time memory usage.
