   BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
   small executable.  It provides minimalist replacements for most of the

-  inetutils, modutils, net-tools, procps, sed, shadow, sysklogd, sysvinit, tar,

-  their full-featured cousins; however, the options that are included provide
-  the expected functionality and behave very much like their larger
