- The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux -
- 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 GNU - fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally - have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; - however, the options that are included provide the expected - functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. - BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any - small or embedded system. - -

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 kernel.
