20	  Some BusyBox applets have more configuration options than anyone
21	  will ever care about.  To avoid drowining people in complexity, most
22	  of the applet features that can be set to a sane default value are
23	  hidden, unless you hit the above switch.

26	  code, but not by much.

43	depends on NITPICK
44	help
45	  There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
46	  - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
47	  - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
48	    space, this can be deadly.  For most folks, this works just fine.
49	  - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
50	    MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
51	    behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
52	    earlier.

91
92	  If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
93	  bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
94	  be noticeable.  Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
95	  and have very little memory, this might not be a win.  Otherwise,

132	default n
133	depends on NITPICK
134	help
135	  As a size optimization, busybox normally exits without explicitly
136	  freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files.  This saves
137	  space since the OS will clean up for us, but it can confuse debuggers
138	  like valgrind, which report tons of memory and resource leaks.

155	  to root with the suid bit set, and it'll and it'll automatically drop
156	  priviledges for applets that don't need root access.
157
158	  If you're really paranoid and don't want to do this, build two
159	  busybox binaries with different applets in them (and the appropriate
160	  symlinks pointing to each binary), and only set the suid bit on the
161	  one that needs it.  The applets currently marked to need the suid bit
162	  are login, passwd, su, ping, traceroute, crontab, dnsd, ipcrm, ipcs,

229	  This is an experimental option which directs applets about to
230	  call 'exec' to try and find an applicable busybox applet before
231	  searching the PATH. This is typically done by exec'ing
232	  /proc/self/exe.
233	  This may affect shell, find -exec, xargs and similar applets.
234	  They will use applets even if /bin/<applet> -> busybox link
235	  is missing (or is not a link to busybox). However, this causes
236	  problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc and with ps/top
