256	  .
257	  'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
258	  devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
259	  e.g. /dev/hda[0-9]
260	  Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
261	  .
262	  'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
263	  a batch of unrelated devices to be made with one command.
264	  User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid.

305	  Preload the files listed on the command line into RAM cache so that
306	  subsequent reads on these files will not block on disk I/O.
307
308	  This applet just calls the readahead(2) system call on each file.
309	  It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files
310	  or executables before they are used.  When used at the right time
311	  (in particular when a CPU boundprocess is running) it can
312	  significantly speed up system startup.
313

315	  run this applet as a background job.

380	help
381	  The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
382	  device drivers.  It opens the specified watchdog device special file
383	  and periodically writes a magic character to the device.  If the
384	  watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
385	  certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
