It provides replacements for most of the utilities you 7usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox 8generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, 9the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave 10very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete 11environment for any small or embedded system.</p> 12 13<p>BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in 14mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude 15commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize 16your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add some device 17nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.</p> 18 19<p>BusyBox is maintained by 20<a href="mailto:vda.linux@googlemail.com">Denis Vlasenko</a>, 21and licensed under the <a href="/license.html">GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</a> 22version 2.</p> 23 24<!--#include file="footer.html" --> 25
