Questions tagged [busybox]

BusyBox combines common UNIX utilities into a single, small executable, providing a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded operating system. It supports most of the utilities usually found in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. BusyBox commands 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.
