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.

25    This is better than to telling people to edit the busybox source

42  default FEATURE_BUFFERS_USE_MALLOC
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.

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,

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.

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

229    This is an experimental option which directs applets about to

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
