The ash code will be built into busybox. If you don't select "ash" choice (CONFIG_ASH), this shell may only be invoked by the name 'sh' (and not 'ash'). config SH_IS_HUSH bool "hush" select SHELL_HUSH help Choose hush to be the shell executed by 'sh' name. The hush code will be built into busybox. If you don't select "hush" choice (CONFIG_HUSH), this shell may only be invoked by the name 'sh' (and not 'hush'). config SH_IS_NONE bool "none" endchoice choice prompt "Choose which shell is aliased to 'bash' name" default BASH_IS_NONE help Choose which shell you want to be executed by 'bash' alias. The ash shell is the most bash compatible and full featured one, although compatibility is far from being complete. Note that selecting this option does not switch on any bash compatibility code. It merely makes it possible to install /bin/bash (sym)link and run scripts which start with #!/bin/bash line. Many systems use it in scripts which use bash-specific features, even simple ones like $RANDOM. Without this option, busybox can't be used for running them because it won't recongnize "bash" as a supported applet name. config BASH_IS_ASH depends on !NOMMU bool "ash" select SHELL_ASH help Choose ash to be the shell executed by 'bash' name. The ash code will be built into busybox. If you don't select "ash" choice (CONFIG_ASH), this shell may only be invoked by the name 'bash' (and not 'ash'). config BASH_IS_HUSH bool "hush" select SHELL_HUSH help Choose hush to be the shell executed by 'bash' name. The hush code will be built into busybox. If you don't select "hush" choice (CONFIG_HUSH), this shell may only be invoked by the name 'bash' (and not 'hush'). config BASH_IS_NONE bool "none" endchoice INSERT comment "Options common to all shells" if SHELL_ASH || SHELL_HUSH config FEATURE_SH_MATH bool "POSIX math support" default y depends on SHELL_ASH || SHELL_HUSH help Enable math support in the shell via $((...)) syntax. config FEATURE_SH_MATH_64 bool "Extend POSIX math support to 64 bit" default y depends on FEATURE_SH_MATH help Enable 64-bit math support in the shell. This will make the shell slightly larger, but will allow computation with very large numbers. This is not in POSIX, so do not rely on this in portable code. config FEATURE_SH_MATH_BASE bool "Support BASE#nnnn literals" default y depends on FEATURE_SH_MATH config FEATURE_SH_EXTRA_QUIET bool "Hide message on interactive shell startup" default y depends on SHELL_ASH || SHELL_HUSH help Remove the busybox introduction when starting a shell. config FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE bool "Standalone shell" default n depends on SHELL_ASH || SHELL_HUSH help This option causes busybox shells to use busybox applets in preference to executables in the PATH whenever possible. For example, entering the command 'ifconfig' into the shell would cause busybox to use the ifconfig busybox applet. Specifying the fully qualified executable name, such as '/sbin/ifconfig' will still execute the /sbin/ifconfig executable on the filesystem. This option is generally used when creating a statically linked version of busybox for use as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your system. This is implemented by re-execing /proc/self/exe (typically) with right parameters. However, there are drawbacks: it is problematic in chroot jails without mounted /proc, and ps/top may show command name as 'exe' for applets started this way. config FEATURE_SH_NOFORK bool "Run 'nofork' applets directly" default n depends on SHELL_ASH || SHELL_HUSH help This option causes busybox shells to not execute typical fork/exec/wait sequence, but call _main directly, if possible. (Sometimes it is not possible: for example, this is not possible in pipes). This will be done only for some applets (those which are marked NOFORK in include/applets.h). This may significantly speed up some shell scripts. This feature is relatively new. Use with care. Report bugs to project mailing list. config FEATURE_SH_READ_FRAC bool "read -t N.NNN support (+110 bytes)" default y depends on SHELL_ASH || SHELL_HUSH help Enable support for fractional second timeout in read builtin. config FEATURE_SH_HISTFILESIZE bool "Use $HISTFILESIZE" default y depends on SHELL_ASH || SHELL_HUSH help This option makes busybox shells to use $HISTFILESIZE variable to set shell history size. Note that its max value is capped by "History size" setting in library tuning section. config FEATURE_SH_EMBEDDED_SCRIPTS bool "Embed scripts in the binary" default y depends on SHELL_ASH || SHELL_HUSH help Allow scripts to be compressed and embedded in the busybox binary. The scripts should be placed in the 'embed' directory at build time. Like applets, scripts can be run as 'busybox SCRIPT ...' or by linking their name to the binary. This also allows applets to be implemented as scripts: place the script in 'applets_sh' and a stub C file containing configuration in the appropriate subsystem directory. endif # Options common to all shells endmenu
