config SLEEP
bool "sleep"
default n
help
sleep is used to pause for a specified number of seconds.
It comes in 3 versions:
- small: takes one integer parameter
- fancy: takes multiple integer arguments with suffixes:
sleep 1d 2h 3m 15s
- fancy with fractional numbers:
sleep 2.3s 4.5h sleeps for 16202.3 seconds
Last one is "the most compatible" with coreutils sleep,
but it adds around 1k of code.
config FEATURE_FANCY_SLEEP
bool "Enable multiple arguments and s/m/h/d suffixes"
default n
depends on SLEEP
help
Allow sleep to pause for specified minutes, hours, and days.
config FEATURE_FLOAT_SLEEP
bool "Enable fractional arguments"
default n
depends on FEATURE_FANCY_SLEEP
help
Allow for fractional numeric parameters.
config SORT
bool "sort"
default n
help
sort is used to sort lines of text in specified files.
config FEATURE_SORT_BIG
bool "Full SuSv3 compliant sort (support -ktcsbdfiozgM)"
default y
depends on SORT
help
Without this, sort only supports -r, -u, and an integer version
of -n. Selecting this adds sort keys, floating point support, and
more. This adds a little over 3k to a nonstatic build on x86.
The SuSv3 sort standard is available at:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/utilities/sort.html
config SPLIT

default n
help
display file or filesystem status.
config FEATURE_STAT_FORMAT
bool "Enable custom formats (-c)"
default n
depends on STAT
help
Without this, stat will not support the '-c format' option where
users can pass a custom format string for output. This adds about
7k to a nonstatic build on amd64.

default n
help
stty is used to change and print terminal line settings.

from files.
config FEATURE_FANCY_TAIL

default y
depends on TAIL
help
The options (-q, -s, and -v) are provided by GNU tail, but
are not specific in the SUSv3 standard.

tee is used to read from standard input and write
to standard output and files.
config FEATURE_TEE_USE_BLOCK_IO

help
Enable this option for a faster tee, at expense of size.
config TEST
bool "test"
default n
help
test is used to check file types and compare values,
returning an appropriate exit code. The bash shell
has test built in, ash can build it in optionally.

tr [:upper:] [:lower:] to convert input into lowercase.
config FEATURE_TR_EQUIV
bool "Enable equivalence classes"
default n
depends on TR
help
Enable equivalence classes, which essentially add the enclosed
character to the current set. For instance, tr [=a=] xyz would
replace all instances of 'a' with 'xyz'. This option is mainly
useful for cases when no other way of expressing a character
is possible.
config TRUE

help
This option allows utilities such as 'ls', 'more' and 'telnet'
to determine the width of the screen, which can allow them to
display additional text or avoid wrapping text onto the next line.
If you leave this disabled, your utilities will be especially
primitive and will be unable to determine the current screen width.
