+ usage: toybox [--long | --help | --version | [command] [arguments...]]
With no arguments, shows available commands. First argument is
name of a command to run, followed by any arguments to that command.
--long Show path to each command
- --version Show toybox version
To install command symlinks, try:
for i in $(/bin/toybox --long); do ln -s /bin/toybox $i; done
+ Most toybox commands also understand the following arguments:
+
+ --help Show command help (only)
+ --version Show toybox version (only)
+
+ The filename "-" means stdin, "--" stops argument parsing,
+ and numerical arguments accept a single letter suffix for
+ kilo, mega, giga, tera, peta, and exabytes, plus an additional
+ "d" to indicate decimal 1000's instead of 1024.
