What is ToyBox?

+ +

Toybox aims to implement all the Linux command line utilities in under one +megabyte. This project aims for small, simple, and efficient implementations, +with configurable levels of functionality. It should scale from tiny embedded +systems up to full fledged desktop and development environments.

+ +

The project is Licensed under GPL version 2.

+ +

Toybox can be built as a single "swiss army knife" executable (ala BusyBox +or Red Hat's Nash), or each command can be built as a traditional independent +executable.

+ +

Which commands are planned?

+ +

Relevant Standards

 + +

Most commands are implemented according to +The +Single Unix Specification version 3. This does not mean that Toybox is +implementing every SUSv3 utility: some such as SCCS and ed are obsolete, while +others such as c99 are outside the scope of the project. Toybox also isn't +implementing full internationalization support: it should be 8-bit clean and +handle UTF-8, but otherwise we leave this to X11 and higher layers.

+ +

The other major sources of commands are the Linux man pages, and testing +the behavior of existing commands (although not generally looking at their +source code).

+ +

Command Shell

 +

The Toybox Shell aims to be a reasonable bash replacement. It implements +the "sh" and "toysh" commands, plus the built-in commands "cd" and "exit". +The following additional commands may be built into the shell (but not as +separate executables): cd, exit, if, while, for, function, fg, bg, jobs, source, +alias, +export, set, unset, read, trap, and exec.

+ +

General Purpose Commands:

 + +

[TODO]

+ +

Development tools:

 + +

Commands: ar, make [TODO]

+ +

What commands are implemented?

 + +

Toybox is a work in progress, and nowhere near a 1.0 release. The first +commit was September 27, 2006, and work is ongoing.

+ +

Partial (in progress): sh/toysh (cd, exit), df, which.

+ +

Complete: hello, pwd.
