What is ToyBox?

Warning: lots of this page is about what I plan to do, not what I've +already done. See my +development blog.

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.

What is ToyBox?

The project is Licensed under GPL version 2.

The Toybox project is creating simple implementations of all the Linux +command line utilities. Other goals are small size (the produced binaries +should total less than a megabyte, uncompressed), speed of execution, and +correctness of implementation (which is related to standards compliance, but +isn't quite the same thing). +Click for more about the design goals

+ +

Toybox has configurable levels of functionality, and should scale from tiny +embedded systems up to full general purpose desktop and development +environments. The author plans to run it on his laptop, and the +Firmware Linux project is trying to get a complete +Linux system to rebuild itself from source code using toybox.

Toybox 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.
