What is ToyBox?

-

Toybox provides simple, small, fast, and correct implementations of all the -standard Linux command line utilities.

- -

Toybox should scale from tiny embedded systems up to general purpose -development environments. We test using it on Android phones in place of -Toolbox, and the Aboriginal Linux project is working -to get a complete Linux system to rebuild itself from source code using -toybox.

- -

Toybox is released under what's been nicknamed a "zero -clause BSD" license, essentially public domain with a liability -disclaimer.

Toybox combines the most common Linux command line utilities together into +a single BSD-licensed executable. It's simple, small, fast, and reasonably +standards-compliant (POSIX-2008 and LSB 4.1).

-

Toybox can be built as a single multicall ("swiss army knife") executable, -or each command can be built as a traditional independent executable.

Toybox's 1.0 release goal is to turn generic Android into a +development environment capable of compiling Linux From Scratch. +A tiny system built from just toybox, linux, a C library, and a C compiler (such as LLVM or +gcc 4.2.1+binutils 2.17) should be +able to rebuild itself from source code without needing any other packages.
