config ADJTIMEX
	bool "adjtimex"
	default n
	help
	  Adjtimex reads and optionally sets adjustment parameters for
	  the Linux clock adjustment algorithm.

config BBCONFIG
	bool "bbconfig"
	default n
	help
	  The bbconfig applet will print the config file with which
	  busybox was built.

config CHAT
	bool "chat"
	default n
	help
	  Simple chat utility.

config FEATURE_CHAT_NOFAIL
	bool "Enable NOFAIL expect strings"
	depends on CHAT
	default y
	help
	  When enabled expect strings which are started with a dash trigger
	  no-fail mode. That is when expectation is not met within timeout
	  the script is not terminated but sends next SEND string and waits
	  for next EXPECT string. This allows to compose far more flexible
	  scripts.

config FEATURE_CHAT_TTY_HIFI
	bool "Force STDIN to be a TTY"
	depends on CHAT
	default n
	help
	  Original chat always treats STDIN as a TTY device and sets for it
	  so-called raw mode. This option turns on such behaviour.

config FEATURE_CHAT_IMPLICIT_CR
	bool "Enable implicit Carriage Return"
	depends on CHAT
	default y
	help
	  When enabled make chat to terminate all SEND strings with a "\r"
	  unless "\c" is met anywhere in the string.

config FEATURE_CHAT_SWALLOW_OPTS
	bool "Swallow options"
	depends on CHAT
	default n
	help
	  Busybox chat require no options. To make it not fail when used
	  in place of original chat (which has a bunch of options) turn
	  this on.

config FEATURE_CHAT_SEND_ESCAPES
	bool "Support weird SEND escapes"
	depends on CHAT
	default n
	help
	  Original chat uses some escape sequences in SEND arguments which
	  are not sent to device but rather performs special actions.
	  E.g. "\K" means to send a break sequence to device.
	  "\d" delays execution for a second, "\p" -- for a 1/100 of second.
	  Before turning this option on think twice: do you really need them?

config FEATURE_CHAT_VAR_ABORT_LEN

	depends on CHAT
	default n
	help
	  Original chat uses fixed 50-bytes length ABORT conditions. Say N here.

	select FEATURE_SYSLOG
	help
	  Crond is a background daemon that parses individual crontab
	  files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question.
	  This is a port of dcron from slackware. It uses files of the
	  format /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> files, for example:
	      $ cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

	  Note that Busybox binary must be setuid root for this applet to
	  work properly.

	  "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE",
	  "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE",

config FEATURE_DEVFS
	bool "Use devfs names for all devices (obsolete)"
	default n
	help
	  This is obsolete and will be going away at the end of 2008..

	  This tells busybox to look for names like /dev/loop/0 instead of
	  /dev/loop0. If your /dev directory has normal names instead of
	  devfs names, you don't want this.

	help
	  'makedevs' is a utility used to create a batch of devices with
	  one command.
	  .
	  There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface
	  as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file.
	  .
	  'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple
	  devices of a particluar type to be created per command.
	  e.g. /dev/hda[0-9]
	  Device properties are passed as command line arguments.
	  .
	  'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing
	  a batch of unrelated devices to be made with one command.
	  User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid.

config READAHEAD

	default n
	depends on LFS
	help
	  Preload the files listed on the command line into RAM cache so that
	  subsequent reads on these files will not block on disk I/O.

	  This applet just calls the readahead(2) system call on each file.
	  It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files
	  or executables before they are used. When used at the right time
	  (in particular when a CPU bound process is running) it can
	  significantly speed up system startup.

	  As readahead(2) blocks until each file has been read, it is best to
	  run this applet as a background job.

config RUNLEVEL
	bool "runlevel"
	default n
	help
	  find the current and previous system runlevel.

	  This applet uses utmp but does not rely on busybox supporing

	default y
	depends on TASKSET
	help
	  Add code for fancy output. This merely silences a compiler-warning

	  of CPUs.

config TIME
	bool "time"
	default n
	help
	  The time command runs the specified program with the given arguments.
	  When the command finishes, time writes a message to standard output
	  giving timing statistics about this program run.

config TTYSIZE
	bool "ttysize"
	default n
	help
	  A replacement for "stty size". Unlike stty, can report only width,
	  only height, or both, in any order. It also does not complain on
	  error, but returns default 80x24.
	  Usage in shell scripts: width=`ttysize w`.

config WATCHDOG
	bool "watchdog"
	default n
	help
	  The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
	  device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
	  and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
	  watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
	  certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
	  hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
