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

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.

	  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

	  You should set it to true if you have devfs enabled.
	  The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported:
	  "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE",
	  "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE",

	  '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.

	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

	  of CPUs.

config TIME

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.
