config ACPID
bool "acpid (9 kb)"
default y
help
acpid listens to ACPI events coming either in textual form from
/proc/acpi/event (though it is marked deprecated it is still widely
used and _is_ a standard) or in binary form from specified evdevs
(just use /dev/input/event*).
It parses the event to retrieve ACTION and a possible PARAMETER.
It then spawns /etc/acpi/<ACTION>[/<PARAMETER>] either via run-parts
(if the resulting path is a directory) or directly as an executable.
N.B. acpid relies on run-parts so have the latter installed.
config FEATURE_ACPID_COMPAT
bool "Accept and ignore redundant options"
default y

config DMESG
bool "dmesg (3.7 kb)"
default y
help
dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. When the
Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in
the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring
buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel
ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages
are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you
wish to enable the 'dmesg' utility.
config FEATURE_DMESG_PRETTY
bool "Pretty output"
default y
depends on DMESG
help

fdformat is used to low-level format a floppy disk.
config FDISK
bool "fdisk (37 kb)"
default y
help
The fdisk utility is used to divide hard disks into one or more
logical disks, which are generally called partitions. This utility
can be used to list and edit the set of partitions or BSD style
'disk slices' that are defined on a hard drive.
config FDISK_SUPPORT_LARGE_DISKS
bool "Support over 4GB disks"
default y
depends on FDISK
depends on !LFS # with LFS no special code is needed
config FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
bool "Write support"
default y
depends on FDISK
help
Enabling this option allows you to create or change a partition table
and write those changes out to disk. If you leave this option
disabled, you will only be able to view the partition table.
config FEATURE_AIX_LABEL
bool "Support AIX disklabels"
default n
depends on FDISK && FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
help
Enabling this option allows you to create or change AIX disklabels.
Most people can safely leave this option disabled.

Enabling this option allows you to view GUID Partition Table
disklabels.
config FEATURE_FDISK_ADVANCED
bool "Support expert mode"
default y
depends on FDISK && FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
help
Enabling this option allows you to do terribly unsafe things like
define arbitrary drive geometry, move the beginning of data in a
partition, and similarly evil things. Unless you have a very good
reason you would be wise to leave this disabled.
config FINDFS
bool "findfs (12 kb)"
default y
select VOLUMEID
help
Prints the name of a filesystem with given label or UUID.
config FLOCK
bool "flock (6.3 kb)"
default y
help
Manage locks from shell scripts
config FDFLUSH
bool "fdflush (1.3 kb)"
default y
help
fdflush is only needed when changing media on slightly-broken
removable media drives. It is used to make Linux believe that a
hardware disk-change switch has been actuated, which causes Linux to
forget anything it has cached from the previous media. If you have
such a slightly-broken drive, you will need to run fdflush every time
you change a disk. Most people have working hardware and can safely
leave this disabled.
config FREERAMDISK
bool "freeramdisk (1.3 kb)"
default y
help
Linux allows you to create ramdisks. This utility allows you to
delete them and completely free all memory that was used for the
ramdisk. For example, if you boot Linux into a ramdisk and later
pivot_root, you may want to free the memory that is allocated to the
ramdisk. If you have no use for freeing memory from a ramdisk, leave
this disabled.
config FSCK_MINIX
bool "fsck.minix (13 kb)"
default y
help
The minix filesystem is a nice, small, compact, read-write filesystem
with little overhead. It is not a journaling filesystem however and
can experience corruption if it is not properly unmounted or if the
power goes off in the middle of a write. This utility allows you to
check for and attempt to repair any corruption that occurs to a minix
filesystem.
config FSFREEZE

config GETOPT
bool "getopt (5.8 kb)"
default y
help
The getopt utility is used to break up (parse) options in command
lines to make it easy to write complex shell scripts that also check
for legal (and illegal) options. If you want to write horribly
complex shell scripts, or use some horribly complex shell script
written by others, this utility may be for you. Most people will
wisely leave this disabled.
config FEATURE_GETOPT_LONG
bool "Support -l LONGOPTs"
default y
depends on GETOPT && LONG_OPTS
help
Enable support for long options (option -l).
config HEXDUMP
bool "hexdump (8.6 kb)"

default y
help
The xxd utility is used to display binary data in a readable
way that is comparable to the output from most hex editors.
config HWCLOCK
bool "hwclock (5.8 kb)"
default y
help
The hwclock utility is used to read and set the hardware clock
on a system. This is primarily used to set the current time on
shutdown in the hardware clock, so the hardware will keep the
correct time when Linux is _not_ running.
config FEATURE_HWCLOCK_ADJTIME_FHS
bool "Use FHS /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime"
default n # util-linux-ng in Fedora 13 still uses /etc/adjtime
depends on HWCLOCK
help
Starting with FHS 2.3, the adjtime state file is supposed to exist
at /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime instead of /etc/adjtime. If you wish
to use the FHS behavior, answer Y here, otherwise answer N for the
classic /etc/adjtime path.

executing commands when devices are created/removed.
For more information, please see docs/mdev.txt
config FEATURE_MDEV_LOAD_FIRMWARE
bool "Support loading of firmware"
default y
depends on MDEV
help
Some devices need to load firmware before they can be usable.
These devices will request userspace look up the files in
/lib/firmware/ and if it exists, send it to the kernel for
loading into the hardware.
config FEATURE_MDEV_DAEMON
bool "Support daemon mode"
default y
depends on MDEV
help
Adds the -d option to run mdev in daemon mode handling hotplug
events from the kernel like udev. If the system generates many
hotplug events this mode of operation will consume less
resources than registering mdev as hotplug helper or using the
uevent applet.
config MESG
bool "mesg (1.4 kb)"
default y
help
Mesg controls access to your terminal by others. It is typically
used to allow or disallow other users to write to your terminal
config FEATURE_MESG_ENABLE_ONLY_GROUP
bool "Enable writing to tty only by group, not by everybody"
default y
depends on MESG
help
Usually, ttys are owned by group "tty", and "write" tool is
setgid to this group. This way, "mesg y" only needs to enable
"write by owning group" bit in tty mode.
If you set this option to N, "mesg y" will enable writing
by anybody at all. This is not recommended.
config MKE2FS
bool "mke2fs (10 kb)"
default y
help
Utility to create EXT2 filesystems.
config MKFS_EXT2
bool "mkfs.ext2 (10 kb)"
default y
help
Alias to "mke2fs".
config MKFS_MINIX
bool "mkfs.minix (10 kb)"
default y
help
The minix filesystem is a nice, small, compact, read-write filesystem
with little overhead. If you wish to be able to create minix
filesystems this utility will do the job for you.
config FEATURE_MINIX2
bool "Support Minix fs v2 (fsck_minix/mkfs_minix)"
default y
depends on FSCK_MINIX || MKFS_MINIX
help
If you wish to be able to create version 2 minix filesystems, enable
this. If you enabled 'mkfs_minix' then you almost certainly want to
be using the version 2 filesystem support.
config MKFS_REISER
bool "mkfs_reiser"

default y
help
Utility to create FAT32 filesystems.
config MKFS_VFAT
bool "mkfs.vfat (7.2 kb)"
default y
help
Alias to "mkdosfs".
config MKSWAP
bool "mkswap (6.3 kb)"
default y
help
The mkswap utility is used to configure a file or disk partition as
Linux swap space. This allows Linux to use the entire file or
partition as if it were additional RAM, which can greatly increase
the capability of low-memory machines. This additional memory is
much slower than real RAM, but can be very helpful at preventing your
applications being killed by the Linux out of memory (OOM) killer.
Once you have created swap space using 'mkswap' you need to enable
the swap space using the 'swapon' utility.
config FEATURE_MKSWAP_UUID
bool "UUID support"
default y
depends on MKSWAP
help
Generate swap spaces with universally unique identifiers.
config MORE
bool "more (7 kb)"
default y
help
more is a simple utility which allows you to read text one screen
sized page at a time. If you want to read text that is larger than
the screen, and you are using anything faster than a 300 baud modem,
you will probably find this utility very helpful. If you don't have
any need to reading text files, you can leave this disabled.
config MOUNT
bool "mount (23 kb)"
default y
help
All files and filesystems in Unix are arranged into one big directory
tree. The 'mount' utility is used to graft a filesystem onto a
particular part of the tree. A filesystem can either live on a block
device, or it can be accessible over the network, as is the case with
NFS filesystems.
config FEATURE_MOUNT_FAKE
bool "Support -f (fake mount)"
default y
depends on MOUNT
help
Enable support for faking a file system mount.
config FEATURE_MOUNT_VERBOSE
bool "Support -v (verbose)"
default y
depends on MOUNT
help
Enable multi-level -v[vv...] verbose messages. Useful if you
debug mount problems and want to see what is exactly passed
to the kernel.
config FEATURE_MOUNT_HELPERS
bool "Support mount helpers"
default n
depends on MOUNT
help
Enable mounting of virtual file systems via external helpers.
E.g. "mount obexfs#-b00.11.22.33.44.55 /mnt" will in effect call
"obexfs -b00.11.22.33.44.55 /mnt"
Also "mount -t sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" will try
"sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" if simple mount syscall fails.
The idea is to use such virtual filesystems in /etc/fstab.
config FEATURE_MOUNT_LABEL
bool "Support specifying devices by label or UUID"
default y
depends on MOUNT
select VOLUMEID
help
This allows for specifying a device by label or uuid, rather than by
name. This feature utilizes the same functionality as blkid/findfs.
config FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS
bool "Support mounting NFS file systems on Linux < 2.6.23"
default n
depends on MOUNT
select FEATURE_SYSLOG
help
Enable mounting of NFS file systems on Linux kernels prior
to version 2.6.23. Note that in this case mounting of NFS
over IPv6 will not be possible.
Note that this option links in RPC support from libc,
which is rather large (~10 kbytes on uclibc).
config FEATURE_MOUNT_CIFS
bool "Support mounting CIFS/SMB file systems"
default y
depends on MOUNT
help
Enable support for samba mounts.
config FEATURE_MOUNT_FLAGS
depends on MOUNT
bool "Support lots of -o flags"
default y
help
Without this, mount only supports ro/rw/remount. With this, it
supports nosuid, suid, dev, nodev, exec, noexec, sync, async, atime,
noatime, diratime, nodiratime, loud, bind, move, shared, slave,
private, unbindable, rshared, rslave, rprivate, and runbindable.
config FEATURE_MOUNT_FSTAB

config NOLOGIN_DEPENDENCIES
bool "Enable dependencies for nologin"
default n # Y default makes it harder to select single-applet test
depends on NOLOGIN
select CAT
select ECHO
select SLEEP
help
nologin is implemented as a shell script. It requires the
following in the runtime environment:
cat echo sleep
If you know these will be available externally you can
disable this option.
config NSENTER
bool "nsenter (6.5 kb)"
default y
help
Run program with namespaces of other processes.
config PIVOT_ROOT
bool "pivot_root (1.1 kb)"
default y
help
The pivot_root utility swaps the mount points for the root filesystem
with some other mounted filesystem. This allows you to do all sorts
of wild and crazy things with your Linux system and is far more
powerful than 'chroot'.
Note: This is for initrd in linux 2.4. Under initramfs (introduced
in linux 2.6) use switch_root instead.
config RDATE
bool "rdate (5.6 kb)"
default y
help
The rdate utility allows you to synchronize the date and time of your
system clock with the date and time of a remote networked system using
the RFC868 protocol, which is built into the inetd daemon on most
systems.
config RDEV
bool "rdev (1.8 kb)"
default y
help

config SCRIPTREPLAY
bool "scriptreplay (2.4 kb)"
default y
help
This program replays a typescript, using timing information
given by script -t.
config SETARCH
bool "setarch (3.6 kb)"
default y
help
The linux32 utility is used to create a 32bit environment for the
specified program (usually a shell). It only makes sense to have
this util on a system that supports both 64bit and 32bit userland
(like amd64/x86, ppc64/ppc, sparc64/sparc, etc...).
config LINUX32
bool "linux32 (3.3 kb)"
default y
help
Alias to "setarch linux32".
config LINUX64

Run a program with different Linux privilege settings.
Requires kernel >= 3.5
config FEATURE_SETPRIV_DUMP
bool "Support dumping current privilege state"
default y
depends on SETPRIV
help
Enables the "--dump" switch to print out the current privilege
state. This is helpful for diagnosing problems.
config FEATURE_SETPRIV_CAPABILITIES
bool "Support capabilities"
default y
depends on SETPRIV
help
Capabilities can be used to grant processes additional rights
without the necessity to always execute as the root user.
Enabling this option enables "--dump" to show information on
capabilities.
config FEATURE_SETPRIV_CAPABILITY_NAMES
bool "Support capability names"
default y
depends on SETPRIV && FEATURE_SETPRIV_CAPABILITIES
help
Capabilities can be either referenced via a human-readble name,
e.g. "net_admin", or using their index, e.g. "cap_12". Enabling
this option allows using the human-readable names in addition to
the index-based names.
config SETSID
bool "setsid (3.6 kb)"
default y
help
setsid runs a program in a new session
config SWAPON
bool "swapon (15 kb)"
default y
help
Once you have created some swap space using 'mkswap', you also need
to enable your swap space with the 'swapon' utility. The 'swapoff'
utility is used, typically at system shutdown, to disable any swap
space. If you are not using any swap space, you can leave this
option disabled.
config FEATURE_SWAPON_DISCARD
bool "Support discard option -d"
default y
depends on SWAPON
help
Enable support for discarding swap area blocks at swapon and/or as
the kernel frees them. This option enables both the -d option on
'swapon' and the 'discard' option for swap entries in /etc/fstab.
config FEATURE_SWAPON_PRI
bool "Support priority option -p"
default y
depends on SWAPON
help
Enable support for setting swap device priority in swapon.
config SWAPOFF

config FEATURE_SWAPONOFF_LABEL
bool "Support specifying devices by label or UUID"
default y
depends on SWAPON || SWAPOFF
select VOLUMEID
help
This allows for specifying a device by label or uuid, rather than by
name. This feature utilizes the same functionality as blkid/findfs.
config SWITCH_ROOT
bool "switch_root (5.5 kb)"
default y
help
The switch_root utility is used from initramfs to select a new
root device. Under initramfs, you have to use this instead of
pivot_root. (Stop reading here if you don't care why.)
Booting with initramfs extracts a gzipped cpio archive into rootfs
(which is a variant of ramfs/tmpfs). Because rootfs can't be moved
or unmounted*, pivot_root will not work from initramfs. Instead,
switch_root deletes everything out of rootfs (including itself),
does a mount --move that overmounts rootfs with the new root, and
then execs the specified init program.
* Because the Linux kernel uses rootfs internally as the starting
and ending point for searching through the kernel's doubly linked
list of active mount points. That's why.
config TASKSET
bool "taskset (4.2 kb)"
default y
help
Retrieve or set a processes's CPU affinity.
This requires sched_{g,s}etaffinity support in your libc.
config FEATURE_TASKSET_FANCY

config FEATURE_TASKSET_CPULIST
bool "CPU list support (-c option)"
default y
depends on FEATURE_TASKSET_FANCY
help
Add support for taking/printing affinity as CPU list when '-c'
option is used. For example, it prints '0-3,7' instead of mask '8f'.
config UEVENT
bool "uevent (3.1 kb)"
default y
help
uevent is a netlink listener for kernel uevent notifications
sent via netlink. It is usually used for dynamic device creation.
config UMOUNT
bool "umount (5.1 kb)"
default y
help
When you want to remove a mounted filesystem from its current mount
point, for example when you are shutting down the system, the
'umount' utility is the tool to use. If you enabled the 'mount'
utility, you almost certainly also want to enable 'umount'.
config FEATURE_UMOUNT_ALL

config FEATURE_MOUNT_LOOP
bool "Support loopback mounts"
default y
depends on MOUNT || UMOUNT
help
Enabling this feature allows automatic mounting of files (containing
filesystem images) via the linux kernel's loopback devices.
The mount command will detect you are trying to mount a file instead
of a block device, and transparently associate the file with a
loopback device. The umount command will also free that loopback
device.
You can still use the 'losetup' utility (to manually associate files
with loop devices) if you need to do something advanced, such as
specify an offset or cryptographic options to the loopback device.
(If you don't want umount to free the loop device, use "umount -D".)
config FEATURE_MOUNT_LOOP_CREATE
bool "Create new loopback devices if needed"

Linux kernels >= 2.6.24 support unlimited loopback devices. They are
allocated for use when trying to use a loop device. The loop device
must however exist.
This feature lets mount to try to create next /dev/loopN device
if it does not find a free one.

Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
a symlink to /proc/mounts.)
The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
that your /etc directory be writable, tends to get easily confused
by --bind or --move mounts, won't update if you rename a directory
that contains a mount point, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)
About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from
your kernel.
