Section: utils
Description: Tiny utilities for small and embedded systems.
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv,
mount, tar, etc.). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
counterparts.
.
This package installs the BusyBox binary but does not install symlinks
for any of the supported utilities. You can use /bin/busybox --install
to install BusyBox to the current directory (you do not want to do this
in / on your Debian system!).

BusyBox-static provides you with a statically linked simple stand alone shell
that provides all the utilities available in BusyBox. This package is
intended to be used as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your
system. Invoke "busybox sh" and you have a standalone shell ready to save
your system from certain destruction. Invoke "busybox", and it will list the
available builtin commands.

busybox-udeb is used by the debian-installer, so unless you are working
on the debian-installer, this package is not for you. Installing this
on your Debian system is a very, very bad idea. You have been warned.
