    Summary: Sources of busybox
    Description: 
    BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small
    executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities you
    usually find in bzip2, coreutils, dhcp, diffutils, e2fsprogs, file, findutils,
    gawk, grep, inetutils, less, modutils, net-tools, procps, sed, shadow, sysklogd,
    sysvinit, tar, util-linux, and vim. The utilities in BusyBox often have fewer
    options than their full-featured cousins; however, the options that are included
    provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their larger
    counterparts.
    BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind,
    both to produce small binaries and to reduce run-time memory usage. Busybox is
    also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or
    features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize embedded systems; to
    create a working system, just add /dev, /etc, and a Linux kernel. Busybox has
    also been used as a component of "thin client" desktop systems, live-CD
    distributions, rescue disks, installers, and so on.
    BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small system, both
    embedded environments and more full featured systems concerned about space.
    Busybox is slowly working towards implementing the full Single Unix Specification
    V3 (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/), but isn't there yet (and for
    size reasons will probably support at most UTF-8 for internationalization).
    
    This package contains sources of busybox.
