menu "Archival Utilities"
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_LZMA
bool "Make tar, rpm, modprobe etc understand .lzma data"
default n
help
Make tar, rpm, modprobe etc understand .lzma data.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_BZ2
bool "Make tar, rpm, modprobe etc understand .bz2 data"
default n
help
Make tar, rpm, modprobe etc understand .bz2 data.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_GZ
bool "Make tar, rpm, modprobe etc understand .gz data"
default n
help
Make tar, rpm, modprobe etc understand .gz data.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_Z
bool "Make tar and gunzip understand .Z data"
default n
help
Make tar and gunzip understand .Z data.
config BUSYBOX_AR
bool "ar"
default n
help
ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding
a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on
extraction.
The stored filename is limited to 15 characters. (for more information
see long filename support).
ar has 60 bytes of overheads for every stored file.
This implementation of ar can extract archives, it cannot create or
modify them.
On an x86 system, the ar applet adds about 1K.
Unless you have a specific application which requires ar, you should
probably say N here.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_AR_LONG_FILENAMES
bool "Support for long filenames (not need for debs)"
default n
depends on BUSYBOX_AR
help
By default the ar format can only store the first 15 characters of
the filename, this option removes that limitation.
It supports the GNU ar long filename method which moves multiple long
filenames into a the data section of a new ar entry.
config BUSYBOX_BUNZIP2
bool "bunzip2"
default y
help
bunzip2 is a compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block
sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression
is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the
performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.
Unless you have a specific application which requires bunzip2, you
should probably say N here.
config BUSYBOX_BZIP2
bool "bzip2"
default n
help
bzip2 is a compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block
sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression
is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the
performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.
Unless you have a specific application which requires bzip2, you
should probably say N here.
config BUSYBOX_CPIO
bool "cpio"
default y
help
cpio is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
extract contents from archives.
cpio has 110 bytes of overheads for every stored file.
This implementation of cpio can extract cpio archives created in the
"newc" or "crc" format, it cannot create or modify them.
Unless you have a specific application which requires cpio, you
should probably say N here.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_CPIO_O
bool "Support for archive creation"
default n
depends on BUSYBOX_CPIO
help
This implementation of cpio can create cpio archives in the "newc"
format only.
config BUSYBOX_DPKG
bool "dpkg"
default n
select BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_GZ
help
dpkg is a medium-level tool to install, build, remove and manage
Debian packages.
This implementation of dpkg has a number of limitations,
you should use the official dpkg if possible.
config BUSYBOX_DPKG_DEB
bool "dpkg_deb"
default n
select BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_GZ
help
dpkg-deb unpacks and provides information about Debian archives.
This implementation of dpkg-deb cannot pack archives.
Unless you have a specific application which requires dpkg-deb,
say N here.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_DPKG_DEB_EXTRACT_ONLY
bool "Extract only (-x)"
default n
depends on BUSYBOX_DPKG_DEB
help
This reduces dpkg-deb to the equivalent of
"ar -p <deb> data.tar.gz | tar -zx". However it saves space as none
of the extra dpkg-deb, ar or tar options are needed, they are linked
to internally.
config BUSYBOX_GUNZIP
bool "gunzip"
default y
help
gunzip is used to decompress archives created by gzip.
You can use the `-t' option to test the integrity of
an archive, without decompressing it.
config BUSYBOX_GZIP
bool "gzip"
default y
help
gzip is used to compress files.
It's probably the most widely used UNIX compression program.
config BUSYBOX_IPKG
bool "ipkg"
default y
select BUSYBOX_MD5SUM
select BUSYBOX_WGET
help
ipkg is the itsy package management system.
config BUSYBOX_RPM2CPIO
bool "rpm2cpio"
default n
help
Converts an RPM file into a CPIO archive.
config BUSYBOX_RPM
bool "rpm"
default n
help
Mini RPM applet - queries and extracts RPM packages.
config BUSYBOX_TAR
bool "tar"
default y
help
tar is an archiving program. It's commonly used with gzip to
create compressed archives. It's probably the most widely used
UNIX archive program.
if TAR
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_TAR_CREATE
bool "Enable archive creation"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_TAR
help
If you enable this option you'll be able to create
tar archives using the `-c' option.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_TAR_AUTODETECT
bool "Autodetect gz/bz2 compressed tarballs"
default n
depends on BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_Z || BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_GZ || BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_BZ2 || BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SEAMLESS_LZMA
help
With this option tar can automatically detect gzip/bzip2 compressed
tarballs. Currently it works only on files (not pipes etc).
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_TAR_FROM
bool "Enable -X (exclude from) and -T (include from) options)"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_TAR
help
If you enable this option you'll be able to specify
a list of files to include or exclude from an archive.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_TAR_OLDGNU_COMPATIBILITY
bool "Support for old tar header format"
default N
depends on BUSYBOX_TAR
help
This option is required to unpack archives created in
the old GNU format; help to kill this old format by
repacking your ancient archives with the new format.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_TAR_OLDSUN_COMPATIBILITY
bool "Enable untarring of tarballs with checksums produced by buggy Sun tar"
default N
depends on BUSYBOX_TAR
help
This option is required to unpack archives created by some old
version of Sun's tar (it was calculating checksum using signed
arithmetic). It is said to be fixed in newer Sun tar, but "old"
tarballs still exist.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_TAR_GNU_EXTENSIONS
bool "Support for GNU tar extensions (long filenames)"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_TAR
help
With this option busybox supports GNU long filenames and
linknames.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_TAR_LONG_OPTIONS
bool "Enable long options"
default n
depends on BUSYBOX_TAR && BUSYBOX_GETOPT_LONG
help
Enable use of long options, increases size by about 400 Bytes
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_TAR_UNAME_GNAME
bool "Enable use of user and group names"
default n
depends on BUSYBOX_TAR
help
Enables use of user and group names in tar. This affects contents
listings (-t) and preserving permissions when unpacking (-p).
+200 bytes.
endif #tar
config BUSYBOX_UNCOMPRESS
bool "uncompress"
default n
help
uncompress is used to decompress archives created by compress.
Not much used anymore, replaced by gzip/gunzip.
config BUSYBOX_UNLZMA
bool "unlzma"
default n
help
unlzma is a compression utility using the Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain
compression algorithm, and range coding. Compression
is generally considerably better than that achieved by the bzip2
compressors.
The BusyBox unlzma applet is limited to de-compression only.
On an x86 system, this applet adds about 4K.
Unless you have a specific application which requires unlzma, you
should probably say N here.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_LZMA_FAST
bool "Optimize unlzma for speed"
default n
depends on BUSYBOX_UNLZMA
help
This option reduces decompression time by about 33% at the cost of
a 2K bigger binary.
config BUSYBOX_UNZIP
bool "unzip"
default y
help
unzip will list or extract files from a ZIP archive,
commonly found on DOS/WIN systems. The default behavior
(with no options) is to extract the archive into the
current directory. Use the `-d' option to extract to a
directory of your choice.
