# BusyBox configuration option Help File
#
# Format of this file: description<nl>variable<nl>help text<nl><nl>.
# The help texts may contain empty lines, but every non-empty line must
# be indented two positions. Order of the help texts does not matter,
# however, no variable should be documented twice: if it is, only the
# first occurrence will be used. We try to keep the help texts of related
# variables close together. Lines starting with `#' are ignored. To be
# nice to menuconfig, limit your line length to 70 characters.
#
# Comments of the form "# Choice:" followed by a menu name are used
# internally by the maintainers' consistency-checking tools.
#
# If you add a help text to this file, please try to be as gentle as
# possible. Don't use unexplained acronyms and generally write for the
# hypothetical ignorant but intelligent user who has just bought a PC,
# removed Windows, installed Linux and is now compiling up BusyBox
# for the first time. Tell them what to do if they're unsure.
#
# Mention all the relevant READMEs and HOWTOs in the help text.
# Make them file URLs relative to the top level of the source tree so
# that help browsers can turn them into hotlinks. All URLs ahould be
# surrounded by <>.
#
# Repetitions are fine since the help texts are not meant to be read
# in sequence. It is good style to include URLs pointing to more
# detailed technical information, pictures of the hardware, etc.
#
# The most important thing to include in a help entry is *motivation*.
# Explain why someone configuring BusyBox might want to select your
# option.

Enable the ar applet
CONFIG_AR
ar is an archival utility program used to creates, 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. On an x86 system, the ar applet adds about XXX bytes.
Unless you have a specific application which requires ar, you should
probably say N here.
Enable the bunzip2 applet
CONFIG_BUNZIP2
bunzip2 is an 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.
The BusyBox bunzip2 applet is limited to de-compression only. On an
x86 system, this applet adds about XXX bytes.
Unless you have a specific application which requires bunzip2, you
should probably say N here.
