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 FEATURE_AR_LONG_FILENAMES + bool "Enable support for long filenames (not need for debs)" + default n + depends on 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 BUNZIP2 + bool "bunzip2" + default n + 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. + + The BusyBox bunzip2 applet is limited to de-compression only. + On an x86 system, this applet adds about 11K. + + Unless you have a specific application which requires bunzip2, you + should probably say N here. + +config CPIO + bool "cpio" + default n + 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 DPKG + bool "dpkg" + default n + 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 DPKG_DEB + bool "dpkg_deb" + default n + help + dpkg-deb packs, 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, you should + probably say N here. + +config FEATURE_DPKG_DEB_EXTRACT_ONLY + bool "extract only (-x)" + default n + depends on 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 GUNZIP + bool "gunzip" + default n + 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 FEATURE_GUNZIP_UNCOMPRESS + bool "Uncompress support" + default n + depends on GUNZIP + help + Enable if you want gunzip to have the ability to decompress + archives created by the program compress (not much + used anymore). + +config GZIP + bool "gzip" + default n + help + gzip is used to compress files. + It's probably the most widely used UNIX compression program. + +config RPM2CPIO + bool "rpm2cpio" + default n + help + Converts an RPM file into a CPIO archive. + +config RPM + bool "rpm" + default n + help + Mini RPM applet - queries and extracts + +config TAR + bool "tar" + default n + help + tar is an archiving program.
