BusyBox is a multiuse-utility, designed for embedded Linux-systems.

For example, BusyBox is used in Tiny Core Linux.

BusyBox can provide most of the functionality of the many programs typical found in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, all in a single binary, thus saving space on small systems.

As a shell, BusyBox provides ash.

BusyBox can be configured to include as little or as much "applets" as desired.

BusyBox can be compiled to include an AWK-implementation.
