This page has information about the commands and features desired for a busybox replacement program.
See Busybox replacement project for the project proposal for this work.

Command List
[Rob - can you massage this list?]
The first release of a busybox replacement should include the following commands: [insert candidate list here]
Toybox currently implements
The triaged toybox is currently implementing usable versions of:
bzcat cal cat catv chroot chvt cksum count cp df dirname dmesg echo false help link mkswap nc netcat nice nohup oneit patch pwd rmdir seq setsid sha1sum sleep sort sync tee true truncate tty uname unlink unshare wc which yes
And minimal versions of:
mdev sh
See the Toybox todo list for the most up to date status.
Toolbox commands
Toolbox in Android (what version?) implements the following commands:
date id uptime schedtop ifconfig start newfs_msdos ls route netstat ioctl reboot getprop cmp insmod chmod r cat lsmod chown log df top printenv ionice setprop rmmod setconsole sleep watchprops notify wipe smd iftop rmdir dd vmstat hd rm mount ln lsof getevent ps dmesg renice kill mkdir sendevent nandread mv sync stop umount
The following are unique to Android:
alarm schedtop newfs_msdos getprop log setprop watchprops notify wipe iftop getevent sendevent nandread stop smd setconsole
Ones I'm not sure about:
- r?
- ioctl?

Random Notes
Can implement incrementally
Rob wrote:
One nice thing about busybox/toybox/toolbox is you can install multiple implementations side by side, and have what symlinks you create (or what comes first in the $PATH) determine who is implementing what.
This allows gradual transitions. Each release, we replace a couple more commands from the old one, until the old one finally isn't being used for anything anymore and we can uninstall it...
