-Description: BusyBox utilities
+Description: Multi-call binary that combines many common UNIX utilities
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
- small executable.
+ small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you
+ usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox
+ generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the
+ options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very
+ much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete
+ environment for any small or embedded system.
