there is also mdev in busybox, in case you are interested. I like busybox very
much, but I think it lacks documentation.


busybox is a bit incomplete in places too. ed is missing E and Q, which are the sort of do-without-confirmation commands useful in scripts. ed also lacks n, leaving (I think) no way to get line numbers from a busybox utility. I don't know how vi is coming along but don't have good memories of it from 2 or 3 years ago, it was really rotten. dc has badly broken parsing and appears to be missing _most_ commands. I'm not impressed yet. :)

Complexity is not a function of the number of features. Some features exist only because complexity was _removed_ from the underlying system.
