docs: Add links to cmd description from cmd list

2025-08-03T08:53:20+00:00

In the generated `docs/busybox.pod` file, add a link for each command in
the big command list that goes to that command's description, like a
compact table of contents. This seems to only affect the generated HTML
version of the usage page.

To add `id` attributes to each usage section title, each command now
uses `=head2` instead of `=item` for their section heading.

To add links to each command in the list, the list was unindented so
that it could use rich text, and each command was marked as code text
(C<>) so they are styled in monospace. These changes mean that the HTML
and mandoc command list will expand to fit the available width of the
viewport, rather than wrapping at a fixed line-length. The plain text
version retains its existing wrapping behavior.

Because of the new code text formatting, `--quotes=none` was added to
the pod2man and pod2text invocations in Makefile.custom to prevent the
command list from quoting every single command.

applets/install: don't try to install nothing

2018-04-15T10:07:22+00:00

Commit 952d5a6024e7 (applets/install: accept more than one install
option) changed the way we handle install options: before that commit, a
missing install type would mean to install nothing; after, we would
iterate over options, so we would never notice there was a mising
option.

Fix that by introducing an explicit --none option to specify to install
nothing.

buildsys: Add helper to list suid applets

2013-07-26T11:39:46+00:00

Add a helper script that lists all applets that
- do or may require SUID provileges (busybox.cfg.suid)
- do not require SUID provileges (busybox.cfg.nosuid)

Some setups prefer to build two busybox binaries, one that is suid which
contains all applets that do or may require suid privileges, and a
second one for all the rest (which drops suid). To ease splitting these
two binaries, generate a list of CONFIG_ items for the suid binary.
