Package: busybox
Version: 0.50

When entering the following command:

	busybox

I get...

BusyBox v0.50 (2001.03.20-19:29+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: busybox [function] [arguments]...
   or: [function] [arguments]...

	BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
	utilities into a single executable.  Most people will create a
	link to busybox for each function they wish to use, and BusyBox
	will act like whatever it was invoked as.

Currently defined functions:
	busybox, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, clear, cp, cut, date, dd, df,
	dmesg, du, dutmp, false, fdflush, find, grep, gunzip, gzip, halt,
	head, hostname, id, insmod, kill, killall, ln, loadkmap, logger,
	ls, makedevs, md5sum, mkdir, mkfs.minix, mknod, mkswap, mktemp,
	more, mount, mv, nslookup, ping, printf, rdate, renice, rm, rmdir,
	rmmod, sort, stty, swapoff, swapon, sync, tail, tar, tee, touch,
	tr, true, umount, uname, uniq, update, uptime, usleep, wc, which,
	whoami, xargs, zcat

...but when entering...

	busybox --help

...I get...

BusyBox v0.50 (2001.03.20-19:29+0000) multi-call binary

No help available.

...Hmmm....
