AW: How to know if a package requires any of busybox binaries during run-time

[Walter Harms]

Hello Kartik Thaore,
this is the busybox mailing list and we can tell you that busybox
should not depend on anything else than libc/libm. the other way
around is not possible since we can not know who is using busybox,

you need to ask the supplier of you system.

Betreff: How to know if a package requires any of busybox binaries during run-time

Hello Sir,

I seek to reduce “busybox” size in my device by removing some of the unwanted binaries.
I have identified such binaries that are not used by my application firmware. But I need to be 100% sure that these binaries are also not required by any of the packages in my device.

My Embedded Linux device includes various packages like the libxml2, termcap, lighttpd, sqlite etc along with Linux kernel.
How should I confirm if these packages require any of the busybox binaries during run-time?

Thanks in advance,
