BusyBox

Copyright (C) 2015-2019 Anton Skshidlevsky, GPLv2

This application is an BusyBox installer for Android.

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single 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.

The app is available for download in Google Play and GitHub.
