Access common command line utilities
QNX Neutrino
The toybox package combines many common command line utilities together into a single, BSD-licensed executable.
The following toybox commands are supported: ascii, base64, basename, bc, bunzip2, bzcat, cal, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, cksum, clear, cmp, comm, cp, cpio, crc32, cut, date, dd, diff, dirname, dos2unix, du, echo, egrep, env, expand, expr, false, fgrep, file, find, grep, groups, gunzip, gzip, head, id, install, link, ln, logname, ls, md5sum, mkdir, mkfifo, mktemp, more, mv, nl, nohup, od, paste, patch, printf, pwd, readlink, realpath, rm, rmdir, sed, seq, sha1sum, sleep, sort, split, stat, strings, tail, tar, tee, test, time, touch, true, truncate, tty, uname, uniq, unix2dos, unlink, uudecode, uuencode, uuidgen, wc, which, whoami, xargs, xxd, yes, zcat.
QNX Neutrino uses the toybox versions of gzip, gunzip, and zcat.
Using other toybox commands to replace their equivalent QNX Neutrino utilities is optional, but toybox commands will replace their equivalent QNX Neutrino utilities in a future release.
Use one of the following commands to access help for a toybox command:
toybox command_name --help command_name --help
To enable toybox, add the following line to the appropriate buildfile:
path/to/toybox=usr/bin/toybox
Also add a link for each toybox command you want to enable. QNX recommends that you use a hard link, if the filesystem supports it:
[type=hlink] path/to/command_name=/path/to/toybox
Use the following format if you need to use a symlink or process manager symlink (e.g., an IFS):
[type=link] path/to/command_name=toybox
