I want to select read utility but not able to find in make menuconfig.
Syntax
read [-ers] [-a aname] [-p prompt] [-t timeout] [-n nchars] [-d delim] [name...]
below is read man page to be more clear:
http://ss64.com/bash/read.html
where and how I can add it in make menuconfig ?
read is already part of ash.
Just try the example given on http://ss64.com/bash/read.html to test (replace bash by ash).
#!/bin/ash
echo -n "Enter the current year and press [ENTER]: "
read var_year
echo "The year is: $var_year"
echo -n "Enter your name and press [ENTER]: "
read var_name
echo "Your name is: $var_name"(Last edited by maartenjd on 26 Sep 2016, 12:52)
