Once we have busybox 1.28.0, we could enable these extra applets on
Linux:

    ipconfig  [CONFIG_IPCONFIG]
    nuke      [CONFIG_NUKE]
    resume    [CONFIG_RESUME]
    run-init  [CONFIG_RUN_INIT]

Hi,

CONFIG_NUKE, CONFIG_RESUME, CONFIG_RUN_INIT already enabled.
But CONFIG_IPCONFIG can not enable, because this can not use as source code.

Best regards,

Control: tag -1 + upstream

So this is almost there, except of ipconfig which is not implemented yet.
There's just a wip version, a first draft, klibc-utils/ipconfig.c.txt,
not touched since initial import in Sep-2017.

It's an interesting goal there, to have everything in busybox to stop
providing two libCs and two shells and two everything in initramfs..

Thanks,
