What's the Busybox default shell?

Question

My guess is this defaults to Bash, but would like to know for sure.

Thanks.

It's not bash, is a one small file replacement for many small linux/unix utilities like sh and the files utilities

It's written with minimum size in mind and with embedded systems as target where space is a precious resource.
