Texas Holdem Players (no limit game): I need betting rules when there is an all-in player?

Situation: The little blind sees the flop, then goes all-in for less than the value of the big blind. What is the least the next player has to bet to stay in the hand if there are other players after him?

a. The amount of the all-in bet?

OR

b. The amount of the big blind?

Does the size of the all-in bet determine the answer above? (Some players say that an all-in bet less than half the big blind allows following bettors to call only the all-in bet, while others say that the size of the all-in bet doesn't matter.)

Thanks for your help.

Update:

Thanks to everyone.

I agree with your answers that the big blind is the minimum bet allowed. However, some (but not all) casinos allow following players to call only the all-in if the all-in bet is less than half of the big blind. I can't find it in any rule books. A similar rule applies to raising when an all-in bet has been placed.

Thanks again.

    I think the minimum to stay in the hand is still the big blind. There would then be a side pot if there are more than one caller.

    the big blind. If no others call, then he gets anything over the bet of the small blind back.
