Finit had no way to answer the question every service manager gets asked: what is running, and change it. D-Bus is how the rest of userspace asks, but linking libdbus, sd-bus or GIO into PID 1 buys a dependency, an allocator and a main loop we do not control. So libink: the wire format, an object tree, and a bus of Finit's own at /run/finit/bus, gated like INIT_SOCKET. It speaks the standard org.freedesktop.DBus, .Peer, .Introspectable interfaces, and Finit's own Manager1, Service1 and Cond1 on top. Methods that change something are marked privileged and answered only for a caller the kernel vouched for, via SO_PEERCRED. Server and client both, since initctl is the first thing that needs to talk to it, and its Start/Stop/Restart/Reload now go over the bus rather than the legacy socket.
