Both keys prompt the question they should be answering.
'remain' decides whether a finished run or task keeps existing: without
it the entry is pruned, so the work re-runs on every runlevel entry,
initctl cannot see it, and its post script never fires. With it the
entry stays, is not re-run, and gets a teardown when stopped or when it
leaves its runlevels. That is systemd's RemainAfterExit, and 'remain'
is that name with the informative half cut off.
'manual' says how a service is started but not that it is about
starting at all.
remain -> remain-after-exit
manual -> manual-start
Both keep their old spelling as an alias, which they qualify for twice
over, as abbreviations of the canonical name and as the legacy
spellings.
While here, give sec_getbool() the alias argument its string and list
counterparts already take.

Finit is a fast, simple alternative to SysV init and systemd, designed for small and embedded Linux systems. It can also run on desktop and server systems, like finix.

For working examples, see the 🚀 contrib/ section or these tutorials:
- 🛠️ Buildroot embedded Linux,
- 📦 Debian GNU/Linux,
- ⛰️ Alpine Linux, and
- 🌌 Void Linux
Note
Finit can run on various Linux distributions, but the bundled install scripts are examples only. They have been tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems with standard configurations.
For embedded systems, see these Buildroot-based examples: myLinux, Infix, or br2-finit-demo.
