The block conversion changed the bodies of the reference sections but left every "**Syntax:**" header spelling the line-based format, so each page opened by teaching the format it then stopped using. Six files were missed entirely: runparts, files, capabilities, requirements, runlevels, and switchroot. runparts had no block spelling written down anywhere, though the parser has read `runparts`, `runparts-progress`, and `runparts-sysv` all along. tty gains a table per variant. Its three syntax lines carried nine positional fields between them, which no longer describes anything the parser accepts. Fixes #148 Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>

============
|
|
|
|
Finit is capable of running on both desktop/server systems with udev and
|
|
embedded systems that usually come with BusyBox mdev. Some systems have
|
|
systemd-udev or eudev today instead of the original udev, Finit probes
|
|
for all of them at runtime and expects `/dev/` to be a writable file
|
|
system using `devtmpfs`. It is also possible to run on a statically set
|
|
up `/dev` if needed. It is however not a good idea to have both udev
|
|
and mdev installed at the same time, this will lead to unpredictable
|
|
results.
|
|
|
|
At boot Finit calls either `mdev` or `udevd` to populate `/dev`, this is
|
|
done slightly differently and on systems with udev you might want to add
|
|
the following one-shot task early in your `/etc/finit.conf`:
|
|
|
|
```conf
|
|
run udevadm {
|
|
description = "Waiting for udev"
|
|
runlevel = "S"
|
|
command = "udevadm settle --timeout=120"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finit has a built-in Getty for TTYs, but requires a working `/bin/login`
|
|
or `/bin/sh`, if no TTYs are configured in `/etc/finit.conf`.
|
|
|
|
For a fully operational system `/var`, `/run` and `/tmp` must be set up
|
|
properly in `/etc/fstab` -- which is iterated over at boot.
