Finit's own generated services -- watchdogd, keventd, runparts, and
the dbus plugin -- still went through conf_save_service() as legacy
one-liners, so `initctl show keventd` taught the old format on a
system otherwise converted to the new one.
conf_save_service() now takes the block title and a printf-style body
and writes the file itself:
# Generated by finit:conf_save_service()
service keventd {
description = "Finit kernel event daemon"
runlevel = "S12345789"
notify = "none"
cgroup init {}
command = "/libexec/finit/keventd"
}
vfprintf() into the file also removes the fixed-size staging buffers
in the callers, where a long dbus pidfile path could truncate inside
a quoted string and take the whole generated file with it.
Semantics preserved: watch-only pid:! maps to pidfile without
pidfile-create, the watchdog keeps its watchdog:finit identity, and
log:console becomes log { file = "/dev/console" }.

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.

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.
