Refactor print() to emit description + final status in a single call to cprintf(), preventing kernel messages from splitting the two parts. For two-phase print(-1,...) + print_result() sequences used by, e.g., run_interactive, save the last description and re-print it before the [ OK ] / [FAIL] output so the status is never left stranded on a blank line when command output or kernel messages have scrolled away the original description. Finally, add print_exit() which drains the console output buffer with tcdrain(2) and resets ANSI SGR attributes + cursor visibility before the kernel takes back the console on reboot/halt, preventing escape code leakage into bootloader or early-kernel output.

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.

- 🛠️ 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.
