Add support for the --exclude-prefix=PATH option to skip rules whose
path starts with the specified prefix. The option can be specified
multiple times to exclude multiple path prefixes.
The -E flag is a shortcut for:
--exclude-prefix=/dev --exclude-prefix=/proc \
--exclude-prefix=/run --exclude-prefix=/sys
This is useful to avoid creating files below virtual or memory-backed
file system mount points.
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.
