Implement supplementary group support for services, allowing them to access resources owned by multiple groups. Uses the @user:group,sup1,sup2 syntax to explicitly specify supplementary groups, in addition to now reading group membership from /etc/group.
Finit is an alternative to SysV init and systemd, focused on small and embedded Linux systems, although fully usable on server and desktop systems.

For working examples, see the 🚀 contrib/ section or these tutorials:
- 🛠️ Buildroot embedded Linux,
- 📦 Debian GNU/Linux,
- ⛰️ Alpine Linux, and
- 🌌 Void Linux
Note
Support for various Linux distributions does not mean Finit installs easily on all architectures. Bundled install scripts are examples for standard installations, tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems. Custom setups, e.g., for embedded systems, can be found in the following Buildroot based examples: myLinux, Infix, or the plain br2-finit-demo.
