This is what 'initctl create' and 'initctl edit -c' put in front of a user writing their first .conf file, so it is also the whole of the "initctl emits the new format" work: neither command generates syntax, they copy this file and open an editor on it. The ASCII diagram naming eight positional fields goes with it. A block has no positions to explain. Signed-off-by: Joachim Wiberg <troglobit@gmail.com>
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.

For working examples, see the 🚀 contrib/ section or these tutorials:
- 🛠️ 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.
