Both keys prompt the question they should be answering.
'remain' decides whether a finished run or task keeps existing: without
it the entry is pruned, so the work re-runs on every runlevel entry,
initctl cannot see it, and its post script never fires. With it the
entry stays, is not re-run, and gets a teardown when stopped or when it
leaves its runlevels. That is systemd's RemainAfterExit, and 'remain'
is that name with the informative half cut off.
'manual' says how a service is started but not that it is about
starting at all.
remain -> remain-after-exit
manual -> manual-start
Both keep their old spelling as an alias, which they qualify for twice
over, as abbreviations of the canonical name and as the legacy
spellings.
While here, give sec_getbool() the alias argument its string and list
counterparts already take.

Finit Test Suite
Finit comes with a set of tests and a small framework for running them. Contributors are encouraged to write new tests when implementing features, or fixing bugs.
Each test is run in isolation, in it's own namespace. Finit will therefore be able to be launched as PID 1. Since it's also running with it's own root directory it will be able to function properly without having any super user privileges in the host environment.
Running tests
To run the test suite, first build Finit, e.g:
./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix= --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-testserv-plugin
make -j9 clean all
Then run (parallel does not work atm):
make check
make check will set up the required assets for the test environment, and then
run the full set of tests. The environment is not removed afterwards so at
this point individual tests can be executed without having to run the entire
test suite, which is handy when developing new tests or debugging existing
test. To execute an individual test, simply invoke the script containing it:
./test/name-of-the-test.sh
Another way to run a single (or more) test(s) is to define the TESTS
environment variable:
TESTS="start-kill-service" make check
