This was requested by Debian, because the minicom software, which is
available on Debian and other distros, has a binary named runscript. We
are keeping a backward compatibility symlink for now, but this allows
Debian or any other distro to safely remove the symlink.

Debian requested this rename due to the "rc" binary conflicting with the
"rc" binary from the plan 9 shell.
We also add a deprecation warning to the binary when it is run as rc to
encourage users to switch to openrc instead.

The libeinfo library has no consumers other than OpenRC, so there is no
reason for it to be maintained as a library. The einfo routines are now
an object that links with the rc binary.
Add an EERROR_QUIET environment variable which works like EINFO_QUIET
but for the eerror functions. This will allow library consumers to
choose whether to suppress eerror messages separately from einfo and
ewarn messages.

This makes the eerror* functions honor the EINFO_QUIET environment
variable like the einfo* and ewarn* functions.

This reverts commit 4ee62c7903.
The previously referenced commit broke consistency because ewarnx() was
respecting the EINFO_QUIET environment setting, but after this commit,
ewarn() was not.
Also, due to discussion on the below referenced bugs, I think we do
want to suppress warnings when EINFO_QUIET=yes.

The example code had an invalid checkpath option (--dir instead of
--directory) and a mode that does not make sense for directories (664
instead of 775).

Restart has never been able to be overridden in OpenRc, but there is a
way to make your service script behave differently when restart is being
executed.

OpenRC, by default, stops all services that are not listed in a runlevel
when rc is used to switch runlevels. This adds a -n/--no-stop command
line option to rc which tells it to skip stopping the services which are
not in the runlevel.

Explain that virtual services take precedence over real services and
recommend that virtual services have different names from real services.

By design, restart is hard coded to run stop followed by start along
with all of the pre/post functions associated with them. Restart doesn't
need its own pre/post functions since it is possible to make any
function in an init script behave differently for a restart command by
testing against the RC_CMD environment variable.
The Gentoo developer manual covers how to handle restarts in init
scripts, but this was not officially covered in OpenRc's Documentation.
This commit adds an example to the runscript man page that shows how
this works.
The commands defined in the extra_commands variable do not depend on
whether the service is stopped or started, so it is valid to run them in
chroot environments.
Also, add a note to the runscript man page about the commands in
extra_commands being able to run whether or not the service is started.

Checkpath -W will use access(3p) to determine whether or not a path is
writable. This is more accurate than test(1p) because it also takes into
account whether or not the filesystem is mounted read-only.
Modified by William Hubbs to add the man page update.
The start-stop-daemon "--make-pidfile" option is now used by default when using
command_background, this requires a pidfile to be specified.
Document command_background option.

This commit provides the checkpath applet with feature parity to
systemd's tmpfiles.c create_item function.
Very similarly to the systemd function, it does NOT do any of the
cleanup work in this function.

The ewarn() function was affected by the EINFO_QUIET environment
variable which lead to warning messages being suppressed. Warnings
should not be suppressed.

symbolic links should not be followed in an attempt to work out the name
of the service we are running. Also, @sysconfdir@/conf.d should be tried
as a backup directory for configuration files.
I would like to thank Robin Johnson for his input on this change.
