.Sh SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
.Nm
 | 
						|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
.Nm
 | 
						|
is an init process which can be an alternative to sysvinit or any other
 | 
						|
init process.
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
To use
 | 
						|
.Nm
 | 
						|
configure your boot loader to invoke it or symlink it to /sbin/init.
 | 
						|
Also, you will need to use
 | 
						|
.Xr openrc-shutdown 8 ,
 | 
						|
to halt, reboot or poweroff the system.
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
The default runlevel is read from the init command line, the
 | 
						|
rc_default_runlevel setting in rc.conf, the kernel command line, or it is
 | 
						|
assumed to be "default" if it is not set in any of these places.
 | 
						|
.Pp
 | 
						|
.Nm
 | 
						|
doesn't manage getty's directly, so you will need to manage them another
 | 
						|
way. For example, you can use the agetty service script as described in
 | 
						|
agetty-guide.md in this distribution.
 | 
						|
.Sh BUGS
 | 
						|
This was first released as part of OpenRC 0.25.
 | 
						|
I do not know of any specific issues. However, since this is the first
 | 
						|
release of openrc-init, please test and report any issues you find.
