+<h1> s6-linux-init </h1>
+
+<h2> What is it&nbsp;? </h2>
+
+<p>
+ s6-linux-init is a set of minimalistic tools to create and manage
+the init process on a Linux system - i.e. the first process created
+by the kernel at boot time.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ s6-linux-init is meant to automate creation of scripts revolving
+around the use of other skarnet.org tools, especially s6, in order
+to provide a complete booting environment with integrated supervision
+and logging without having to hand-craft all the details.
+</p>

+
+<h2> Installation </h2>
+
+<h3> Requirements </h3>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> A Linux-based system with a standard C development environment </li>
+ <li> GNU make, version 4.0 or later </li>
+ <li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/">skalibs</a> version
+2.3.5.1 or later </li>
+ <li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/execline/">execline</a> version
+2.1.2.2 or later </li>
+ <li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6-portable-utils/">s6-portable-utils</a> version
+2.0.5.0 or later </li>
+ <li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6-linux-utils/">s6-linux-utils</a> version
+2.0.2.0 or later </li>
+ <li> <a href="http://skarnet.org/software/s6/">s6</a> version
+2.1.4.0 or later </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+When you <em>build</em> s6-linux-init, the
+ <a href="s6-linux-init-maker.html">s6-linux-init-maker</a> tool
+is created; then you <em>run</em> that tool to create an init script,
+and then you can <em>boot</em> your system on that init script.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ The listed dependencies are all <em>build-time</em> dependencies and also
+<em>boot-time</em> dependencies, i.e. you need the tools installed to build
+s6-linux-init and to boot your system. There are no <em>run-time</em>
+dependencies, except skalibs if you linked against the shared version of
+the library.
