.TH rdinit 8

.SH NAME

\fBrdinit\fR \- initramfs pid 1 / module auto-loader

'''

.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBrdinit\fR starts the setup script and keeps handling modalias events

from the kernel while the script is running. Once the setup script exits,

\fBrdinit\fR cleans up initramfs, switches the system to the real root

and invokes the real init.

.P

This tool only makes sense in initramfs environment and should not be used

otherwise. See initrd/initramfs documentation for more details.
