runit-init is the first process the kernel starts.  If runit-init is started as process no 1, it runs and
       replaces itself with runit(8).

       If runit-init is started while the system is up, it must be either called as init0 or init6:

       init0 tells  the  Unix process no 1 to shutdown and halt the system.  To signal runit(8) the system halt
              request, runit-init removes all permissions of the file /etc/runit/reboot (chmod 0), and sets  the
              execute by owner permission of the file /etc/runit/stopit (chmod 100).  Then a CONT signal is sent
              to runit(8).

       init6 tells  the  Unix  process  no  1 to shutdown and reboot the system.  To signal runit(8) the system
              reboot request, runit-init sets the execute by owner permission of the files /etc/runit/reboot and
              /etc/runit/stopit (chmod 100). Then a CONT signal is sent to runit(8).

runit-init returns 111 on error, 0 in all other cases.
