+		Dinit is a service supervisor with dependency support which can also act as the system "init" program.
+		It was created with the intention of providing a portable init system with dependency management,
+		that was functionally superior to many extant inits. Development goals include clean design,
+		robustness, portability, usability, and avoiding feature bloat
+		(whilst still handling common - and some less-common - use cases).
+		Dinit is designed to integrate with rather than subsume or replace other system software.
