+ <h1>The user-init program</h1>
+ <p>
+ user-init starts a user supervision tree for
+ the user defined in the <code>USER</code>
+ environment variable.
+ </p>
+ <h2>Interface</h2>
+ <pre> user-init</pre>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ user-init takes no arguments.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It reads the <code>USER</code> environment variable,
+ if it is empty it exits 100.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It reads the <code>USERTREE</code> environment variable,
+ if it is empty it exits 100.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It reads the <code>BUNDLE</code> environment variable,
+ defaulting to <code>default</code> if empty.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It reads the <code>PATH</code> environment variable,
+ defaulting to
+ <code>/command:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/libexec:/usr/local/libexec</code>
+ if empty.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ if <code>${USER}/${USERTREE}</code> subdirectory of the
+ <a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/rundir.html">runtime directory</a>
+ olready existis, it exits 100.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It sets the <code>HOME</code> environment variable based on the result of
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/execline/homeof.html">homeof</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It prepends <code>${HOME}/.local/bin:</code> to the <code>PATH</code>
+ environment variable.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It sets the <code>UID</code>, <code>GID</code> and <code>GIDLIST</code>
+ environment variables using
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-envuidgid.html">s6-envuidgid</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It runs
+ <code><a href="./prepare-svscan.html">prepare-svscan</a></code>
+ with the proper arguments.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Finally, it executes into
+ <code><a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-svscan.html">s6-svscan</a></code>
+ on the scandir represented by the
+ <code>${USER}/${USERTREE}/service</code>
+ subdirectory of the
+ <a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/rundir.html#user">user runtime directory</a>.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h2>Exit codes</h2>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ 100 if a critical environment variable is missing.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ user-init usually executes into
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6/s6-svscan.html">s6-svscan</a>
+ which exits according to its documentation.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Since user-init is an
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/execline/">execline</a>
+ script, it exits with an approximation
+ of employed program that failed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ user-init mostly uses
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/execline/">execline</a>
+ and
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6/">s6</a>
+ software, the exit behaviour of which can be looked up on
+ their respective documentation.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ See also:
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/execline/exitcodes.html">execline exit code handling</a>.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h2>Options</h2>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ There are no otions to user-init.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h2>Notes</h2>

+ More information about user supervision trees
+ themselves can be found on the
