NetBSD uses individual scripts for controlling services, similar to what System V does, but without runlevels. This chapter is an overview of the rc.d system and its configuration.

     rcorder is designed to print out a dependency ordering of a set of inter-
     dependent files.  Typically it is used to find an execution sequence for
     a set of shell scripts in which certain files must be executed before
     others.

     Each file passed to rcorder should be annotated with special lines (which
     look like comments to the shell) which indicate the dependencies the
     files have upon certain points in the sequence, known as ``conditions'',
     and which indicate, for each file, which ``conditions'' may be expected
     to be filled by that file.

     Within each file, a block containing a series of ``REQUIRE'',
     ``PROVIDE'', ``BEFORE'' and ``KEYWORD'' lines should appear.  The format
     of the lines is rigid.  Each line must begin with a single ``#'', fol-
     lowed by a single space, followed by ``PROVIDE:'', ``REQUIRE:'',
     ``BEFORE:'', or ``KEYWORD:''.  No deviation is permitted.  Each depen-
     dency line is then followed by a series of conditions, separated by
     whitespace.  Multiple ``PROVIDE'', ``REQUIRE'', ``BEFORE'' and
     ``KEYWORD'' lines may appear, but all such lines must appear in a
     sequence without any intervening lines, as once a line that does not fol-
     low the format is reached, parsing stops.
