This is the kinit code (and related utilities) extracted from the klibc
project (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git) and made to
build/work without klibc itself. The primary purpose of this is to be used
in initramfs environments, without actually using the other klibc userland.
In Chimera, this is to be used together with bsdutils, which already
provides a reasonably small core userland, but not the kinit utilities.
The klibc project itself is provided under the terms of the MIT license.
However, certain kernel headers are also shipped, which are licensed under
the GPLv2.
This fork uses meson. Therefore, you will need that installed. You will
also need the Linux kernel headers installed.
Quick instructions:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ meson .. --prefix=/usr
$ ninja all
$ ninja install
