Also known as learning Zig while re-writing systemd (kinda).

TODO

This project provides its required dependencies in a development environment via Nix.
You can use it in different ways:

Simply run nix-shell in the directory with a recent nixpkgs channel, and it will spawn you a shell with the proper environment.

The modern nix-command flake-y equivalent to nix-shell, simply run nix develop and the shell will appear.

A .envrc file is provided for convenience, that will automatically update your shell environment using the nix flake.

Simply run zig build and it'll compile and statically link both the init and xd executables in ./zig-out/bin.
