 plymouth - graphical boot animation and logger
 
-Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the
-root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot
-process happens in the background.

-It is designed to work on systems with DRM modesetting drivers.  The idea is
-that early on in the boot process the native mode for the computer is set, plymouth
-uses that mode, and that mode stays throughout the entire boot process up to and
-after X starts.  Ideally, the goal is to get rid of all flicker during startup.

-In either text or graphics mode, the boot messages are completely occluded.  After
-the root file system is mounted read-write, the messages are dumped to
-/var/log/boot.log.  Also, the user can see the messages at any time during
-boot up by hitting the escape key.

-Plymouth isn't really designed to be built from source by end users.  For it to work

-it needs to be packed into the distribution's initial ram disk, and the distribution
-needs to poke plymouth to tell it how boot is progressing.

-In the scripts/ directory there is a shell script that attempts to unpack an existing
-initrd, add plymouth, and pack it back up.  It's not a complete solution, though, it's
-more for debugging/testing and will probably only work on Fedora based systems.
+plymouth ships with two binaries: /sbin/plymouthd and /bin/plymouth
 
-plymouth ships with two binaries: /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouthd and /usr/bin/plymouth
+The first one, plymouthd, does all the heavy lifting. It logs the session and shows the splash screen. The second one, /bin/plymouth, is the control interface to plymouthd.

+It supports things like plymouth --show-splash, or plymouth --ask-for-password, which trigger the associated action in plymouthd.

+plymouth supports various "splash" plugins which are analagous to screensavers, but happen at boot time.  Currently there are three graphical splash plugins: solar, fade-in, and spinfinity.  There are also three non-graphical plugins which are for text mode and the detailed view.

+The graphical plugins need a logo image and background color to function.  Distributions are expected to set these up in their packages at ./configure time, but there are some placeholder values set up if ./configure doesn't get those options.

-Plymouth isn't done yet.  It's still under active development and isn't ready for
-distros to use as-is.  That should change in the near future though.
