-.SH NAME
-rc-depend \ - resolve init script dependencies
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-\fBrc-depend\fR \fI-ineed\fR \fI-iuse\fR \fIservice\fR ...
-.br
-\fBrc-depend\fR \fI--notrace\fR \fI-iprovide\fR \fIservice\fR ...

-\fBrc-depend\fR \fI--update\fR
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Gentoos init system uses service dependencies to depend on other services.
-Rather than just starting in a set order, we start and stop in the order
-defined by the services themselves.
-For example, most services require local disks to be mounted and as such can
-depend on the localmount service. Others depend on and net and dns and will
-only start when those dependencies have been satisfied.
-
-One issue of note is that a service can provide another service, which is more
-generic. A good example of this is that net.lo and any service linked to it
-provide "net", which a few services depend on. You can of course have a few
-network interfaces: modern laptops have 3 being loopback, wired and wireless.
-What makes this more interesting is that it could be setup so that both wired
-and wireless are optional. So we work out provided services like so :-
-
-1) Always use any services in the runlevel.
-.br
-2) If no services are defined in the runlevel then use any running services
-that satisfy the provide.
-.br
-3) Append any services in the boot runlevel.
-
-\fBrc-order\fR is primarily used internally by Gentoo and is not meant as an
-end-user or admin tool. This man page is purely to describe its function.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-\fB--deptree \fIdeptree\fR
-Use this \fIdeptree\fR instead of the default one,
-\fI/lib/rcscripts/init.d/deptree\fR.
-.TP
-\fB--notrace\fR
-Just show the dependencies for the specified services without working out
-anything extra.
-.TP
-\fB--strict\fR
-For provided services, depend on all of them in the runlevel instead of just
-ones that are started.
-.TP
-\fB--update\fR
-Force an update of the dependency tree. Normally this is not needed as we
-automatically update the dependency tree if any files in /etc/init.d or
-/etc/conf.d are newer than the tree.
-.TP
-\fB-dependency_type\fR
-Work with the specified dependency type, such as \fIineed\fR, \fIiafter\fR,
-\fIneedsme\fR.
-If none are supplied we default to \fIineed\fR and \fIiuse\fR.
-.SH NOTES
-When needsme depends on a provided service, like net, we don't do any
-mapping to an actual service unless it's the last one up. So if net.lo and
-net.eth0 are started then neither are returned. If net.eth0 then stops then
-every service that needs net then has net.lo in its needsme list so that
-we net.lo stops it brings down all services that depend on net.
-.SH BUGS
-Provided services are calculated at runtime. The current downside of this
-approach means that if you do "after net; before net.lo" and net.lo provides
-net then you can get into an sticky loop where services hang.
