  Description     : alternative boot mechanism that manages the services, startup and shutdown of a host

OpenRC is a dependency based init system that works with the system provided init program, normally /sbin/init. 
It is not a replacement for /sbin/init, but an alternative to /etc/init.d/rc from sysv-rc. OpenRC understands
LSB headers, providing a smooth way to switch back and forth with sysv-rc.
