Description: Linux Standard Base 3.2 init script functionality
The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is a standard
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can
depend upon.
.
This package only includes the init-functions shell library, which
may be used by other packages' initialization scripts for console
logging and other purposes.
> More and more init script, for instance, use /lib/lsb/init-functions .
Which is the only thing that lsb-base contains.
