-h, --help
+
-h, --help
Run the s6 help command. Any given command or subcommand is ignored.
-
-s scandir, --scandir=scandir
+
-s scandir, --scandir=scandir
Use scandir as scan directory (i.e. the directory where s6-svscan runs and supervises service directories).
-
-l livedir, --livedir=livedir
+
-l livedir, --livedir=livedir
Use livedir as live directory (i.e. the directory where s6-rc keeps tabs on the machine state and stores its runtime information).
-
-r repodir, --repodir=repodir
+
-r repodir, --repodir=repodir
Use repodir as s6-rc repository (i.e. the directory where the repo commands of the s6-rc package store and manipulate their service sets).
-
-c bootdb, --bootdb=bootdb
+
-c bootdb, --bootdb=bootdb
Use bootdb as the name of the compiled service database used by s6-rc at boot time (i.e. the directory where s6-rc reads information on how to start all the wanted services).
-
--stmpdir=stmpdir
+
--stmpdir=stmpdir
Use stmpdir to store runtime s6-frontend data and temporary files.
-
--storelist=storelist
+
--storelist=storelist
Use storelist as list of stores.
-
-v verbosity, --verbosity=verbosity
+
-v verbosity, --verbosity=verbosity
Use verbosity as numerical verbosity value.
-
--color=yes|no|auto
+
--color=yes|no|auto
Use fancy output (which may or may not involve color): always if yes, never if no, and only when stdout is a terminal if auto. Not all commands and subcommands will use this setting. Also, for pretty-printing of columns, it is recommended to have built s6-frontend with util-linux support.
+ +
-u, --user
+
Override the variables defined in the configuration file with values +built from XDG environment variables. This option only works if the XDG +environment variables are present in the environment. This option is +useful to address user services. You can see what values are used by +running s6 -u version export.
