init(3erl)

💅 init(3erl) — Erlang Module Definition 🎀

okay bestie, so this is the init page from the Erlang manual — the "Erlang Module Definition" vibe, yk? it's short. like, suspiciously short. but we're gonna get into it anyway because that's just the kind of girlies we are ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

init — literally the coordination of system startup, no cap 👑

Like, imagine the whole system waking up in the morning and someone has to be the responsible one who makes sure everybody's up and dressed and ready. That's this module's whole thing. main character energy fr fr 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, and it's giving "plot twist nobody asked for" 😭

This module is moved to the ERTS application.

that's it. that's the whole description. the entire module said "i'm moving out" and left. it's not here anymore, bestie — it lives in ERTS now. so if you're looking for it in kernel, that's a no. it packed its bags, changed its address, and is thriving elsewhere 💅✨

⚠️ lowkey important: don't go looking for init in the kernel app expecting it to be there — the docs are literally telling you it's moved to ERTS. that's the whole point of this page. it's a "hey, they moved" note, not a whole manual, and honestly? iconic behaviour 🧚

so yeah — if you came here for a big juicy module definition, this is one of those pages that's basically a forwarding address 🎀 not me expecting a full synopsis and getting a two-sentence goodbye 💀

⭐ the cute little sign-off ⭐

this page is brought to you by Ericsson AB 💖 — shipped as part of kernel 8.5.4.2, and you're reading the init(3erl) page in all its tiny glory. short, sweet, moved to ERTS, and honestly? we respect the brevity. slay, i guess 🌈🫶

bye bestie, go check ERTS 💜
