    usage: oneit [-p] [-c /dev/tty0] command [...]

    Simple init program that runs a single supplied command line with a
    controlling tty (so CTRL-C can kill it).

    -c	Which console device to use (/dev/console doesn't do CTRL-C, etc).
    -p	Power off instead of rebooting when command exits.
    -r	Restart child when it exits.
    -3	Write 32 bit PID of each exiting reparented process to fd 3 of child.
    	(Blocking writes, child must read to avoid eventual deadlock.)

    Spawns a single child process (because PID 1 has signals blocked)
    in its own session, reaps zombies until the child exits, then
    reboots the system (or powers off with -p, or restarts the child with -r).

    Responds to SIGUSR1 by halting the system, SIGUSR2 by powering off,
    and SIGTERM or SIGINT reboot.

// The minimum amount of work necessary to get ctrl-c and such to work is:

// - Fork a child (PID 1 is special: can't exit, has various signals blocked).

// - In the child, attach stdio to /dev/tty0 (/dev/console is special)
// - Exec the rest of the command line.

// PID 1 then reaps zombies until the child process it spawned exits, at which
