[gentoo-user] Init sequence

[Sergio Polini]

I'ld like to know how the sequence of init scripts is set up.
There are such functions as after() and before() (f.i., in net.lo), 
and commands like before, need, after in depend() functions (f.i., in 
cupsd).
I'ld like to understand:
- what's the difference between after/before commands and functions;
- where/how the commands' arguments (f.i., net in use net, nfs in 
before nfs, etc.) are defined.
Moreover, I'd like to know if it's possible to verify the actual 
sequence of the init scripts. I can look at the commands that a make 
command would execute but do not execute them, or at the problems 
reported by fsck avoiding to repair them, by the -n option.
Could I check an init sequence in a similar way?
Thanks
Sergio
