-Example usages:
-@example
-/sbin/sleeping-getty 15 /sbin/got tty15 TERM=linux
-
-/sbin/sleeping-getty 16 /sbin/got tty16 TERM=linux
-
-/sbin/sleeping-getty 20 /sbin/agetty -8 -s 38400 tty20 linux
-@end example
-
-The first argument shall be the number of the
-virtual terminal the process waits for to be
-be brought to the foreground.
-
-The second argument shall be pathname of the
-getty program that shall be started once the
-virtual terminal is in the foreground. Note
-that @env{PATH} is probably not set up, and
-a full pathname is required.
-
-The rest of the arguments shall be those that
-are passed to the getty program.
-
-For example,
-@example
-/sbin/sleeping-getty 15 /sbin/got tty15 TERM=linux
-@end example
-@noindent
-shall wait for virtual terminal number 15
-(on which you will find @file{/dev/tty15})
-to become active. Then the processes is
-switch to, without forking,
-@command{/sbin/got tty15 TERM=linux},
-which is Gates of Tartaros on @file{/dev/tty15}
-with the environment variable @env{TERM} set
-to @command{linux}.
-
-Note that @command{sleeping-getty} works on
-VT:s, not TTY:s. It cannot wait for a serial
-console to become, active, only virtual terminals.
-
-Also note, @command{sleeping-getty} does not acquire
-the TTY. That would be a waste of CPU cycles. This
-means, if naïvely used, that if you start your
-computer, log in on @file{tty1}, and start @command{X},
-and have @command{startx} configured to start @command{X}
-on the next available VT. @command{X} will start on
-VT@tie{}2. This is probably not want you want. Instead
-you should edit startx to ensure that a VT lower than
-a preferred number (customarily 7) will not be used.

-@command{sleeping-getty} waits until a selected
-virtual terminal is brought to the foreground.
-Then, or if the process started with this
-virtual terminal in the foreground, the process
-changes image to a getty program.
-
-This is used to save CPU cycles during boot
-to get a smoother boot, which is important if
-your getty program does a lot of things, or if
-your computer is not too powerful. It also
-reduces the memory footprint.
