sulogin(1M)

sulogin -- access single-user mode

Synopsis

sulogin

Description

sulogin is automatically invoked by init when the system is first started. It prompts the user to type the root password to enter system maintenance mode (single-user mode) or to type EOF (typically <Ctrl><D>) for normal startup (multi-user mode). sulogin should never be invoked directly by the user.
