Hey, it's almost exactly what sd_notify() does. Instead of one character,
it writes "READY=1" to a socket. Nothing more, no D-Bus, no additional
libraries needed. In basic form it few lines of C code.
Of course https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/0e4061c4d5de6b41326740ee8f8f13c168eea28d/src/libsystemd-daemon/sd-daemon.c#L414
looks much worse, but it packs more functionality than simply
readiness signalling.
