[Bug 1433633] Re: "init --version" does not work

[Nick Rosbrook]

>From systemd(1):

For compatibility with SysV, if the binary is called as init and is not
the first process on the machine (PID is not 1), it will execute telinit
and pass all command line arguments unmodified. That means init and
telinit are mostly equivalent when invoked from normal login sessions.
See telinit(8) for more information.

Looking at telinit(8), there is no --version flag. I think things are
working as expected.

(I realize the man pages may have changed over time, just doing some bug
cleanup).

Title:
  "init --version" does not work

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  According to init(1), --version is expected to work. But instead I
  get:

  $ init --version
  init: unrecognized option '--version'

  As we switch from upstart to systemd, I wanted to check which I was
  running, and this seemed like an obvious way to do it.
