<para><command>systemd-fsckd</command> receives messages about file
system check progress from <command>systemd-fsck</command> through a
UNIX domain socket. It can display the progress of the least advanced
fsck as well as the total number of devices being checked in parallel
to the console. It will also send progress messages to plymouth.
Both the raw data and translated messages are sent, so compiled
plymouth themes can use the raw data to display custom messages, and
scripted themes, not supporting i18n, can display the translated
versions.</para>

<para><command>systemd-fsckd</> will instruct plymouth to grab
Control+C keypresses. When the key is pressed, running checks will be
terminated. It will also cancel any newly connected fsck instances for
the lifetime of <filename>systemd-fsckd</filename>.</para>

This raises an intereseting question. IIUC, fsckd will exit on idle
after 30s, losing the information that ^C was pressed. Shouldn't
the exit-on-idle be raised to something bigger like 5 minutes, to
make this less likely to happen?

Does it actually use libplymouth?

Please add something like project='man-pages' (needs to be checked) to citerefentry,
so the links are correct in html version.
