OpenRC is a dependency based init system that works with the system provided init program, normally located at /sbin/init. It is not a replacement for /sbin/init. OpenRC is 100% compatible with Gentoo init scripts, which means you can probably find one for the dozens of daemons in the main Gentoo repository. OpenRC, however, is not exclusively used by Gentoo Linux, so the goal is to be platform-agnostic.
