     s6-svscanctl [ -zabhitqnN ] scandir

s6-svscanctl sends the given series of commands to the s6-svscan process monitoring the scandir directory, then exits 0. It exits 111 if it cannot send a command, or 100 if no s6-svscan process is running on scandir.

s6-svscanctl writes control commands into the scandir/.s6-svscan/control FIFO. An s6-svscan process running on scandir will be listening to this FIFO, and will read and interpret those commands.
