I expect you're being deliberately obtuse.

It does not explain which program loader interprets line 1 of findif.sh:
"#!/bin/sh" when it is invoked from line 69 of IPAddr2 RA:

. ${OCF_FUNCTIONS_DIR}/findif.sh

https://github.com/ClusterLabs/resource-agents/blob/master/heartbeat/IPaddr2
https://github.com/ClusterLabs/resource-agents/blob/master/heartbeat/findif.sh

Similarly, I have not read the code so I don't know who invokes IPArrd2
and how exactly they do it. If you tell me it makes the kernel look at
the magic number and spawn whatever shell's specified there, I believe you.

Well 2 out of 3 is "most", can't argue with that.
