<title>Description</title>
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
<literal>.slice</literal> encodes information about a slice
created by systemd to manage resources used by a certain group of
processes. This management is performed by creating a node in the
control group tree. Those processes are part of different units,
usually <literal>.service</literal> units (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
</para>
<para>See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for the common options of all unit configuration
files. The common configuration items are configured
in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
slice specific configuration options are configured in
the [Slice] section. Currently, only generic cgroup settings
as described in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.cgroup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> are allowed.
</para>
<para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=false</varname>
is used, slice units will implicitly have dependencies of
type <varname>Conflicts=</varname> and
<varname>Before=</varname> on
<filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure
that slice units are removed prior to system
shutdown. Only slice units involved with early boot or
late system shutdown should disable this option.
