This is the same as Abandon() on the Scope object, but saves clients
from first translating a unit name into a unit object path. This logic
matches how all the other unit methods have counterparts on the Manager
object too (e.g. StopUnit() on the Manager object matching Stop() on the
Unit object), this one was simply forgotten so far.
These lines are generally out-of-date, incomplete and unnecessary. With
SPDX and git repository much more accurate and fine grained information
about licensing and authorship is available, hence let's drop the
per-file copyright notice. Of course, removing copyright lines of others
is problematic, hence this commit only removes my own lines and leaves
all others untouched. It might be nicer if sooner or later those could
go away too, making git the only and accurate source of authorship
information.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This majorly refactors the transient unit file and drop-in writing
logic, so that we properly C-escape and specifier-escape (% → %%)
everything we write out, so that when we read it back again, specifiers
are parsed that aren't supposed to be parsed.
This renames unit_write_drop_in() and friends by unit_write_setting().
The name change is supposed to clarify that the functions are not only
used to write drop-in files, but also transient unit files.
The previous "mode" parameter to this function is replaced by a more
generic "flags", which knows additional flags for implicit C-style and
specifier escaping before writing things out. This can cover most
properties where either form of escaping is defined. For the cases where
this isn't sufficient, we add helpers unit_escape_setting() and
unit_concat_strv() for escaping individual strings or strvs properly.
While we are at it, we also prettify generation of transient unit files:
we try to reduce the number of section headers written out: previously
we'd write the right section header our for each setting. With this
change we do so only if the setting lives in a different section than
the one before.
(This should also be considered preparation for when we add proper APIs
to systemd to write normal, persistant unit files through the bus API)
This watches controllers on the bus, and unsets them automatically when
they disappear.
Note that this is primarily a cosmetical fix. Since unique bus names are not
recycled, there's strictly no need to forget about them, but it's a lot
nicer to do so.
By specifiy a Controller property when creating the scope a client can
specify a bus name that will be notified with a RequestStop bus signal
when the scope has been asked to shut down, instead of sending SIGTERM
to the scope processes themselves.

This patch converts PID 1 to libsystemd-bus and thus drops the
dependency on libdbus. The only remaining code using libdbus is a test
case that validates our bus marshalling against libdbus' marshalling,
and this dependency can be turned off.
This patch also adds a couple of things to libsystem-bus, that are
necessary to make the port work:
- Synthesizing of "Disconnected" messages when bus connections are
severed.
- Support for attaching multiple vtables for the same interface on the
same path.
This patch also fixes the SetDefaultTarget() and GetDefaultTarget() bus
calls which used an inappropriate signature.
As a side effect we will now generate PropertiesChanged messages which
carry property contents, rather than just invalidation information.
"Scope" units are very much like service units, however with the
difference that they are created from pre-existing processes, rather
than processes that systemd itself forks off. This means they are
generated programmatically via the bus API as transient units rather
than from static configuration read from disk. Also, they do not provide
execution-time parameters, as at the time systemd adds the processes to
the scope unit they already exist and the parameters cannot be applied
anymore.
The primary benefit of this new unit type is to create arbitrary cgroups
for worker-processes forked off an existing service.
This commit also adds a a new mode to "systemd-run" to run the specified
processes in a scope rather then a transient service.
