I'm not sure if the LogTarget property is sufficiently general to be made into
a property that can be generally implemented. It is very closely tied to the internal
systemd logic. The other two seem fine thoough.
This has the advantage that the executables are always in place and we don't
need any units to exist on the bus, so we can eventually hook this up into
a normal build system. (Probably as a build time check.)
For units which are aliases of other units, reporting preset status as
"enabled" is rather misleading. For example, dbus.service is an alias of
dbus-broker.service. In list-unit-files we'd show both as "enabled". In
particular, systemctl preset ignores aliases, so showing any preset status at
all is always going to be misleading. Let's introduce a new state "alias" and
use that for all aliases.
I was trying to avoid adding a new state, to keep compatibility with previous
behaviour, but for alias unit files it simply doesn't seem very useful to show
any of the existing states. It seems that the clearly showing that those are
aliases for other units will be easiest to understand for users.
5238d9a83a renames this to exit-status, but systemd.service was not
updated.
The rest of the doc seems a bit inconsistent in its use of the terms
"exit code" and "exit status", but it's not that confusing, so leave
those alone for now.
We probably can migrate even more, but for now let's just migrate those
which have the 1:1 identical text everywhere.
(Also, let's add the % entry to all specifier tables)
Add note for change of behaviour in systemd-notify, where parent pid trick
is only used when --no-block is passed, and with enough privileges ofcourse.
Also, fix a small error in systemd(1).
This adds the sd_notify_barrier function, to allow users to synchronize against
the reception of sd_notify(3) status messages. It acts as a synchronization
point, and a successful return gurantees that all previous messages have been
consumed by the manager. This can be used to eliminate race conditions where
the sending process exits too early for systemd to associate its PID to a
cgroup and attribute the status message to a unit correctly.
systemd-notify now uses this function for proper notification delivery and be
useful for NotifyAccess=all units again in user mode, or in cases where it
doesn't have a control process as parent.
Fixes: #2739
A service can specify FDSTORE=1 FDPOLL=0 to request that PID1 does not
poll the fd to remove them on error. If set, fds will only be removed on
FDSTOREREMOVE=1 or when the service is done.
Fixes: #12086
With cgroup v2 the cgroup freezer is implemented as a cgroup
attribute called cgroup.freeze. cgroup can be frozen by writing "1"
to the file and kernel will send us a notification through
"cgroup.events" after the operation is finished and processes in the
cgroup entered quiescent state, i.e. they are not scheduled to
run. Writing "0" to the attribute file does the inverse and process
execution is resumed.
This commit exposes above low-level functionality through systemd's DBus
API. Each unit type must provide specialized implementation for these
methods, otherwise, we return an error. So far only service, scope, and
slice unit types provide the support. It is possible to check if a
given unit has the support using CanFreeze() DBus property.
Note that DBus API has a synchronous behavior and we dispatch the reply
to freeze/thaw requests only after the kernel has notified us that
requested operation was completed.
It turns out that our man page didn't describe the handling of single-label
names almost at all. This probably adds to the confusion regarding the subject.
So let's first describe what our current implementation is doing.
Quoting https://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents/2013-2/iab-statement-dotless-domains-considered-harmful/:

Current behaviour is in line with that recommendation.
For #13763.
Anyone previously using the UseRoutes=false parameter expected their
dhcp4-provided gateway route to be ignored, as well. However, with
the introduction of the UseGateway= parameter, this is no longer true.
In order to keep backwards compatibility, this sets the UseGateway=
default value to whatever UseRoutes= has been set to.
It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite
the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version
does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and
>1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular
spelling choice.
We use udev to wait for /dev/loopX devices to be fully proped hence we
need an implicit ordering dependency on it, for RootImage= to work
reliably in early boot, too.

This is useful to raise the log level for a single transaction or a few,
without affecting other state of the resolved as a restart would.
The log level can only be set, I didn't bother with having the ability
to restore the original as in pid1.
Add manpages.debian.org as a man citeref "project", so we can refer to man
pages hosted there. resolvconf(8) doesn't seem to appear on any of the ones we
currently have defined.
We are doing a trick, where our man page is installed as resolvconf(1), and
we refer the reader to resolvconf(8). This can be pretty confusing, so the
least we can do is to provide a non-broken symlink ;)
v2:
- link to manpages.d.o instead of manpages.ubuntu.com, because debian is the
upstream here, and because with debian we can use /unstable/ as the version,
and ubuntu doesn't seem to have any such shortcut, so the version would need
to be periodically updated.
