+ <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.
