for the unit that is created
The code for parsing these properties is shared with "systemctl
set-property", which means all the resource control settings are
immediately available.

first (or second)
Previously the returned object of constructor functions where sometimes
returned as last, sometimes as first and sometimes as second parameter.
Let's clean this up a bit. Here are the new rules:
1. The object the new object is derived from is put first, if there is any
2. The object we are creating will be returned in the next arguments
3. This is followed by any additional arguments
Rationale:
For functions that operate on an object we always put that object first.
Constructors should probably not be too different in this regard. Also,
if the additional parameters might want to use varargs which suggests to
put them last.
Note that this new scheme only applies to constructor functions, not to
all other functions. We do give a lot of freedom for those.
Note that this commit only changes the order of the new functions we
added, for old ones we accept the wrong order and leave it like that.

creating a transient service
|
|
|

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.

The call is one of the most important ones we expose, where we place
major emphasis on. We should make sure to give it a short, memorable
name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Among other things this makes sure we always expose a --version command
and show it in the help texts.
|
|
|
|
Also, unify the transport logic a bit, since we reuse the same scheme in
many of our client tools.
|
|
Among other things this also adds a few things necessary for the change:
- Considerably more powerful error returning APIs in libsystemd-bus
- Adapter for connecting an sd_bus to an sd_event
- As I reworked the PolicyKit logic to the new library I also made it
asynchronous, so that PolicyKit requests of one user cannot block out
another user anymore.
- We always use the macro names for common bus error. That way it is
harder to mistype them since the compiler will notice

"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.

Transient units can be created via the bus API. They are configured via
the method call parameters rather than on-disk files. They are subject
to normal GC. Transient units currently may only be created for
services (however, we will extend this), and currently only ExecStart=
and the cgroup parameters can be configured (also to be extended).
Transient units require a unique name, that previously had no
configuration file on disk.
A tool systemd-run is added that makes use of this functionality to run
arbitrary command lines as transient services:
$ systemd-run /bin/ping www.heise.de
Will cause systemd to create a new transient service and run ping in it.
