This patch adds more detail to the description of how path escaping
operates and provides a pointer to the systemd-escape program. Either
would serve to answer the question raised in the bug report, so
hopefully this will allow it to be closed.

With this change it is possible to send file descriptors to PID 1, via
sd_pid_notify_with_fds() which PID 1 will store individually for each
service, and pass via the usual fd passing logic on next invocation.
This is useful for enable daemon reload schemes where daemons serialize
their state to /run, push their fds into PID 1 and terminate, restoring
their state on next start from the data in /run and passed in from PID
1.
The fds are kept by PID 1 as long as no POLLHUP or POLLERR is seen on
them, and the service they belong to are either not dead or failed, or
have a job queued.
See bug 87859 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87859). Bug
reporter found the language describing the effect of specifying both a
day and date unclear; hopefully the attached patch will clarify and
allow the bug to be closed.
The handling of the command name and other arguments is unified. This
simplifies things and should make them more predictable for users.
Incidentally, this makes ExecStart handling match the .desktop file
specification, apart for the requirment for an absolute path.

This pulls out the hwdb managment from udevadm into an independent tool.
The old code is left in place for backwards compatibility, and easy of
testing, but all documentation is dropped to encourage use of the new
tool instead.
Also, when booting up an ephemeral container of / use the system
hostname as default machine name.
This way specifiyng -M is unnecessary when booting up an ephemeral
container, while allowing any number of ephemeral containers to run from
the same tree.
This adds --template= to duplicate an OS tree as btrfs snpashot and run
it
This also adds --ephemeral or -x to create a snapshot of an OS tree and
boot that, removing it after exit.
Let's stick to generic sections that describe the general technology,
instead of specific per-object sections, unless we really have a reason
to do that otherwise.
Support timer options --on-active=, --on-boot=, --on-startup=,
--on-unit-active=, --on-unit-inactive=, --on-calendar=. Each options
corresponding with OnActiveSec=, OnBootSec=, OnStartupSec=,
OnUnitActiveSec=, OnUnitInactiveSec=, OnCalendar= of timer
respectively. And OnCalendar= and WakeSystem= supported by
--timer-property= option like --property= of systemd-run.
And if --unit= option and timer options are specified the command can
be omitted. In this case, systemd-run assumes the target service is
already loaded. And just try to generate transient timer unit only.
This patch makes it possible to set extended attributes on files created
by tmpfiles. This can be especially used to set SMACK security labels on
volatile files and directories.
It is done by adding new line of type "t". Such line should contain
attributes in Argument field, using following format:
name=value
All other fields are ignored.
If value contains spaces, then it must be surrounded by quotation marks.
User can also put quotation mark in value by escaping it with backslash.
Example:
D /var/run/cups - - - -
t /var/run/cups - - - - security.SMACK64=printing
This has been requested repeatedly, so let's give it a go. We explicitly do not allow matching
on names that have already been changed (from a previous udev run, or otherwise), and matching
on unpredictable names (ethX) is discouraged (but not currently disallowed).
We also currently allow:
[Match]
Name=veth0
[Link]
Name=my-name0
SomeOtherSetting=true
Which means that the link file will be applied the first time it is invoked, but
not on subsequent invocations, which may be surprising.
