The general rule is: - code in shared/ should take an "original_root" argument (possibly NULL) and pass it along down to chase_symlinks - code in core/ should always use specify original_root==NULL, since we don't support running the manager from non-root directory - code in systemctl and other tools should pass arg_root. For any code that is called from tools which support --root, chase_symlinks must be used to look up paths.
