804ee07c13 Use "dollar-single-quotes" to escape shell-sensitive strings
Also called "ANSI-C Quoting" in info:(bash) ANSI-C Quoting.

The escaping rules are a POSIX proposal, and are described in
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=249. There's a lot of back-and-forth on
the details of escaping of control characters, but we'll be only using a small
subset of the syntax that is common to all proposals and is widely supported.
Unfortunately dash and fish and maybe some other shells do not support it (see
the man page patch for a list).

This allows environment variables to be safely exported using show-environment
and imported into the shell. Shells which do not support this syntax will have
to do something like
    export $(systemctl show-environment|grep -v '=\$')
or whatever is appropriate in their case. I think csh and fish do not support
the A=B syntax anyway, so the change is moot for them.

Fixes #5536.

v2:
- also escape newlines (which currently disallowed in shell values, so this
  doesn't really matter), and tabs (as $'\t'), and ! (as $'!'). This way quoted
  output can be included directly in both interactive and noninteractive bash.

bef19548a2 systemctl: restore --failed (#5198)
'systemctl --failed' is an extremely common operation and it's nice to have
a shortcut for it.

Revert "man: don't document systemctl --failed" and add the option back to
systemctl's help and shell completion scripts.

This reverts commit 036359ba8d.

ab8864ebc3 man: provide a basic guide to the systemctl status output (#4950)
- Show example of all `systemctl status` output and documents what possible
   "Loaded:", "Active" and "Enabled" values mean.

 - Documents what different colors of the dot mean.

 - Documents "gotcha" with load-on-demand behavior which will report units as
   "loaded" even if they are only loaded to show their status.

6539dd7c42 Document how restart actions work (#5052)
When a user is trying to understand what is going on with a restart action, it is useful to explicitly describe how the action is run. It may seem obvious, but it is helpful to be explicit so one knows there isn't a special ExecRestart= or similar option that they could be looking at.

1eecafb8c1 man: use unicode ellipsis in more places
As requested in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/4864#pullrequestreview-12372557.

docbook will substitute triple dots for the ellipsis in man output, so this has
no effect on the troff output, only on HTML, making it infinitesimally nicer.

In some places we show output from programs, which use dots, and those places
should not be changed. In some tables, the alignment would change if dots were
changed to the ellipsis which is only one character. Since docbook replaces the
ellipsis automatically, we should leave those be. This patch changes all other
places.

3b3557c410 shared, systemctl: teach is-enabled to show installation targets
It may be desired by users to know what targets a particular service is
installed into. Improve user friendliness by teaching the is-enabled
command to show such information when used with --full.

This patch makes use of the newly added UnitFileFlags and adds
UNIT_FILE_DRY_RUN flag into it. Since the API had already been modified,
it's now easy to add the new dry-run feature for other commands as
well. As a next step, --dry-run could be added to systemctl, which in
turn might pave the way for a long requested dry-run feature when
running systemctl start.

05a98afd3e core: add Ref()/Unref() bus calls for units
This adds two (privileged) bus calls Ref() and Unref() to the Unit interface.
The two calls may be used by clients to pin a unit into memory, so that various
runtime properties aren't flushed out by the automatic GC. This is necessary
to permit clients to race-freely acquire runtime results (such as process exit
status/code or accumulated CPU time) on successful service termination.

Ref() and Unref() are fully recursive, hence act like the usual reference
counting concept in C. Taking a reference is a privileged operation, as this
allows pinning units into memory which consumes resources.

Transient units may also gain a reference at the time of creation, via the new
AddRef property (that is only defined for transient units at the time of
creation).

93f07c8789 man: use "search for unit"
To "search something", in the meaning of looking for it, is valid,
but "search _for_ something" is much more commonly used, especially when
the meaning could be confused with "looking _through_ something"
(for some other object).

(C.f. "the police search a person", "the police search for a person".)

Also reword the rest of the paragraph to avoid using "automatically"
three times.

3990961df0 man: update systemctl man page for unit file commands, in particular "systemctl enable"
Clarify that "systemctl enable" can operate either on unit names or on unit
file paths (also, adjust the --help text to clarify this). Say that "systemctl
enable" on unit file paths also links the unit into the search path.

Many other fixes.

This should improve the documentation to avoid further confusion around #3706.

39207373dd systemctl,pid1: do not warn about missing install info with "preset"
When "preset" was executed for a unit without install info, we'd warn similarly
as for "enable" and "disable". But "preset" is usually called for all units,
because the preset files are provided by the distribution, and the units are under
control of individual programs, and it's reasonable to call "preset" for all units
rather then try to do it only for the ones that can be installed.
We also don't warn about missing info for "preset-all". Thus it seems reasonable
to silently ignore units w/o install info when presetting.

(In addition, when more than one unit was specified, we'd issue the warning
only if none of them had install info. But this is probably something to fix
for enable/disable too.)

aabf5d4243 systemctl: rename "reload-or-try-restart" verb to "try-reload-or-restart"
But also keep the old name as (undocumented) compatibility around.

The reload-or-try-restart was documented to be a NOP if the unit is not running, since the previous commits this is
also implemented. The old name suggests that the "try" logic only applies to restarting. Fix this, by moving the "try-"
to the front, to indicate that the whole option is a NOP if the service isn't running.

e9fd88f2e9 core: allow 'SetUnitProperties()' to run on inactive units too
'set-property' has been primarly designed to change some properties of
*active* units.

However it can easily work on inactive units as well. In that case
changes are only saved in a drop-in for futur uses and changes will be
effective when unit will be started.

Actually it already works on inactive units but that was not
documented and not fully supported. Indeed the inactive units had to
be known by the manager otherwise it was reported as not loaded:

 $ systemctl status my-test.service
 * my-test.service - My Testing Unit
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/my-test.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
   Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/my-test.service.d
    Active: inactive (dead)

 $ systemctl set-property my-test.service MemoryLimit=1000000
 Failed to set unit properties on my-test.service: Unit my-test.service is not loaded.

[ Note: that the unit load state reported by the 'status' command
  might be confusing since it claimed the unit as loaded but
  'set-property' reported the contrary. ]

One can possibily workaround this by making the unit a dependency of
another active unit so the manager will keep it around:

 $ systemctl add-wants multi-user.target my-test.service
 Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/my-test.service to /etc/systemd/system/my-test.service.

 $ systemctl set-property my-test.service MemoryLimit=1000000

 $ systemctl status my-test.service
 * my-test.service - My Testing Unit
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/my-test.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/my-test.service.d
            `-50-MemoryLimit.conf
    Active: inactive (dead)

This patch simply forces 'SetUnitProperties()' to load the unit if
it's not already the case.

It also documents the fact that 'set-property' can be used on inactive
units.
