Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the extended header to avoid any doubt. I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in <literal>.slice</literal> encodes information about a slice
|
|
unit. A slice unit is a concept for hierarchically managing resources of a group of processes. This management is
|
|
performed by creating a node in the Linux Control Group (cgroup) tree. Units that manage processes (primarily scope
|
|
and service units) may be assigned to a specific slice. For each slice, certain resource limits may be set that
|
|
apply to all processes of all units contained in that slice. Slices are organized hierarchically in a tree. The
|
|
name of the slice encodes the location in the tree. The name consists of a dash-separated series of names, which
|
|
describes the path to the slice from the root slice. The root slice is named <filename>-.slice</filename>. Example:
|
|
<filename>foo-bar.slice</filename> is a slice that is located within <filename>foo.slice</filename>, which in turn
|
|
is located in the root slice <filename>-.slice</filename>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that slice units cannot be templated, nor is possible to add multiple names to a slice unit by creating
|
|
additional symlinks to its unit file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>By default, service and scope units are placed in
|
|
<filename>system.slice</filename>, virtual machines and containers

|
registered with
|
|

|
handled by
|
|

in <filename>user.slice</filename>. See

|
|
|
<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 resource control settings
|
|
as described in
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> are allowed.
