According to Wikipedia it is customary to specify hardware metrics and transfer speeds to the basis 1000 (SI decimal), while software metrics and physical volatile memory (RAM) sizes to the basis 1024 (IEC binary). So far we specified everything in IEC, let's fix that and be more true to what's otherwise customary. Since we don't want to parse "Mi" instead of "M" we document each time what the context used is.

<para>Unit configuration files for services, slices, scopes,
|
|
sockets, mount points, and swap devices share a subset of
|
|
configuration options for resource control of spawned
|
|
processes. Internally, this relies on the Control Groups
|
|
kernel concept for organizing processes in a hierarchial tree of
|
|
named groups for the purpose of resource management.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This man page lists the configuration options shared by
|
|
those six unit types. See

sections, depending on the unit type.</para>
