Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 3a54a15760 man: use same header for all files
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.

$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n  "http^gms' man/*.xml

<title>Description</title>
<para>The
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
system manager (PID 1) starts user manager instances as
<filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename>, where the user's numerical UID
is used as the instance identifier. Each <command>systemd --user</command> instance manages a
hierarchy of its own units. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
a discussion of systemd units and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for a list of units that form the basis of the unit hierarchies of system and user units.</para>
<para><filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename> is accompanied by the
system unit <filename>user-runtime-dir@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename>, which
creates the user's runtime directory
<filename>/run/user/<replaceable>UID</replaceable></filename>, and then removes it when this
unit is stopped.</para>
<para>User processes may be started by the <filename>user@.service</filename> instance, in which
case they will be part of that unit in the system hierarchy. They may also be started elsewhere,
for example by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sshd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> or a
display manager like <command>gdm</command>, in which case they form a .scope unit (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.scope</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
Both <filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename> and the scope units are
collected under a <filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename>.</para>
<para>Individual <filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename> slices are
collected under <filename>user.slice</filename>, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

<title>Controlling resources for logged-in users</title>
<para>Options that control resources available to logged-in users can be configured at a few
different levels. As described in the previous section, <filename>user.slice</filename> contains
processes of all users, so any resource limits on that slice apply to all users together. The
usual way to configure them would be through drop-ins, e.g. <filename
noindex='true'>/etc/systemd/system/user.slice.d/resources.conf</filename>.
</para>
<para>The processes of a single user are collected under
<filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename>. Resource limits for that user
can be configured through drop-ins for that unit, e.g. <filename
noindex='true'>/etc/systemd/system/user-1000.slice.d/resources.conf</filename>. If the limits
should apply to all users instead, they may be configured through drop-ins for the truncated
unit name, <filename>user-.slice</filename>. For example, configuration in <filename
noindex='true'>/etc/systemd/system/user-.slice.d/resources.conf</filename> is included in all
<filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename> units, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for a discussion of the drop-in mechanism.</para>
<para>When a user logs in and a .scope unit is created for the session (see previous section),
the creation of the scope may be managed through
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pam_systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
This PAM module communicates with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to create the session scope and provide access to hardware resources. Resource limits for the
scope may be configured through the PAM module configuration, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>pam_systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Configuring them through the normal unit configuration is also possible, but since
the name of the slice unit is generally unpredictable, this is less useful.</para>
<para>In general any resources that apply to units may be set for
<filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename> and the slice
units discussed above, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for an overview.</para>
