container. See
<parameter>machine</parameter>, where <parameter>machine</parameter> is the name of a local container,
possibly prefixed by a user name and a separating <literal>@</literal>. If the container name is
specified as the special string <literal>.host</literal> the connection is made to the local system. This
is useful to connect to the local system bus as specific user, e.g. <literal>foobar@.host</literal> to
connect to the local system bus as local user <literal>foobar</literal>. If the <literal>@</literal>
syntax is used either the left-hand side or the right-hand side may be ommited (but not both) in which
case the local user name or <literal>.host</literal> is implied. If the <literal>@</literal> syntax is
not used the connection is always made as root user. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_address</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for a description of the address syntax, and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for more
information about the "machine" concept. Note that connections into local containers are only available
to privileged processes at this time.</para>
