For some unit types we have hundreds of options, and the reader may easily miss that more options are described in other pages. We already mentioned this in the introduction and then at the top of the option list, but it can't hurt to repeat the information. Also, add an (almost empty) Options section for the unit types which don't have any custom options. It is nicer to have the same page structure in all cases, so people can jump between pages for different types more easily.

<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

|

<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.
