Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 7f6e804332 Promote systemd-activate to /usr/bin/systemd-socket-activate
It has fairly wide functionality now and the interface has been
stable for a while. It it a useful testing tool.

The name is changed to better indicate what it does.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-socket-activate</command> may be used to launch a socket-activated service binary from the command
line for testing purposes. It may also be used to launch individual instances of the service binary per connection.
</para>
<para>The daemon to launch and its options should be specified
after options intended for <command>systemd-socket-activate</command>.
</para>
<para>If the <option>--inetd</option> option is given, the socket file descriptor will be used as the standard
input and output of the launched process. Otherwise, standard input and output will be inherited, and sockets will
be passed through file descriptors 3 and higher. Sockets passed through <varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname> to
<command>systemd-socket-activate</command> will be passed through to the daemon, in the original positions. Other sockets
specified with <option>--listen=</option> will use consecutive descriptors. By default,
<command>systemd-socket-activate</command> listens on a stream socket, use <option>--datagram</option> and
<option>--seqpacket</option> to listen on datagram or sequential packet sockets instead (see below).

Multiple entries may be specifies using separate options or by separating names with colons
(<literal>:</literal>) in one option. In case more names are given than descriptors, superflous ones willl be
ignored. In case less names are given than descriptors, the remaining file descriptors will be unnamed.
