+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.ft
+.\"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\"
+The service description files for \fBDinit\fR each describe a service. The name
+of the file corresponds to the name of the service it describes.
+.LP
+Service description files specify the various attributes of a service. A
+service description file is named after the service it represents, and is
+a plain-text file with simple key-value format. The description files are
+located in the service description directory (which defaults to
+\fI/etc/dinit.d\fR for the system process).
+.LP
+All services have a \fItype\fR and a set of \fIdependencies\fR. Service
+types are discussed in the following subsection. If a service depends on
+another service, then starting the first service causes the second to start
+also (and the second service must complete its startup before the first
+is considered started). Similarly, if one service depends on another which
+becomes stopped, the first service must also stop.
+.\"
+.SS SERVICE TYPES
+.\"
+There are four basic types of service:
+.IP \(bu
+\fBProcess\fR services. This kind of service runs as a single process; starting
+the service simply requires starting the process; stopping the service is
+accomplished by stopping the process (via sending it a signal).
+.IP \(bu
+\fBBgprocess\fR services ("background process" services). This kind of
+service is similar to a regular process service, but the process daemonizes
+or otherwise forks from the original process which starts it, and the
+process ID is written to a file. Dinit can read the process ID from the
+file and, if it is running as the system init process, can supervise it.
+.IP \(bu
+\fBScripted\fR services are services which are started and stopped by a
+command (which need not actually be a script, despite the name). They can
+not be supervised.
+.IP \(bu
+\fBInternal\fR services do not run as an external process at all. They can
+be started and stopped without any external action. They are useful for
+grouping other services (via service dependencies).
+.\"
+.SS SERVICE PROPERTIES
+.\"
+This section described the various service properties that can be specified
+in a service description file. Each line of the file can specify a single
+property value, expressed as "\fIproperty-name\fR = \fIvalue\fR". Comments
+begin with a hash mark (#) and extend to the end of the line (they must be
+separated from setting values by at least one whitespace character). Values
+are interpreted literally, except that:
+.\"
+.IP \(bu
+White space (comprised of spaces, tabs, etc) is collapsed to a single space.
+.IP \(bu
+Double quotes (") can be used around all or part of a property value, to
+prevent whitespace collapse and prevent interpretation of other special
+characters (such as "#") inside the quotes. The quote characters are not
+considered part of the parameter value.
+.IP \(bu
+A backslash (\\) can be used to escape the next character, causing it to
+lose any special meaning and become part of the property value. A double
+backslash (\\\\) is collapsed to a single backslash within the parameter
+value.
+.LP
+The following properties can be specified:
+.TP
+\fBtype\fR = {process | bgprocess | scripted | internal}
+Specifies the service type.
+.TP
+\fBcommand\fR = \fIcommand-string\fR
+Specifies the command, including command-line arguments, for starting the
+process. Applies only to \fBprocess\fR, \fBbgprocess\fR and \fBscripted\fR
+services.
+.TP
+\fBstop\-command\fR = \fIcommand-string\fR
+Specifies the command to stop the service. Applicable only to \fBscripted\fR
+services.
+.TP
+\fBrun-as\fR = \fIuser-id\fR
+Specifies which user to run the process(es) for this service as. The group id
+for the process will also be set to the primary group of the specified user.
+.TP
+\fBrestart\fR = {yes | true | no | false}
+Indicates whether the service should automatically restart if it stops for
+any reason (including unexpected process termination, service dependency
+stopping, or user-initiated service stop).
+.TP
+\fBsmooth-recovery\fR = {yes | true | no | false}
+Applies only to \fBprocess\fR and \fBbgprocess\fR services. When set true/yes,
+an automatic process restart can be performed without first stopping any
+dependent services. This setting is meaningless if the \fBrestart\fR setting
+is set to false.
+.TP
+\fBrestart-delay\fR = \fIXXX.YYYY\fR
+Specifies the minimum time between automatic restarts. Enforcing a sensible
+minimum prevents Dinit from consuming a large number of process cycles in
+case a process continuously fails immediately after it is started. The
+default is 0.2 (200 milliseconds).
+.TP
+\fBrestart-limit-interval\fR = \fIXXX.YYYY\fR
+Sets the interval, in seconds, over which restarts are limited. If a process
+automatically restarts more than a certain number of times (specified by the
+\fBrestart-limit-count\fR setting) in this time interval, it will not restart
+again. The default value is 10 seconds.
+.TP
+\fBrestart-limit-count\fR = \fINNN\fR
+Specifies the maximum number of times that a service can automatically restart
+over the interval specified by \fBrestart-limit-interval\fR. Specify a value
+of 0 to disable the restart limit.
+.TP
+\fBstart-timeout\fR = \fIXXX.YYY\fR
+Specifies the time in seconds allowed for the service to start. If the
+service takes longer than this, its process group is sent a SIGINT signal
+and enters the "stopping" state (this may be subject to a stop timeout, as
+specified via \fBstop-timeout\fR, after which the process group will be
+terminated via SIGKILL). The timeout period begins only when all dependencies
+have been stopped. The default timeout is 60 seconds. Specify a value of 0 to
+allow unlimited start time.
+.TP
+\fBstop-timeout\fR = \fIXXX.YYY\fR
+Specifies the time in seconds allowed for the service to stop. If the
+service takes longer than this, its process group is sent a SIGKILL signal
+which should cause it to terminate immediately. The timeout period begins
+only when all dependent services have already stopped. The default
+timeout is 10 seconds. Specify a value of 0 to allow unlimited stop time.
+.TP
+\fBpid-file\fR = \fIpath-to-file\fR
+For \fBbgprocess\fR type services only; specifies the path of the file where
+daemon will write its process ID before detaching. Dinit will read the
+contents of this file when starting the service, once the initial process
+exits, will supervise the process with the discovered process ID, and may
+send signals to the process ID to stop the service; if Dinit runs as a
+privileged user the path should therefore not be writable by unprivileged
+users.
+.TP
+\fBdepends-on\fR = \fIservice-name\fR
+This service depends on the named service. Starting this service will start
+the named service; the command to start this service will not be executed
+until the named service has started. If the named service is stopped then
+this service will also be stopped.
+.TP
+\fBdepends-ms\fR = \fIservice-name\fR
+This service has a "milestone" dependcy on the named service. Starting this
+service will start the named service; the command to start this service will
+not be executed until the named service has started. If the named service is
+stopped then the dependency is dropped until this service is next started.
+.TP
+\fBwaits-for\fR = \fIservice-name\fR
+When this service is started, wait for the named service to finish starting
+(or to fail starting) before commencing the start procedure for this service.
+Starting this service will automatically start the named service. If the
+named service fails to start, this service will start as usual (subject to
+other dependencies being met).
+.TP
+\fBsocket-listen\fR = \fIsocket-path\fR
+Pre-open a socket for the service and pass it to the service using the
+\fBsystemd\fR activation protocol. This by itself does not give so called
+"socket activation", but does allow that any process trying to connect to the
+specified socket will be able to do so, even before the service is properly
+prepared to accept connections.
+.TP
+\fBsocket-permissions\fR = \fIoctal-permissions-mask\fR
+Gives the permissions for the socket specified using \fBsocket-listen\fR.
+Normally this will be 600 (user access only), 660 (user and group
+access), or 666 (all users). The default is 666.
+.TP
+\fBsocket-uid\fR = {\fInumeric-user-id\fR | \fIusername\fR}
+Specifies the user that should own the activation socket. If
+\fBsocket-uid\fR is specified without also specifying \fBsocket-gid\fR, then
+the socket group is the primary group of the specified user (as found in the
+system user database, normally \fI/etc/passwd\fR). If the socket owner is not
+specified, the socket will be owned by the user id of the Dinit process.
+.TP
+\fBsocket-gid\fR = {\fInumeric-group-id\fR | \fIgroup-name\fR}
+Specifies the group of the activation socket. See discussion of
+\fBsocket-uid\fR.
+.TP
+\fBtermsignal\fR = {HUP | INT | QUIT | USR1 | USR2}
+Specifies an additional signal to send to the process when requesting it
+to terminate (applies to 'process' services only). SIGTERM is always
+sent along with the specified signal, unless the \fBnosigterm\fR option is
+specified via the \fBoptions\fR parameter.
+.TP
+\fBlogfile\fR = \fIlog-file-path\fR
+Specifies the log file for the service. Output from the service process
+will go this file.
+.TP
+\fBoptions\fR = \fIoption\fR...
+Specifies various options for this service. See the \fBOPTIONS\fR section.
+.\"
+.SS OPTIONS
+.\"
+These options are specified via the \fBoptions\fR parameter.
+.\"
+.TP
+\fBno-sigterm\fR
+specifies that the TERM signal should not be send to the process to terminate
+it. (Another signal can be specified using the \fBtermsignal\fR setting; if no
+other signal is specified, no signal will be sent, which usually means that
+the service will not terminate).
+.TP
+\fBruns-on-console\fR
+specifies that this service uses the console; its input and output should be
+directed to the console (or precisely, to the device to which Dinit's standard
+output stream is connected). A service running on the console prevents other
+services from running on the console (they will queue for the console).
+
+The \fIinterrupt\fR key (normally control-C) will be active for process / scripted
+services that run on the console. Handling of an interrupt is determined by
+the service process, but typically will cause it to terminate.
+.TP
+\fBstarts-on-console\fR
+specifies that this service uses the console during service startup. This is
+implied by \fBruns-on-console\fR, but can be specified separately for services
+that need the console while they start but not afterwards.
+
+This setting is not applicable to regular \fBprocess\fR services, but can be
+used for \fBscripted\fR and \fBbgprocess\fR services. It allows for
+interrupting startup via the \fIinterrupt\fR key (normally control-C). This is
+useful to allow filesystem checks to be interrupted/skipped.
+.TP
+\fBstarts-rwfs\fR
+this service mounts the root filesystem read/write (or at least mounts the
+normal writable filesystems for the system). This prompts Dinit to create its
+control socket, if it has not already managed to do so.
+.TP
+\fBstarts-log\fR
+this service starts the system log daemon. Dinit will begin logging via the
+\fI/dev/log\fR socket.
+.TP
+\fBpass-cs-fd\fR
+pass an open Dinit control socket to the process when launching it (the
+\fIDINIT_CS_FD\fR environment variable will be set to the file descriptor of
+the socket). This allows the service to issue commands to Dinit even if the
+regular control socket is not available yet.
+
+Using this option has security implications! The service which receives the
+control socket must close it before launching any untrusted processes. You
+should not use this option unless the service is designed to receive a Dinit
+control socket.
+.TP
+\fBstart-interruptible\fR
+this service can have its startup interrupted (cancelled) if it becomes inactive
+while still starting, by sending it the SIGINT signal. This is meaningful only
+for \fBbgprocess\fR and \fBscripted\fR services.
