Description
A unit configuration file whose name ends in
- .slice encodes information about a slice
- created by systemd to manage resources used by a certain group of
+ .slice encodes information about a slice which
+ is a concept for hierarchially managing resources of a group of
processes. This management is performed by creating a node in the
- control group tree. Those processes are part of different units,
- usually .service units (see
- systemd.unit5).
+ Linux Control Group (cgroup) tree. Units that manage processes
+ (primarilly scope and service units) may be assigned to a specific
+ slice. For each slice, certain resource limits may the be set that
+ apply to all processes of all units contained in that
+ slice. Slices are organized hierarchially 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,
+ -.slice. Example:
+ foo-bar.slice is a slice that is located
+ within foo.slice, which in turn is located in
+ the root slice -.slice.
+ By default, service and scope units are placed in
+ system.slice, virtual machines and containers
+ registered with
+ systemd-machined1
+ are found in machine.slice, and user sessions
+ handled by
+ systemd-logind1
+ in user.slice. See
+ systemd.special5
+ for more information.
