Option listings seemed to be pretty much random, some were short opt,
long opt, others were long opt, short opt. This just makes every option
with a short and long opt that I could find in the order short opt, long
opt, for formatting's sake.
New sections are added: PAM options, crypttab options, commandline
options, miscellaneous. The last category will be used for all
untagged <varname> elements.
Commandline options sections is meant to be a developer tool: when
adding an option it is sometimes useful to be able to check if
similarly named options exist elsewhere.
systemctl list-dependencies lists all unit's dependecies and
recursively expands all subsidiary target units into a tree.
Primary purpose for this command is to show all units which are
enabled in specified target.
New file output.h with output flags and modes.
--full parameter also for cgls and loginctl.
Include 'all' parameter in flags (show_cgroup_by_path, show_cgroup,
show_cgroup_and_extra, show_cgroup_and_extra_by_spec).
get_process_cmdline with max_length == 0 will not ellipsize output.
Replace LINE_MAX with 0 in some calls of get_process_cmdline.
[zj: Default to --full when under pager for clgs.
Drop '-f' since it wasn't documented and didn't actually work.
Reindent a bit.

Adds is-failed to join is-active and is-enabled.
I grabbed this one from the todo list. Most of the functionality was
already there for is-active. I just needed to make check_one_unit take
the states to check for as an argument instead of the hardcoded
"active" and "reloading".
is-failed will return 1 if none of the units given are failed. This is
different from is-active which will return 3 if none of the units
given are active. It returns 3 with this comment:
/* According to LSB: "program is not running" */
As that does not make sense when looking for failed units I simply
chose 1 instead.

Fixed typos, serial comma, and removed "either" as there were more
than two options. Also did an extra rename of "system-shutdown"
to "systemd-shutdown" that was forgotten in commit
8bd3b8620c
Given that "journalctl -u" exists now there's no need to duplicate this
functionality in systemctl, so let's drop this, especially given that it
always felt a bit awkward to overload "-f" to both --force and --follow,
and to have continues output with a status header for this.
systemctl status -f avahi-daemon
now becomes:
journalctl -fu avahi-daemon
Which is shorter and a lot less redundant.
E.g. systemctl --all -t masked gives the list of masked units.
The -t/--type option is reused. This is possible because unit types
and unit load states are called differently, so it is possible to
distinguish what the user meant. Using the same option also means that
the interface is user for the user: less options to remember.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
Let's make things a bit easier to type, drop the systemd- prefix for
journalctl and loginctl, but provide the old names for compat.
All systemd binaries are hence now prefixed with "systemd-" with the
exception of the three primary user interface binaries:
systemctl
loginctl
journalctl
For those three we do provide systemd-xyz names as well, via symlinks:
systemd-systemctl → systemctl
systemd-loginctl → loginctl
systemd-journalctl → journalctl
We do this only for the *primary* user tools, in order to avoid
unnecessary namespace problems. That means tools like systemd-notify
stay the way they are.
Print the legend (the column headers and the footer with hints) by
default even to non-tty output. People seem to get confused by the
difference when they redirect the output.
Add a parameter to suppress the printing of the legend.

Add --root=<root> for enable/disable/is-enabled systemctl commands. To
be used for easily enable / disable systemd services for a chroot,
without running systemctl inside chroot.
This adds support for executing systemctl operations remotely or as
privileged user while still running systemctl itself unprivileged and
locally.
This currently requires a D-Bus patch to work properly.
