+These functions provide a means of querying OpenRC services to find out the
+state of each one, to start and stop it, and any other functions related
+to it.
+.Pp
+Most functions should be self descriptive as to what they do and what they
+return based on names and arguments.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_add
+adds the
+.Fa service
+to the
+.Fa runlevel .
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_delete
+deletes the
+.Fa service
+from the
+.Fa runlevel .
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_daemon_set
+saves the arguments in the
+.Fa service
+state data so that
+.Fn rc_service_daemons_crashed
+can check to see if they are still running or not.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_description
+returns the
+.Va description
+variable of the
+.Fa service .
+If
+.Fa option
+is not null then we return the
+.Fa description_$option
+variable instead.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_exists
+returns true if the
+.Fa service
+exists, otherwise false.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_in_runlevel
+returns true if the
+.Fa service
+is in the
+.Fa runlevel ,
+otherwise false.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_mark
+puts the
+.Fa service
+into the given
+.Fa state .
+If the state is RC_SERVICE_STOPPED then all data associated with the
+.Fa service
+is lost.
+.Fn rc_service_extra_commands
+returns a list of extra commands the
+.Fa service
+supports beyond the default ones. See
+.Nm runscript
+for default commands.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_plugable
+returns true if the service is allowed to be plugged by
+.Pa rc.conf .
+Default is true.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_resolve
+resolves
+.Fa service
+to the full path of service that was started, or would be started.
+.Pp
+When
+.Fa service
+starts, it starts
+.Fa service_to_start
+afterswards as directed by
+.Fn rc_service_schedule_start .
+.Fn rc_services_scheduled
+returns a list of services that will be started when
+.Fa service
+starts.
+.Fn rc_service_schedule_clear
+clears these scheduled services for
+.Fa service .
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_state returns the state of
+.Fa service .
+The return value is a bitmask, where more than one state can apply.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_start
+starts
+.Fa service ,
+returning the pid of new process.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_stop
+stops
+.Fa service ,
+returning the pid of new process.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_service_started_daemon
+checks to see if
+.Fa service
+started
+.Fa exec
+using
+.Nm start-stop-daemon .
+If
+.Fa indx
+is greater than zero, then it must also be the nth daemon started by
+.Fa service .
+.Fn rc_service_value_set
+saves the
+.Fa value
+under the name
+.Fa option .
+.Fn rc_service_value_get
+returns the value of the saved
+.Fa option .
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_services_in_runlevel
+returns a list of services in
+.Fa runlevel .
+If
+.Fa runlevel
+is not specified, then it returns a list of all available services.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_services_in_state
+returns a list of all the services in
+.Fa state .
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+Each function that returns
+.Fr "char *"

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions provide an easy means of manipulating string lists without
+the need for custom structures or non standard macros.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_strlist_add
+adds a malloced copy of
+.Fa item
+to
+.Fa list ,
+realloced to accomodate the new item. It returns a pointer to the new item on
+success, or NULL on failure and sets
+.Va errno
+accordingly.
+.Fn rc_strlist_addu
+and
+.Fn rc_strlist_addsortu
+only work if
+.Fa list
+does not already contain
+.Fa item .
+.Fn rc_strlist_addsort
+adds the item to the list in a lexically sorted position, using
+.Nm strcoll ,
+whereas
+.Fn rc_strlist_addsortc
+uses
+.Nm strcmp .
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_strlist_delete
+removes and frees
+.Fa item
+from
+.Fa list ,
+retuning true on success, otherwise false.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_strlist_join
+appends
+.Fa list2
+to the end of
+.Fa list1
+and returns a pointer to the last item on the new list.
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_strlist_reverse
+reverses the items on
+.Fa list .
+.Pp
+.Fn rc_strlist_free
+frees each item on
+.Fa list
+and the
+.Fa list
+itself.
