[PATCH 3/3] dirmngr: Implement --supervised command (for systemd, etc).

Daniel Kahn Gillmor dkg at fifthhorseman.net
Wed Oct 26 22:37:08 CEST 2016


* dirmngr/dirmngr.c (main): Add new --supervised command, which is
  a mode designed for running under a process supervision system
  like systemd or runit.
* doc/dirmngr.texi: document --supervised option.

--

"dirmngr --supervised" is a way to invoke dirmngr such that a system
supervisor like systemd can provide socket-activated startup, log
management, and scheduled shutdown.

When running in this mode, dirmngr:

 * Does not open its own listening socket; rather, it expects to be
   given a listening socket on file descriptor 3.

 * Does not detach from the invoking process, staying in the
   foreground instead.
