</span>The latter is "private", as the name suggests. Do not access it from<br>
external programs, it is systemd's internal hack around ordering<br>
issues with dbus, and nobody but systemd's own tools should access<br>
it. It is going away when kdbus arrives, if you make use of it, then<br>
your application will break.<br>
