If at all possible use the D-Bus interface when communicating with
systemd from your own programs. There's currently no documentation
available for that (for a reason: it's currently not covered by our
stable interface guarantee even though it's unlikely it will change
anymore) but it should be self-explanatory to some degree and is fully
introspectable on the bus with tools like d-feet or gdbus' client tool.
