performance reasons, it is recommended
to write new daemons only in a way
that is suitable for

- option is mostly useful to allow

+ or
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>shutdown</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ on the received socket before exiting. However,
+ it must not unlink the socket from a

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>inetd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
to work unmodified with systemd socket
activation.</para></listitem>
