[systemd-devel] Is there a way to find out if Delegate=yes?

Hi,

I'm experimenting with LXC containers:

https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/getting-started/

And there's a command I don't fully understand:

systemd-run --unit=my-unit --user --scope -p "Delegate=yes" --
lxc-start my-container

It runs lxc-start in a transient user scope with Delegate=yes, but:

$ systemctl show -p Delegate run-....scope
Delegate=no

That's on an Ubuntu server. Locally on Arch Linux I don't need
systemd-run, lxc-start just works.

How can I see the effect of systemd-run, and why systemd-run is not
needed on Arch Linux?
