+ <h1>The user-ml program</h1>
+ <p>
+ user-ml automatically creates logging service
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/s6-rc-compile.html#source">source directories</a>
+ for longrun services of the
+ <a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/confdir.html#user">user configuration directory</a>.
+ To create the logging service source directories,
+ user-ml uses
+ <a href="./longrun-make.html">longrun-make</a> internally.
+ </p>
+ <h2>Interface</h2>
+ <pre> user-ml</pre>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ user-ml takes no arguments.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It reads the <code>USER</code> environment variable,
+ if it is empty it exits 100.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It reads the <code>USERTREE</code> environment variable,
+ if it is empty it exits 100.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It reads the <code>HOME</code> environment variable,
+ if it is empty it exits 100.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It deletes the <code>${USERTREE}/src/generated-logger</code> subdirectory
+ of the <a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/confdir.html#user">user configuration subdirectory</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It scans the <code>${USERTREE}/src</code> subdirectory
+ of the <a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/confdir.html#user">user configuration subdirectory</a>
+ for longrun services.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It checks for each longrun it detects,
+ whether its source directory contains a file <code>no-ml</code>.
+ If this file exits, this longrun is skipped in the subsequent logger generation.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ It generates a logging service source directory
+ <code>${USERTREE}/src/generated-logger/<var>@longrun@</var>-log</code>
+ in parallel for each longrun <code><var>@longrun@</var>-srv</code> it found
+ in the <a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/confdir.html#user">user configuration subdirectory</a>.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h2>Exit codes</h2>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ 100 if a critical environment variable is missing.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Since user-ml is an
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/execline/">execline</a>
+ script, it exits with an approximation
+ of employed program that failed.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ user-ml mostly uses
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/execline/">execline</a>
+ and
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6/">s6</a>
+ software, the exit behaviour of which can be looked up on
+ their respective pages.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ See also:
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/execline/exitcodes.html">execline exit code handling</a>.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <h2>Options</h2>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ There are no options to user-ml.
