# Services

The systemd units Steamify installs, kept out of the shell code so they can
be read and reviewed on their own. `lib/*.sh` reads them with `service_file
<name> [KEY=value...]`, which fills in `@KEY@` placeholders (paths the
scripts define); the single-file build (`.github/tools/bundle.sh`) embeds
them. Small drop-ins that only add a line or two to someone else's unit stay
in the shell code.
