23 systemd.scope \- Scope unit configuration
29 Scope units are not configured via unit configuration files, but are only created programmatically using the bus interfaces of systemd\&. They are named similar to filenames\&. A unit whose name ends in
31 refers to a scope unit\&. Scopes units manage a set of system processes\&. Unlike service units, scope units manage externally created processes, and do not fork off processes on its own\&.
33 The main purpose of scope units is grouping worker processes of a system service for organization and for managing resources\&.
