+
+    <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in <literal>.slice</literal> encodes information about a slice
+    unit. A slice unit is a concept for hierarchically managing resources of a group of processes. This management is
+    performed by creating a node in the Linux Control Group (cgroup) tree. Units that manage processes (primarily scope
+    and service units) may be assigned to a specific slice. For each slice, certain resource limits may be set that
+    apply to all processes of all units contained in that slice. Slices are organized hierarchically in a tree. The
+    name of the slice encodes the location in the tree. The name consists of a dash-separated series of names, which
+    describes the path to the slice from the root slice. The root slice is named <filename>-.slice</filename>. Example:
+    <filename>foo-bar.slice</filename> is a slice that is located within <filename>foo.slice</filename>, which in turn
+    is located in the root slice <filename>-.slice</filename>.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>Note that slice units cannot be templated, nor is possible to add multiple names to a slice unit by creating
+    additional symlinks to its unit file.</para>
+
+    <para>By default, service and scope units are placed in
+    <filename>system.slice</filename>, virtual machines and containers
+    registered with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    are found in <filename>machine.slice</filename>, and user sessions
+    handled by
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    in <filename>user.slice</filename>. See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for more information.</para>
+
+    <para>See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for the common options of all unit configuration
+    files. The common configuration items are configured
+    in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
+    slice specific configuration options are configured in
+    the [Slice] section. Currently, only generic resource control settings
+    as described in
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> are allowed.
