+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><command>portablectl</command> may be used to attach, detach or inspect portable service images. It's
+    primarily a command interfacing with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-portabled.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+    <para>Portable service images contain an OS file system tree along with
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> unit file
+    information. A service image may be "attached" to the local system. If attached, a set of unit files are copied
+    from the image to the host, and extended with <varname>RootDirectory=</varname> or <varname>RootImage=</varname>
+    assignments (in case of service units) pointing to the image file or directory, ensuring the services will run
+    within the file system context of the image.</para>
+
+    <para>Portable service images are an efficient way to bundle multiple related services and other units together,
+    and transfer them as a whole between systems. When these images are attached the local system the contained units
+    may run in most ways like regular system-provided units, either with full privileges or inside strict sandboxing,
+    depending on the selected configuration. For more details, see
+    <ulink url="https://systemd.io/PORTABLE_SERVICES">Portable Services</ulink>.</para>
+
+    <para>Specifically portable service images may be of the following kind:</para>
+
+    <itemizedlist>
+      <listitem><para>Directory trees containing an OS, including the top-level directories <filename>/usr/</filename>,
+      <filename>/etc/</filename>, and so on.</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>btrfs subvolumes containing OS trees, similar to normal directory trees.</para></listitem>
+
+      <listitem><para>Binary "raw" disk images containing MBR or GPT partition tables and Linux file system
+      partitions. (These must be regular files, with the <filename>.raw</filename> suffix.)</para></listitem>
+    </itemizedlist>

+    <title>Commands</title>
+
+    <para>The following commands are understood:</para>
+
+    <variablelist>
+
+      <varlistentry>
+        <term><command>list</command></term>
+
+        <listitem><para>List available portable service images. This will list all portable service images discovered
+        in the portable image search paths (see below), along with brief metadata and state information. Note that many
+        of the commands below may both operate on images inside and outside of the search paths. This command is hence
+        mostly a convenience option, the commands are generally not restricted to what this list
+        shows.</para></listitem>
+      </varlistentry>
+
+      <varlistentry>
+        <term><command>attach</command> <replaceable>IMAGE</replaceable> [<replaceable>PREFIX…</replaceable>]</term>
+
+        <listitem><para>Attach a portable service image to the host system. Expects a file system path to a portable
+        service image file or directory as first argument. If the specified path contains no slash character
+        (<literal>/</literal>) it is understood as image filename that is searched for in the portable service image
+        search paths (see below). To reference a file in the current working directory prefix the filename with
+        <literal>./</literal> to avoid this search path logic.</para>
+
+        <para>When a portable service is attached four operations are executed:</para>
+
+        <orderedlist>
+
+          <listitem><para>All unit files of types <filename>.service</filename>, <filename>.socket</filename>,
+          <filename>.target</filename>, <filename>.timer</filename> and <filename>.path</filename> which match the
+          indicated unit file name prefix are copied from the image to the host's
+          <filename>/etc/systemd/system.attached/</filename> directory (or
+          <filename>/run/systemd/system.attached/</filename> — depending whether <option>--runtime</option> is
+          specified, see below), which is included in the built-in unit search path of the system service
+          manager.</para></listitem>
+
+          <listitem><para>For unit files of type <filename>.service</filename> a drop-in is added to these copies that
+          adds <varname>RootDirectory=</varname> or <varname>RootImage=</varname> settings (see
+          <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+          details), that ensures these services are run within the file system of the originating portable service
+          image.</para></listitem>
+
+          <listitem><para>A second drop-in is created: the "profile" drop-in, that may contain additional security
+          settings (and other settings). A number of profiles are available by default but administrators may define
+          their own ones. See below.</para></listitem>
+
+          <listitem><para>If the portable service image file is not already in the search path (see below), a symbolic
+          link to it is created in <filename>/etc/portables/</filename> or
+          <filename>/run/portables/</filename>, to make sure it is included in it.</para></listitem>
+        </orderedlist>
+
+        <para>By default all unit files whose names start with a prefix generated from the image's file name are copied
+        out. Specifically, the prefix is determined from the image file name with any suffix such as
+        <filename>.raw</filename> removed, truncated at the first occurrence of an underscore character
+        (<literal>_</literal>), if there is one. The underscore logic is supposed to be used to versioning so that the
+        an image file <filename>foobar_47.11.raw</filename> will result in a unit file matching prefix of
+        <filename>foobar</filename>. This prefix is then compared with all unit files names contained in the image in
+        the usual directories, but only unit file names where the prefix is followed by <literal>-</literal>,
+        <literal>.</literal> or <literal>@</literal> are considered. Example: if a portable service image file is named
+        <filename>foobar_47.11.raw</filename> then by default all its unit files with names such as
+        <filename>foobar-quux-waldi.service</filename>, <filename>foobar.service</filename> or
+        <filename>foobar@.service</filename> will be considered. It's possible to override the matching prefix: all
+        strings listed on the command line after the image file name are considered prefixes, overriding the implicit
+        logic where the prefix is derived from the image file name.</para>
+
+        <para>By default, after the unit files are attached the service manager's configuration is reloaded, except
+        when <option>--no-reload</option> is specified (see below). This ensures that the new units made available to
+        the service manager are seen by it.</para>
+
+        <para>If <option>--now</option> and/or <option>--enable</option> are passed, the portable services are
+        immediately started (blocking operation unless <option>--no-block</option> is passed) and/or enabled after
+        attaching the image.</para>
+        </listitem>

+
+      <varlistentry>
+        <term><command>detach</command> <replaceable>IMAGE</replaceable> [<replaceable>PREFIX…</replaceable>]</term>
+
+        <listitem><para>Detaches a portable service image from the host. This undoes the operations executed by the
+        <command>attach</command> command above, and removes the unit file copies, drop-ins and image symlink
+        again. This command expects an image name or path as parameter. Note that if a path is specified only the last
+        component of it (i.e. the file or directory name itself, not the path to it) is used for finding matching unit
+        files. This is a convenience feature to allow all arguments passed as <command>attach</command> also to
+        <command>detach</command>.</para></listitem>
+
+        <para>If <option>--now</option> and/or <option>--enable</option> are passed, the portable services are
+        immediately stopped (blocking operation) and/or disabled before detaching the image. Prefix(es) are also accepted,
+        to be used in case the unit names do not match the image name as described in the <command>attach</command>.</para>

+
+      <varlistentry>
+        <term><command>reattach</command> <replaceable>IMAGE</replaceable> [<replaceable>PREFIX…</replaceable>]</term>
+
+        <listitem><para>Detaches an existing portable service image from the host, and immediately attaches it again.
+        This is useful in case the image was replaced. Running units are not stopped during the process. Partial matching,
+        to allow for different versions in the image name, is allowed: only the part before the first <literal>_</literal>
+        character has to match. If the new image doesn't exist, the existing one will not be detached. The parameters
+        follow the same syntax as the <command>attach</command> command.</para></listitem>
+
+        <para>If <option>--now</option> and/or <option>--enable</option> are passed, the portable services are
+        immediately stopped if removed, started and/or enabled if added, or restarted if updated. Prefixes are also

+        image is retrieved as well as all matching unit files. By default a short summary showing the most relevant
+        metadata in combination with a list of matching unit files is shown (that is the unit files
+        <command>attach</command> would install to the host system). If combined with <option>--cat</option> (see
+        above), the <filename>os-release</filename> data and the units files' contents is displayed unprocessed. This
+        command is useful to determine whether an image qualifies as portable service image, and which unit files are
+        included. This command expects the path to the image as parameter, optionally followed by a list of unit file
+        prefixes to consider, similar to the <command>attach</command> command described above.</para>

+
+    <para>Portable service images are preferably stored in <filename>/var/lib/portables/</filename>, but are also
+    searched for in <filename>/etc/portables/</filename>, <filename>/run/systemd/portables/</filename>,
+    <filename>/usr/local/lib/portables/</filename> and <filename>/usr/lib/portables/</filename>. It's recommended not
+    to place image files directly in <filename>/etc/portables/</filename> or
+    <filename>/run/systemd/portables/</filename> (as these are generally not suitable for storing large or non-textual
+    data), but use these directories only for linking images located elsewhere into the image search path.</para>
+
+    <para>When a portable service image is attached, matching unit files are copied onto the host into the
+    <filename>/etc/systemd/system.attached/</filename> and <filename>/run/systemd/system.attached/</filename>
+    directories. When an image is detached, the unit files are removed again from these directories.</para>

+    <title>Profiles</title>
+
+    <para>When portable service images are attached a "profile" drop-in is linked in, which may be used to enforce
+    additional security (and other) restrictions locally. Four profile drop-ins are defined by default, and shipped in
+    <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/portable/profile/</filename>. Additional, local profiles may be defined by placing them
+    in <filename>/etc/systemd/portable/profile/</filename>. The default profiles are:</para>
