   7 .SH NAME
   8 smf_method \- service management framework conventions for methods
   9 .SH DESCRIPTION
  10 .LP
  11 The class of services managed by \fBsvc.startd\fR(1M) in the service management
  12 framework, \fBsmf\fR(5), consists of applications that fit a simple
  13 \fBfork\fR(2)-\fBexec\fR(2) model. The \fBsvc.startd\fR(1M) master daemon and
  14 other restarters support the \fBfork\fR(2)-\fBexec\fR(2) model, potentially
  15 with additional capabilities. The \fBsvc.startd\fR(1M) daemon and other
  16 restarters require that the methods which activate, manipulate, or examine a
  17 service instance follow the conventions described in this manual page.
  18 .SS "Invocation form"
  19 .LP
  20 The form of a method invocation is not dictated by convention. In some cases, a
  21 method invocation might consist of the direct invocation of the daemon or other
  22 binary executable that provides the service. For cases in which an executable
  23 script or other mediating executable is used, the convention recommends the
  24 form:
  25 .sp
  26 .in +2
