-The @code{inputs} field specifies that this service depends on the
-@var{glibc} package---the package that contains the @command{nscd}
-program. The @code{start} and @code{stop} fields are expressions that
-make use of dmd's facilities to start and stop processes (@pxref{Service
-De- and Constructors,,, dmd, GNU dmd Manual}). The @code{provision}
-field specifies the name under which this service is known to dmd, and
-@code{documentation} specifies on-line documentation. Thus, the
-commands @command{deco start ncsd}, @command{deco stop nscd}, and
-@command{deco doc nscd} will do what you would expect (@pxref{Invoking
-deco,,, dmd, GNU dmd Manual}).
