+# procd API:
+#
+# procd_open_service(name, [script]):
+#   Initialize a new procd command message containing a service with one or more instances
+#
+# procd_close_service()
+#   Send the command message for the service
+#
+# procd_open_instance([name]):
+#   Add an instance to the service described by the previous procd_open_service call
+#
+# procd_set_param(type, [value...])
+#   Available types:
+#     command: command line (array).
+#     env: environment variable (passed to the process)
+#     data: arbitrary name/value pairs for detecting config changes (table)
+#     file: configuration files (array)
+#     netdev: bound network device (detects ifindex changes)
+#
+#   No space separation is done for arrays/tables - use one function argument per command line argument
+#
+# procd_close_instance():
+#   Complete the instance being prepared
+#
+# procd_kill(service, [instance]):
+#   Kill a service instance (or all instances)
