423 | <para>The following two commands first write a property and then | |
424 | read it back. The property is found on the | |
425 | <literal>/org/freedesktop/systemd1</literal> object of the | |

427 | the property is <literal>LogLevel</literal> on the | |
428 | <literal>org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager</literal> | |
429 | interface. The property contains a single string:</para> | |
