Subject: core: add _parameters_init for the Unit.StartTransient dispatch
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=54fd64db200ba1b422bc209e38db3ca5eda5ef00;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

core: add _parameters_init for the Unit.StartTransient dispatch

This commit extracts the initialization of the transient parameters
for io.systemd.Unit.StartTransient into a set of helpers that follow
the _parameters_init() pattern. This way the code is more uniform
and easier to extend and less fragile. It also means there is a
single (logical) place to init the fields.
