Struct ForeignService 

pub struct ForeignService {
    pub directories: ServiceDirectories,
    pub root: PathBuf,
    pub owner: Option<String>,
    pub this_account: Option<String>,
    pub local_root: PathBuf,
    pub local_record: PathBuf,
    pub unused_local_record: Option<InstallRecord>,
    pub unreadable: Option<String>,
}

A registration whose command line names application-data directories that are not this account’s: another installation’s service.

Every account on a machine sees the one registration its service manager holds under the product’s name. A second account – one that ran a login-mode install once, say – has an install record and a database of its own, and comparing them against the other installation’s registration used to report a stale binary, a mismatched start mode and a secret store in the wrong scope, with service uninstall, service install and auth login as the remedies. Followed from that account, each of them breaks or replaces a service that is healthy. So the registration is reported as the other installation’s, with what can be read of it, and this account’s own record as the unused configuration it is.

Fields

directories: ServiceDirectories

The directories its command line names.

root: PathBuf

The data root they sit under. See ServiceDirectories::root.

owner: Option<String>

The account that data root belongs to, when its path says.

this_account: Option<String>

How a command run by this account reaches the installation, when it is this account’s own under other directories – an install made with --data-dir, seen from a command run without it, or the other way round. None for another account’s.

local_root: PathBuf

This account’s own data root, which no registration runs against.

local_record: PathBuf

Where this account’s own install record is, or would be.

unused_local_record: Option<InstallRecord>

This account’s own install record, from an earlier install.

unreadable: Option<String>

Why the service’s own records could not be read, or None when they were and the status describes them.

Implementations

impl ForeignService

pub fn where_to_look(&self) -> String

How to see the service’s own details: as its owner, or elevated.

pub fn act_as(&self) -> String

Where a change to the service has to be made from: the installation’s own account, because every remedy a command prints acts on the directories of whoever runs it. Elevation alone reads the service’s records but is still this account.

pub const fn is_unread(&self) -> bool

Whether the service’s own records could not be read, so only what the service manager says is known.

pub fn installed_by(&self) -> String

Who installed it, for a sentence.

pub fn label(&self) -> String

The data root and its owner, for a field: <root> (<owner>).

pub fn unused_local_note(&self) -> Option<String>

The note describing this account’s own record, when there is one.
