/* The service name should not exceed SERVICE_NAME_MAX to avoid
 * some weird things. This is due to the fact that:
 *
 * - Starting a service is done by writing its name to the "ctl.start"
 *   system property. This triggers the init daemon to actually start
 *   the service for us.
 *
 * - Stopping the service is done by writing its name to "ctl.stop"
 *   in a similar way.
 *
 * - Reading the status of a service is done by reading the property
 *   named "init.svc.<name>"
 *
 * If strlen(<name>) > (PROPERTY_KEY_MAX-1)-9, then you can start/stop
 * the service by writing to ctl.start/stop, but you won't be able to
 * read its state due to the truncation of "init.svc.<name>" into a
 * zero-terminated buffer of PROPERTY_KEY_MAX characters.
