I am curious about what actions are implemented in the system services
on my GuixSD install. I try something like the following for the
different system services and get an error:

jesse <at> piranhaplant ~$ sudo herd list-actions term-tty6
Password:
herd: service 'term-tty6' does not have an action 'list-actions'


Based on what the manual says[1], the 'list-actions' action should be a
special action of every service, so I would expect it to at least either
list the default actions status, start, stop, enable, disable, etc. or
display a message that there are no custom actions defined for the
named service.

Surprisingly I could not find anything related to this in the archives.

The documentation has been updated in 
d5da712a5605a0cdaa4cf3bd64621a95a54520c0
to clarify the use of 'list-actions' and there is an example on how to 
use it.

# herd doc term-tty6 list-actions
term-tty6 ()
# herd doc root list-actions
root (help status halt power-off load eval unload reload daemonize 
persistency no-persistency cd restart)

This bug should be closed.
