the parameter plist to use any sockets that have been passed to Emacs.
(wait_reading_process_output): Call 'socket' and 'bind' every time.
(syms_of_process): New symbol ':use-external-socket'.
(set_external_socket_descriptor): New function.
(external_sock_fd): New variable.
* src/lisp.h: (set_external_socket_descriptor): New declaration.
* src/emacs.c (main): Call 'sd_listen_fds' to read the number of sockets
passed and call 'set_external_socket_descriptor' to set the external
socket.
* src/Makefile.in: Add libsystemd library and C flags to the Emacs
compilation options.

* configure.ac: Add new default-on option "systemd" and check for
libsystemd at configure time.

* lisp/server.el (server-start): Set ':use-external-socket' to 't' when
calling 'make-network-process'.

option to disable systemd interaction.

* doc/emacs/misc.texi (Emacs Server): Document systemd socket passing
functionality and provide systemd unit examples.
