+## dbus-controller-s6rc
+
+Build with `meson -Ds6-rc=enabled build`
+
+Usage: `dbus-controller-s6rc -h`
+
+The [s6-rc] controller looks in a s6-rc livedir for services containing the
+file `data/dbus-activatable-name` with a dbus activatable name provided by the
+service. It issues `s6-rc change <service>` when it receives an activation
+request.
+
+Such dbus activatable services can be autogenerated by `tools/s6rc-generator`,
+which generates a s6-rc source database called `dbus` that can be included in
+the list of your databases to compile with `s6-rc-compile`.
+
+It is typically invoked as:
+```
+./s6rc-generator /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/*
+./s6rc-generator /usr/share/dbus-1/services/*
+```
+for the system and session bus, respectively.
+
+You are free to further tweak this source database as you like, for example
+removing unwanted activatable services.
