On Wiki we have a page with list of RPCD services exposed over UBUS and their description:  
[https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/ubus](https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/ubus)

This is basically same as `ubus -v list service `.  
The problem is that some methods/commands aren't clear by their name.  
For example in the `service state` has params:  
`"state":{"spawn":"Boolean","name":"String"}`

And I expected that this is method returns a current state of a service: running, disabled.

But from sources it looks like a completely different thing

Can anyone update the wiki page and add more description:
