/**
* The nsIServiceManager manager interface provides a means to obtain
* global services in an application. The service manager depends on the
* repository to find and instantiate factories to obtain services.
*
* Users of the service manager must first obtain a pointer to the global
* service manager by calling NS_GetServiceManager. After that,
* they can request specific services by calling GetService. When they are
* finished they can NS_RELEASE() the service as usual.
*
* A user of a service may keep references to particular services indefinitely
* and only must call Release when it shuts down.
