> There are different ways to find these values. You can grep through the c=
ode from https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git (https://git.savannah.gn=
u.org/cgit/guix.git for the web version). You can also run `guix repl` and =
type the variable name (you might need to import some modules before, I did=
n't check). Most of the time however, these variables are explained in the =
manual.
I tried the advise to use `guix repl` and type the variable name, but
it displayed nothing so it apparently needs to import the modules
before.

It is a good advise. Thanks

. Services are defined in gnu/services/*.scm.
Thanks for your answer, Julien
