http://elinux.org/Android_Booting is probably a better reference.

There's also system/core/init/README.md from the Android source tree.

disabled
This service will not automatically start with its class. It must be explicitly started by name.

oneshot
Do not restart the service when it exits.

Here is a reference you can use:

From the init/readme.txt in the Android source tree.

disabled - This service will not automatically start with its class. It must be explicitly started by name.

oneshot - Do not restart the service when it exits.

It is a configuration file for services loaded in <source_root>/system/core/init/init.c by <source_root>/system/core/init/init_parser.c. init_parser.c parses and loads appropriate services.
