Use: argument in Icinga 1 service definitions

I see references to a argument use in Icinga 1 configuration files e.g. like so:

define service {
  use                 check_mk_passive
  host_name           localhost
  service_description General Status
  check_interval      1
  # ...

On the other hand, I do not see this argument mentioned in what seems to be the appropriate piece of documentation (section on service definitions).

What is the meaning of this argument and where is this documented?

use is an attribute by which Icinga definitions may refer to templates. templates.cfg contains some examples.
