<title>Description</title>
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in .socket
encodes information about an IPC or network socket or
a file system FIFO controlled and supervised by systemd,
for socket-based activation.</para>
<para>This man page lists the configuration options
specific to this unit type. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for the common options of all unit configuration
files. The common configuration items are configured
in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
service specific configuration options are configured
in the [Socket] section.</para>
<para>Additional options are listed in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>For each socket file a matching service file (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details)
must exist, describing the service to start on
incoming traffic on the socket. Depending on the
setting of <option>Accept=</option> (see below) this
must either be named like the socket unit, but with
the suffix replaced; or it must be a template file
named the same way. Example: a socket file
<filename>foo.socket</filename> needs a matching
service <filename>foo.service</filename> if
<option>Accept=false</option> is set. If
<option>Accept=true</option> is set a service template
file <filename>foo@.service</filename> must exist from
which services are instantiated for each incoming
connection.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Options</title>
<para>Socket files must include a [Socket] section,
which carries information about the socket or FIFO it
supervises. A number of options that may be used in
this section are shared with other unit types. These
options are documented in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
options specific to the [Socket] section of service
units are the following:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ListenStream=</varname></term>
<term><varname>ListenDatagram=</varname></term>
<term><varname>ListenSequentialPacket=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies an address
to listen on for a stream
(SOCK_STREAM), datagram (SOCK_DGRAM)
resp. sequential packet
(SOCK_SEQPACKET) socket. The address
can be written in various formats:</para>
<para>If the address starts with a
slash (/), it is read as file system
socket in the AF_UNIX socket
family.</para>
<para>If the address starts with an
ampersand (@) it is read as abstract
namespace socket in the AF_UNIX
family. The @ is replaced with a NUL
character before binding. For details
see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>unix</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>If the address string is a
single number it is read as port
number to listen on for both IPv4 and
IPv6.</para>
<para>If the address string is a
string in the format v.w.x.y:z it is
read as IPv4 specifier for listening
on an address v.w.x.y on a port
z.</para>
<para>If the address string is a
string in the format [x]:y it is read
as IPv6 address x on a port y.</para>
<para>Note that SOCK_SEQPACKET
(i.e. <varname>ListenSequentialPacket=</varname>)
is only available for AF_UNIX
sockets. SOCK_STREAM
(i.e. <varname>ListenStream=</varname>)
when used for IP sockets refers to TCP
sockets, SOCK_DGRAM
(i.e. <varname>ListenDatagram=</varname>)
to UDP.</para>
<para>These options may be specified
more than once in which case incoming
traffic on any of the sockets will trigger
service activation, and all listed
sockets will be passed to the service,
regardless whether there is incoming
traffic on them or not.</para>
<para>If an IP address is used here it
is often desirable to listen on it
before the interface it is configured
on is up and running, and even
regardless whether it will be up and
running ever at all. To deal with this it is
recommended to set the
<varname>FreeBind=</varname> option
described below.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ListenFIFO=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies a file
system FIFO to listen on. This expects
an absolute file system path as
argument. Behaviour otherwise is very
similar to the
<varname>ListenDatagram=</varname>
directive above.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>BindIPv6Only=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a one of
<option>default</option>,
<option>both</option> or
<option>ipv6-only</option>. Controls
the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>ipv6</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details). If
<option>both</option>, IPv6 sockets
bound will be accessible via both IPv4
and IPv6. If
<option>ipv6-only</option>, they will
be accessible via IPv6 only. If
<option>default</option> (which is the
default, surprise!) the system wide
default setting is used, as controlled
by
<filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only</filename>.</para>

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Backlog=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an unsigned
integer argument. Specifies the number
of connections to queue that have not
been accepted yet. This setting
matters only for stream and sequential
packet sockets. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>listen</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details. Defaults to SOMAXCONN
(128).</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>BindToDevice=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies a network
interface name to bind this socket
to. If set traffic will only be
accepted from the specified network
interfaces. This controls the
SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details). If this option is used
an automatic dependency from this
socket unit on the network interface
device unit
(<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.device</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
is created.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>DirectoryMode=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>If listening on a file
system socket of FIFO the parent
directories are automatically created
if needed. This option specifies the
file system access mode used when
creating these directories. Defaults
to 0755.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>SocketMode=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>If listening on a file
system socket of FIFO this option
specifies the file system access mode
used when creating the file
node. Defaults to
0666.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Accept=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean
argument. If true a service instance
is spawned for each incoming
connection and only the connection
socket is passed to it. If false all
listening sockets themselves are
passed to the started service unit,
and only one service unit is spawned
for all connections (also see
above). This value is ignored for
datagram sockets and FIFOs where
unconditionally a single service unit
handles all incoming traffic. Defaults
to <option>false</option>. For
performance reasons it is recommended
to write new daemons only in a way
that is suitable for
<option>Accept=false</option>. This
option is mostly useful to allow
daemons designed for usage with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>inetd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to work unmodified with system socket
activation.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>MaxConnections=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>The maximum number of
connections to simultaneously run
services instances for, when
<option>Accept=true</option> is
set. If more concurrent connections
are coming in they will be refused,
until at least one existing connection
is terminated. This setting has no
effect for sockets configured with
<option>Accept=no</option> or datagram
sockets. Defaults to
64.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>KeepAlive=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean
argument. If true, the TCP/IP stack
will send a keep alive message after
2h (depending on the configuration of
<filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time</filename>)
for all TCP streams accepted on this
socket. This controls the SO_KEEPALIVE
socket option (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and the <ulink
url="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/TCP-Keepalive-HOWTO/">TCP

Defaults to
<option>false</option>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Priority=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an integer
argument controlling the priority for
all traffic sent from this
socket. This controls the SO_PRIORITY
socket option (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details.).</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ReceiveBuffer=</varname></term>
<term><varname>SendBuffer=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an integer

for details.).</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>IPTOS=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an integer
argument controlling the IP
Type-Of-Service field for packets
generated from this socket. This
controls the IP_TOS socket option (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>ip</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details.). Either a numeric string
or one of <option>low-delay</option>,
<option>throughput</option>,
<option>reliability</option> or
<option>low-cost</option> may be
specified.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>IPTTL=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an integer
argument controlling the IPv4
Time-To-Live/IPv6 Hop-Count field for
packets generated from this
socket. This sets the
IP_TTL/IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS socket
options (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>ip</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and

<term><varname>Mark=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an integer
value. Controls the firewall mark of
packets generated by this socket. This
can be used in the firewall logic to
filter packets from this socket. This
sets the SO_MARK socket option. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>iptables</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>PipeSize=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an integer
value. Controls the pipe buffer size
of FIFOs configured in this socket
unit. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>fcntl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>FreeBind=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean
value. Controls whether the socket can
be bound to non-local IP
addresses. This is useful to configure
sockets listening on specific IP
addresses before those IP addresses
are successfully configured on a
network interface. This sets the
IP_FREEBIND socket option. For
robustness reasons it is recommended
to use this option whenever you bind a
socket to a specific IP
address. Defaults to <option>false</option>.</para></listitem>

within the configured time the socket
will be considered failed and be shut
down again. All commands still running
will be terminated forcibly via
SIGTERM, and after another delay of
this time with SIGKILL. (See
<option>KilleMode=</option> below.)
Takes a unit-less value in seconds, or
a time span value such as "5min

activation which makes dependencies implicit, which
both results in a simpler and more flexible
system.</para>
<para>Some unit names reflect paths existing in the
file system name space. Example: a device unit
<filename>dev-sda.device</filename> refers to a device
with the device node <filename>/dev/sda</filename> in
the file system namespace. If this applies a special
way to escape the path name is used, so that it is
usable as part of a file name. Basically, given a path,
"/" is replaced by "-", and all unprintable characters
and the "-" are replaced by C-style "\x20"
escapes. This escaping is reversible.</para>
<para>Optionally, units may be instantiated from a
template file at runtime. This allows creation of
multiple units from a single configuration file. If
systemd looks for a unit configuration file it will
first search for the literal unit name in the
filesystem. If that yields no success and the unit
name contains an @ character, systemd will look for a
unit template that shares the same name but with the
instance string (i.e. the part between the @ character
and the suffix) removed. Example: if a service
<filename>getty@tty3.service</filename> is requested
and no file by that name is found, systemd will look
for <filename>getty@.service</filename> and
instantiate a service from that configuration file if
it is found. To refer to the instance string from
within the configuration file you may use the special
<literal>%i</literal> specifier in many of the
configuration options. Other specifiers that may be
used are <literal>%n</literal>, <literal>%N</literal>,
<literal>%p</literal>, <literal>%P</literal> and
<literal>%I</literal>, for the full unit name, the
unescaped unit name, the prefix name, the unescaped
prefix name and the unescaped instance name,
respectively. The prefix name here refers to the
string before the @, i.e. "getty" in the example
above, where "tty3" is the instance name.</para>
