The generator paths are internal implementation details, they should not be documented explicitly. We should document where private user units are found however.

<para>A unit configuration file encodes information
|
|
about a service, a socket, a device, a mount point, an
|
|
automount point, a swap file or partition, a start-up
|
|
target, a watched file system path, a timer controlled
|
|
and supervised by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
a temporary system state snapshot, a resource
|
|
management slice or a group of externally created
|
|
processes. The syntax is inspired by <ulink
|
|
url="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/">XDG
|
|
Desktop Entry Specification</ulink>
|
|
<filename>.desktop</filename> files, which are in turn

inspired by Microsoft Windows

<filename>.ini</filename> files.</para>

|
<para>This man page lists the common configuration
|
|
options of all the unit types. These options need to
|
|
be configured in the [Unit] or [Install]
|
|
sections of the unit files.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In addition to the generic [Unit] and [Install]
|
|
sections described here, each unit may have a
|
|
type-specific section, e.g. [Service] for a service
|
|
unit. See the respective man pages for more

|
<para>Unit files are loaded from a set of paths
|
|
determined during compilation, described in the next section.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Unit files may contain additional options on top
|
|
of those listed here. If systemd encounters an unknown
|
|
option it will write a warning log message but
|
|
continue loading the unit. If an option is prefixed
|
|
with <option>X-</option> it is ignored completely by
|
|
systemd. Applications may use this to include
|
|
additional information in the unit files.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Boolean arguments used in unit files can be
|
|
written in various formats. For positive settings the
|
|
strings <option>1</option>, <option>yes</option>,
|
|
<option>true</option> and <option>on</option> are
|
|
equivalent. For negative settings the strings
|
|
<option>0</option>, <option>no</option>,
|
|
<option>false</option> and <option>off</option> are
|
|
equivalent.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Time span values encoded in unit files can be
|
|
written in various formats. A stand-alone number
|
|
specifies a time in seconds. If suffixed with a time
|
|
unit, the unit is honored. A concatenation of multiple
|
|
values with units is supported, in which case the
|
|
values are added up. Example: "50" refers to 50
|
|
seconds; "2min 200ms" refers to 2 minutes plus 200
|
|
milliseconds, i.e. 120200ms. The following time units
|
|
are understood: s, min, h, d, w, ms, us. For details
|
|
see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Empty lines and lines starting with # or ; are
|
|
ignored. This may be used for commenting. Lines ending
|
|
in a backslash are concatenated with the following
|
|
line while reading and the backslash is replaced by a
|
|
space character. This may be used to wrap long lines.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Along with a unit file
|
|
<filename>foo.service</filename> the directory
|
|
<filename>foo.service.wants/</filename> may exist. All
|
|
unit files symlinked from such a directory are
|
|
implicitly added as dependencies of type
|
|
<varname>Wanted=</varname> to the unit. This is useful
|
|
to hook units into the start-up of other units,
|
|
without having to modify their unit files. For details
|
|
about the semantics of <varname>Wanted=</varname> see
|
|
below. The preferred way to create symlinks in the
|
|
<filename>.wants/</filename> directory of a unit file
|
|
is with the <command>enable</command> command of the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
tool which reads information from the [Install]
|
|
section of unit files (see below). A similar
|
|
functionality exists for <varname>Requires=</varname>
|
|
type dependencies as well, the directory suffix is
|
|
<filename>.requires/</filename> in this case.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Along with a unit file
|
|
<filename>foo.service</filename> a directory
|
|
<filename>foo.service.d/</filename> may exist. All
|
|
files with the suffix <literal>.conf</literal> from
|
|
this directory will be parsed after the file itself is
|
|
parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration
|
|
settings to a unit, without having to modify their
|
|
unit files. Make sure that the file that is included
|
|
has the appropriate section headers before any
|
|
directive.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a line starts with <option>.include</option>
|
|
followed by a filename, the specified file will be
|
|
parsed at this point. Make sure that the file that is
|
|
included has the appropriate section headers before
|
|
any directives.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that while systemd offers a flexible
|
|
dependency system between units it is recommended to
|
|
use this functionality only sparingly and instead rely
|
|
on techniques such as bus-based or socket-based
|
|
activation which make dependencies implicit, resulting
|
|
in a both simpler and more flexible system.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Some unit names reflect paths existing in the
|
|
file system namespace. Example: a device unit
|
|
<filename>dev-sda.device</filename> refers to a device
|
|
with the device node <filename noindex='true'>/dev/sda</filename> in
|
|
the file system namespace. If this applies a special
|
|
way to escape the path name is used, so that the
|
|
result is usable as part of a filename. Basically,
|
|
given a path, "/" is replaced by "-", and all
|
|
unprintable characters and the "-" are replaced by
|
|
C-style "\x20" escapes. The root directory "/" is
|
|
encoded as single dash, while otherwise the initial
|
|
and ending "/" is removed from all paths during
|
|
transformation. 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 <literal>@</literal> character, systemd will look for a
|
|
unit template that shares the same name but with the
|
|
instance string (i.e. the part between the <literal>@</literal> 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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. See below for details.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a unit file is empty (i.e. has the file size
|
|
0) or is symlinked to <filename>/dev/null</filename>
|
|
its configuration will not be loaded and it appears
|
|
with a load state of <literal>masked</literal>, and
|
|
cannot be activated. Use this as an effective way to
|
|
fully disable a unit, making it impossible to start it
|
|
even manually.</para>

two units with an ordering dependency

inverse of the start-up order is

applied. i.e. if a unit is configured

another unit, the former is stopped

type <varname>After=</varname> or

<para>If multiple conditions are

specified the unit will be executed if

all of them apply (i.e. a logical AND

is applied). Condition checks can be
|
|
prefixed with a pipe symbol (|) in
|
|
which case a condition becomes a
|
|
triggering condition. If at least one
|
|
triggering condition is defined for a
|
|
unit then the unit will be executed if
|
|
at least one of the triggering
|
|
conditions apply and all of the
|
|
non-triggering conditions. If you
|
|
prefix an argument with the pipe
|
|
symbol and an exclamation mark the
|
|
pipe symbol must be passed first, the
|
|
exclamation second. Except for
|
|
<varname>ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink=</varname>,
|
|
all path checks follow symlinks. If
|
|
any of these options is assigned the
|
|
empty string the list of conditions is
|
|
reset completely, all previous

condition settings (of any kind) will
