<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-debug-generator</filename> is a generator
that reads the kernel command line and understands three
options:</para>
<para>If the <option>systemd.mask=</option> or <option>rd.systemd.mask=</option>
option is specified and followed by a unit name, this unit is
masked for the runtime (i.e. for this session — from boot to shutdown), similarly to the effect of
2015-02-04 05:14:13 +03:00
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
<command>mask</command> command. This is useful to boot with
certain units removed from the initial boot transaction for
debugging system startup. May be specified more than once.
<option>rd.systemd.mask=</option> is honored only by initial
RAM disk (initrd) while <option>systemd.mask=</option> is
honored only in the main system.</para>
2015-02-04 05:14:13 +03:00
<para>If the <option>systemd.wants=</option> or
<option>rd.systemd.wants=</option> option is specified
2015-02-04 05:14:13 +03:00
and followed by a unit name, a start job for this unit is added to
the initial transaction. This is useful to start one or more
additional units at boot. May be specified more than once.
<option>rd.systemd.wants=</option> is honored only by initial
RAM disk (initrd) while <option>systemd.wants=</option> is
honored only in the main system.</para>
2015-02-04 05:14:13 +03:00
<para>If the <option>systemd.debug_shell</option> or
<option>rd.systemd.debug_shell</option> option is
2015-02-04 05:14:13 +03:00
specified, the debug shell service
<literal>debug-shell.service</literal> is pulled into the boot
transaction and a debug shell will be spawned during early boot.
By default, <filename>&DEBUGTTY;</filename> is used, but a specific tty can also be set,
either with or without the <filename>/dev/</filename> prefix.
Note that the shell may also be turned on persistently by enabling it with
2015-02-04 05:14:13 +03:00
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
<command>enable</command> command.
<option>rd.systemd.debug_shell=</option> is honored only by initial
RAM disk (initrd) while <option>systemd.debug_shell</option> is
honored only in the main system.</para>
