+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para>Preset files may be used to encode policy which units shall
+    be enabled by default and which ones shall be disabled. They are
+    read by <command>systemctl preset</command> (for more information
+    see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
+    which uses this information to enable or disable a unit according
+    to preset policy. <command>systemctl preset</command> is used by
+    the post install scriptlets of RPM packages (or other OS package
+    formats), to enable/disable specific units by default on package
+    installation, enforcing distribution, spin or administrator preset
+    policy. This allows choosing a certain set of units to be
+    enabled/disabled even before installing the actual package.</para>
+
+    <para>For more information on the preset logic please have a look
+    at the <ulink
+    url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Preset">Presets</ulink>
+    document.</para>
+
+    <para>It is not recommended to ship preset files within the
+    respective software packages implementing the units, but rather
+    centralize them in a distribution or spin default policy, which
+    can be amended by administrator policy.</para>
+
+    <para>If no preset files exist, <command>systemctl
+    preset</command> will enable all units that are installed by
+    default. If this is not desired and all units shall rather be
+    disabled, it is necessary to ship a preset file with a single,
+    catchall "<filename>disable *</filename>" line. (See example 1,
+    below.)</para>
+  </refsect1>
+
+  <refsect1>
+    <title>Preset File Format</title>
+
+    <para>The preset files contain a list of directives consisting of
+    either the word <literal>enable</literal> or
+    <literal>disable</literal> followed by a space and a unit name
+    (possibly with shell style wildcards), separated by newlines.
+    Empty lines and lines whose first non-whitespace character is # or
+    ; are ignored.</para>
+
+    <para>Presets must refer to the "real" unit file, and not to any aliases. See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for a description of unit aliasing.</para>
+
+    <para>Two different directives are understood:
+    <literal>enable</literal> may be used to enable units by default,
+    <literal>disable</literal> to disable units by default.</para>
+
+    <para>If multiple lines apply to a unit name, the first matching
+    one takes precedence over all others.</para>
+
+    <para>Each preset file shall be named in the style of
+    <filename>&lt;priority&gt;-&lt;policy-name&gt;.preset</filename>. Files
+    in <filename>/etc/</filename> override files with the same name in
+    <filename>/usr/lib/</filename> and <filename>/run/</filename>.
+    Files in <filename>/run/</filename> override files with the same
+    name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages should install
+    their preset files in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Files in
+    <filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
+    administrator, who may use this logic to override the preset files
+    installed by vendor packages. All preset files are sorted by their
+    filename in lexicographic order, regardless of which of the
+    directories they reside in. If multiple files specify the same
+    unit name, the entry in the file with the lexicographically
+    earliest name will be applied. It is recommended to prefix all
+    filenames with a two-digit number and a dash, to simplify the
+    ordering of the files.</para>
+
+    <para>If the administrator wants to disable a preset file supplied
+    by the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink to
+    <filename>/dev/null</filename> in
+    <filename>/etc/systemd/system-preset/</filename> bearing the same
+    filename.</para>
+  </refsect1>

+    <title>Examples</title>
+
+    <example>
+      <title>Default to off</title>
+
+      <programlisting># /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/99-default.preset
+
+disable *</programlisting>
+    </example>
+
+    <para>This disables all units. Due to the filename prefix
+    <literal>99-</literal>, it will be read last and hence can easily
+    be overridden by spin or administrator preset policy.</para>
+
+    <example>
+      <title>A GNOME spin</title>
+
+      <programlisting># /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/50-gnome.preset
+
+enable gdm.service
+enable colord.service
+enable accounts-daemon.service
+enable avahi-daemon.*</programlisting>
+
+    </example>
+
+    <para>This enables the three mentioned units, plus all
+    <filename>avahi-daemon</filename> regardless of which unit type. A
+    file like this could be useful for inclusion in a GNOME spin of a
+    distribution. It will ensure that the units necessary for GNOME
+    are properly enabled as they are installed. It leaves all other
+    units untouched, and subject to other (later) preset files, for
+    example like the one from the first example above.</para>
+
+    <example>
+      <title>Administrator policy</title>
+
+      <programlisting># /etc/systemd/system-preset/00-lennart.preset
+
+enable httpd.service
+enable sshd.service
+enable postfix.service
+disable *</programlisting>
+    </example>
+
+    <para>This enables three specific services and disables all
+    others. This is useful for administrators to specifically select
+    the units to enable, and disable all others. Due to the filename
+    prefix <literal>00-</literal> it will be read early and
+    override all other preset policy files.</para>
