+ prompts are started dynamically as the user switches to unused
+ virtual terminals. Hence, this parameter controls how many
+ login <literal>gettys</literal> are available on the VTs. If a
+ VT is already used by some other subsystem (for example, a
+ graphical login), this kind of activation will not be
+ attempted. Note that the VT configured in

+ of activation, even if it is not one of the VTs configured
+ with the <varname>NAutoVTs=</varname> directive. Defaults to

+ This functionality is useful to ensure that, regardless of how

+ <varname>HandleHibernateKey=</varname> defaults to

+ This is most commonly used by graphical desktop environments
+ to take over suspend and hibernation handling, and to use their own configuration

+ action when that key or switch is triggered and the <varname>Handle*=</varname>

+ <term><varname>HoldoffTimeoutSec=</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Specifies the timeout after system startup or

+ (IEC). Alternatively, a numerical percentage suffixed by
+ <literal>%</literal> may be specified, which sets the size
+ limit relative to the amount of physical RAM. Defaults to 10%.
