+
+ <para>A number of different components are involved in the system
+ boot. Immediately after power-up, the system BIOS will do minimal
+ hardware initialization, and hand control over to a boot loader
+ stored on a persistent storage device. This boot loader will then
+ invoke an OS kernel from disk (or the network). In the Linux case,
+ this kernel (optionally) extracts and executes an initial RAM disk
+ image (initrd), such as generated by
+ <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>dracut</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ which looks for the root file system (possibly using
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for this). After the root file system is found and mounted, the
+ initrd hands over control to the host's system manager (such as
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
+ stored on the OS image, which is then responsible for probing all
+ remaining hardware, mounting all necessary file systems and
+ spawning all configured services.</para>
+
+ <para>On shutdown, the system manager stops all services, unmounts
+ all file systems (detaching the storage technologies backing
+ them), and then (optionally) jumps back into the initrd code which
+ unmounts/detaches the root file system and the storage it resides
+ on. As a last step, the system is powered down.</para>
+
+ <para>Additional information about the system boot process may be
+ found in
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>boot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>System Manager Bootup</title>
+
+ <para>At boot, the system manager on the OS image is responsible
+ for initializing the required file systems, services and drivers
+ that are necessary for operation of the system. On
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ systems, this process is split up in various discrete steps which
+ are exposed as target units. (See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.target</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for detailed information about target units.) The boot-up process
+ is highly parallelized so that the order in which specific target
+ units are reached is not deterministic, but still adheres to a
+ limited amount of ordering structure.</para>
+
+ <para>When systemd starts up the system, it will activate all
+ units that are dependencies of <filename>default.target</filename>
+ (as well as recursively all dependencies of these dependencies).
+ Usually, <filename>default.target</filename> is simply an alias of
+ <filename>graphical.target</filename> or
+ <filename>multi-user.target</filename>, depending on whether the
+ system is configured for a graphical UI or only for a text
+ console. To enforce minimal ordering between the units pulled in,
+ a number of well-known target units are available, as listed on
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>The following chart is a structural overview of these
+ well-known units and their position in the boot-up logic. The
+ arrows describe which units are pulled in and ordered before which
+ other units. Units near the top are started before units nearer to
+ the bottom of the chart.</para>

+ or by symlinking <filename>default.target</filename> to them.

+
+ <para><filename>timers.target</filename> is pulled-in by

+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Bootup in the Initial RAM Disk (initrd)</title>
+ <para>The initial RAM disk implementation (initrd) can be set up
+ using systemd as well. In this case, boot up inside the initrd
+ follows the following structure.</para>
+
+ <para>The default target in the initrd is
+ <filename>initrd.target</filename>. The bootup process begins
+ identical to the system manager bootup (see above) until it
+ reaches <filename>basic.target</filename>. From there, systemd
+ approaches the special target <filename>initrd.target</filename>.
+
+ Before any file systems are mounted, it must be determined whether
+ the system will resume from hibernation or proceed with normal boot.
+ This is accomplished by <filename>systemd-hibernate-resume@.service</filename>
+ which must be finished before <filename>local-fs-pre.target</filename>,
+ so no filesystems can be mounted before the check is complete.
+
+ When the root device becomes available,
+ <filename>initd-root-device.target</filename> is reached.
+ If the root device can be mounted at
+ <filename>/sysroot</filename>, the
+ <filename>sysroot.mount</filename> unit becomes active and
+ <filename>initrd-root-fs.target</filename> is reached. The service
+ <filename>initrd-parse-etc.service</filename> scans
+ <filename>/sysroot/etc/fstab</filename> for a possible
+ <filename>/usr</filename> mount point and additional entries
+ marked with the <emphasis>x-initrd.mount</emphasis> option. All
+ entries found are mounted below <filename>/sysroot</filename>, and
+ <filename>initrd-fs.target</filename> is reached. The service
+ <filename>initrd-cleanup.service</filename> isolates to the
+ <filename>initrd-switch-root.target</filename>, where cleanup
+ services can run. As the very last step, the
+ <filename>initrd-switch-root.service</filename> is activated,
+ which will cause the system to switch its root to
+ <filename>/sysroot</filename>.

+ remaining file systems, kill any remaining processes and release any other remaining resources, in a simple and
+ robust fashion, without taking any service or unit concept into account anymore. At that point, regular
+ applications and resources are generally terminated and released already, the second phase hence operates only as

+ <title>Parameter Formatting</title>
+
+ <para>The <command>call</command> and

+ followed by a list of parameters formatted as string (for details
+ on D-Bus signature strings, see the <ulink
+ url="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#type-system">Type
+ system chapter of the D-Bus specification</ulink>). For simple
+ types, each parameter following the signature should simply be the
+ parameter's value formatted as string. Positive boolean values may
+ be formatted as <literal>true</literal>, <literal>yes</literal>,
+ <literal>on</literal>, or <literal>1</literal>; negative boolean
+ values may be specified as <literal>false</literal>,
+ <literal>no</literal>, <literal>off</literal>, or
+ <literal>0</literal>. For arrays, a numeric argument for the
+ number of entries followed by the entries shall be specified. For
+ variants, the signature of the contents shall be specified,
+ followed by the contents. For dictionaries and structs, the
+ contents of them shall be directly specified.</para>
+
+ <para>For example,
+ <programlisting>s jawoll</programlisting> is the formatting
+ of a single string <literal>jawoll</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ <programlisting>as 3 hello world foobar</programlisting>
+ is the formatting of a string array with three entries,
+ <literal>hello</literal>, <literal>world</literal> and
+ <literal>foobar</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ <programlisting>a{sv} 3 One s Eins Two u 2 Yes b true</programlisting>
+ is the formatting of a dictionary
+ array that maps strings to variants, consisting of three
+ entries. The string <literal>One</literal> is assigned the
+ string <literal>Eins</literal>. The string
+ <literal>Two</literal> is assigned the 32-bit unsigned
+ integer 2. The string <literal>Yes</literal> is assigned a
+ positive boolean.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the <command>call</command>,
+ <command>get-property</command>, <command>introspect</command>
+ commands will also generate output in this format for the returned
+ data. Since this format is sometimes too terse to be easily
+ understood, the <command>call</command> and
+ <command>get-property</command> commands may generate a more
+ verbose, multi-line output when passed the
+ <option>--verbose</option> option.</para>

+ <title>Examples</title>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Write and Read a Property</title>
+
+ <para>The following two commands first write a property and then
+ read it back. The property is found on the
+ <literal>/org/freedesktop/systemd1</literal> object of the
+ <literal>org.freedesktop.systemd1</literal> service. The name of
+ the property is <literal>LogLevel</literal> on the
+ <literal>org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager</literal>
+ interface. The property contains a single string:</para>
+
+ <programlisting># busctl set-property org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1 org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager LogLevel s debug
+# busctl get-property org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1 org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager LogLevel
+s "debug"</programlisting>
+
+ </example>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Terse and Verbose Output</title>
+
+ <para>The following two commands read a property that contains
+ an array of strings, and first show it in terse format, followed
+ by verbose format:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>$ busctl get-property org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1 org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager Environment
+as 2 "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin"

+ARRAY "s" {
+ STRING "LANG=en_US.UTF-8";
+ STRING "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin";
+};</programlisting>
+ </example>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Invoking a Method</title>
+
+ <para>The following command invokes the
+ <literal>StartUnit</literal> method on the
+ <literal>org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager</literal>
+ interface of the
+ <literal>/org/freedesktop/systemd1</literal> object
+ of the <literal>org.freedesktop.systemd1</literal>
+ service, and passes it two strings
+ <literal>cups.service</literal> and
+ <literal>replace</literal>. As a result of the method
+ call, a single object path parameter is received and
+ shown:</para>
+
+ <programlisting># busctl call org.freedesktop.systemd1 /org/freedesktop/systemd1 org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager StartUnit ss "cups.service" "replace"

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>The <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> file describes
+ encrypted block devices that are set up during system boot.</para>
+
+ <para>Empty lines and lines starting with the <literal>#</literal>
+ character are ignored. Each of the remaining lines describes one
+ encrypted block device. Fields are delimited by white space.</para>
+
+ <para>Each line is in the form<programlisting><replaceable>name</replaceable> <replaceable>encrypted-device</replaceable> <replaceable>password</replaceable> <replaceable>options</replaceable></programlisting>
+ The first two fields are mandatory, the remaining two are
+ optional.</para>
+
+ <para>Setting up encrypted block devices using this file supports
+ three encryption modes: LUKS, TrueCrypt and plain. See
+ <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information about each mode. When no mode is specified in
+ the options field and the block device contains a LUKS signature,
+ it is opened as a LUKS device; otherwise, it is assumed to be in
+ raw dm-crypt (plain mode) format.</para>
+
+ <para>The first field contains the name of the resulting encrypted
+ block device; the device is set up within
+ <filename>/dev/mapper/</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>The second field contains a path to the underlying block
+ device or file, or a specification of a block device via
+ <literal>UUID=</literal> followed by the UUID.</para>
+
+ <para>The third field specifies the encryption password. If the
+ field is not present or the password is set to
+ <literal>none</literal> or <literal>-</literal>, the password has
+ to be manually entered during system boot. Otherwise, the field is
+ interpreted as an absolute path to a file containing the encryption
+ password. For swap encryption, <filename>/dev/urandom</filename>
+ or the hardware device <filename>/dev/hw_random</filename> can be
+ used as the password file; using <filename>/dev/random</filename>
+ may prevent boot completion if the system does not have enough
+ entropy to generate a truly random encryption key.</para>
+
+ <para>The fourth field, if present, is a comma-delimited list of
+ options. The following options are recognized:</para>
+
+ <variablelist class='fstab-options'>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>A daemon is a service process that runs in the background
+ and supervises the system or provides functionality to other
+ processes. Traditionally, daemons are implemented following a
+ scheme originating in SysV Unix. Modern daemons should follow a
+ simpler yet more powerful scheme (here called "new-style"
+ daemons), as implemented by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ This manual page covers both schemes, and in particular includes
+ recommendations for daemons that shall be included in the systemd
+ init system.</para>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>SysV Daemons</title>
+
+ <para>When a traditional SysV daemon starts, it should execute
+ the following steps as part of the initialization. Note that
+ these steps are unnecessary for new-style daemons (see below),
+ and should only be implemented if compatibility with SysV is
+ essential.</para>
+
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Close all open file descriptors except
+ standard input, output, and error (i.e. the first three file
+ descriptors 0, 1, 2). This ensures that no accidentally passed
+ file descriptor stays around in the daemon process. On Linux,
+ this is best implemented by iterating through
+ <filename>/proc/self/fd</filename>, with a fallback of
+ iterating from file descriptor 3 to the value returned by
+ <function>getrlimit()</function> for
+ <constant>RLIMIT_NOFILE</constant>. </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Reset all signal handlers to their default.
+ This is best done by iterating through the available signals
+ up to the limit of <constant>_NSIG</constant> and resetting
+ them to <constant>SIG_DFL</constant>.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Reset the signal mask
+ using
+ <function>sigprocmask()</function>.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Sanitize the environment block, removing or
+ resetting environment variables that might negatively impact
+ daemon runtime.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Call <function>fork()</function>, to create a
+ background process.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>In the child, call
+ <function>setsid()</function> to detach from any terminal and
+ create an independent session.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>In the child, call <function>fork()</function>
+ again, to ensure that the daemon can never re-acquire a
+ terminal again.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Call <function>exit()</function> in the first
+ child, so that only the second child (the actual daemon
+ process) stays around. This ensures that the daemon process is
+ re-parented to init/PID 1, as all daemons should
+ be.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>In the daemon process, connect
+ <filename>/dev/null</filename> to standard input, output, and
+ error.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>In the daemon process, reset the umask to 0,
+ so that the file modes passed to <function>open()</function>,
+ <function>mkdir()</function> and suchlike directly control the
+ access mode of the created files and
+ directories.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>In the daemon process, change the current
+ directory to the root directory (/), in order to avoid that
+ the daemon involuntarily blocks mount points from being
+ unmounted.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>In the daemon process, write the daemon PID
+ (as returned by <function>getpid()</function>) to a PID file,
+ for example <filename>/run/foobar.pid</filename> (for a
+ hypothetical daemon "foobar") to ensure that the daemon cannot
+ be started more than once. This must be implemented in
+ race-free fashion so that the PID file is only updated when it
+ is verified at the same time that the PID previously stored in
+ the PID file no longer exists or belongs to a foreign
+ process.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>In the daemon process, drop privileges, if
+ possible and applicable.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>From the daemon process, notify the original
+ process started that initialization is complete. This can be
+ implemented via an unnamed pipe or similar communication
+ channel that is created before the first
+ <function>fork()</function> and hence available in both the
+ original and the daemon process.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Call <function>exit()</function> in the
+ original process. The process that invoked the daemon must be
+ able to rely on that this <function>exit()</function> happens
+ after initialization is complete and all external
+ communication channels are established and
+ accessible.</para></listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>The BSD <function>daemon()</function> function should not
+ be used, as it implements only a subset of these steps.</para>
+
+ <para>A daemon that needs to provide compatibility with SysV
+ systems should implement the scheme pointed out above. However,
+ it is recommended to make this behavior optional and
+ configurable via a command line argument to ease debugging as
+ well as to simplify integration into systems using
+ systemd.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>New-Style Daemons</title>
+
+ <para>Modern services for Linux should be implemented as
+ new-style daemons. This makes it easier to supervise and control
+ them at runtime and simplifies their implementation.</para>
+
+ <para>For developing a new-style daemon, none of the
+ initialization steps recommended for SysV daemons need to be
+ implemented. New-style init systems such as systemd make all of
+ them redundant. Moreover, since some of these steps interfere
+ with process monitoring, file descriptor passing and other
+ functionality of the init system, it is recommended not to
+ execute them when run as new-style service.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that new-style init systems guarantee execution of daemon processes in a clean process context: it is
+ guaranteed that the environment block is sanitized, that the signal handlers and mask is reset and that no
+ left-over file descriptors are passed. Daemons will be executed in their own session, with standard input
+ connected to <filename>/dev/null</filename> and standard output/error connected to the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journald.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ logging service, unless otherwise configured. The umask is reset.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended for new-style daemons to implement the
+ following:</para>
+
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>If <constant>SIGTERM</constant> is received,
+ shut down the daemon and exit cleanly.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>If <constant>SIGHUP</constant> is received,
+ reload the configuration files, if this
+ applies.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Provide a correct exit code from the main
+ daemon process, as this is used by the init system to detect
+ service errors and problems. It is recommended to follow the
+ exit code scheme as defined in the <ulink
+ url="http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_3.1.1/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html">LSB
+ recommendations for SysV init
+ scripts</ulink>.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>If possible and applicable, expose the
+ daemon's control interface via the D-Bus IPC system and grab a
+ bus name as last step of initialization.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>For integration in systemd, provide a
+ <filename>.service</filename> unit file that carries
+ information about starting, stopping and otherwise maintaining
+ the daemon. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>As much as possible, rely on the init system's
+ functionality to limit the access of the daemon to files,
+ services and other resources, i.e. in the case of systemd,
+ rely on systemd's resource limit control instead of
+ implementing your own, rely on systemd's privilege dropping

+ <listitem><para>If your daemon provides services to other

+ <title>Activation</title>
+
+ <para>New-style init systems provide multiple additional
+ mechanisms to activate services, as detailed below. It is common
+ that services are configured to be activated via more than one
+ mechanism at the same time. An example for systemd:
+ <filename>bluetoothd.service</filename> might get activated either
+ when Bluetooth hardware is plugged in, or when an application
+ accesses its programming interfaces via D-Bus. Or, a print server
+ daemon might get activated when traffic arrives at an IPP port, or
+ when a printer is plugged in, or when a file is queued in the
+ printer spool directory. Even for services that are intended to be
+ started on system bootup unconditionally, it is a good idea to
+ implement some of the various activation schemes outlined below,
+ in order to maximize parallelization. If a daemon implements a
+ D-Bus service or listening socket, implementing the full bus and
+ socket activation scheme allows starting of the daemon with its
+ clients in parallel (which speeds up boot-up), since all its
+ communication channels are established already, and no request is
+ lost because client requests will be queued by the bus system (in
+ case of D-Bus) or the kernel (in case of sockets) until the
+ activation is completed.</para>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Activation on Boot</title>
+
+ <para>Old-style daemons are usually activated exclusively on
+ boot (and manually by the administrator) via SysV init scripts,
+ as detailed in the <ulink
+ url="http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_3.1.1/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html">LSB
+ Linux Standard Base Core Specification</ulink>. This method of
+ activation is supported ubiquitously on Linux init systems, both
+ old-style and new-style systems. Among other issues, SysV init
+ scripts have the disadvantage of involving shell scripts in the
+ boot process. New-style init systems generally employ updated
+ versions of activation, both during boot-up and during runtime
+ and using more minimal service description files.</para>
+
+ <para>In systemd, if the developer or administrator wants to
+ make sure that a service or other unit is activated
+ automatically on boot, it is recommended to place a symlink to
+ the unit file in the <filename>.wants/</filename> directory of
+ either <filename>multi-user.target</filename> or
+ <filename>graphical.target</filename>, which are normally used
+ as boot targets at system startup. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details about the <filename>.wants/</filename> directories,
+ and

+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Socket-Based Activation</title>
+
+ <para>In order to maximize the possible parallelization and
+ robustness and simplify configuration and development, it is
+ recommended for all new-style daemons that communicate via
+ listening sockets to employ socket-based activation. In a
+ socket-based activation scheme, the creation and binding of the
+ listening socket as primary communication channel of daemons to
+ local (and sometimes remote) clients is moved out of the daemon
+ code and into the init system. Based on per-daemon
+ configuration, the init system installs the sockets and then
+ hands them off to the spawned process as soon as the respective
+ daemon is to be started. Optionally, activation of the service
+ can be delayed until the first inbound traffic arrives at the
+ socket to implement on-demand activation of daemons. However,
+ the primary advantage of this scheme is that all providers and
+ all consumers of the sockets can be started in parallel as soon
+ as all sockets are established. In addition to that, daemons can
+ be restarted with losing only a minimal number of client
+ transactions, or even any client request at all (the latter is
+ particularly true for state-less protocols, such as DNS or
+ syslog), because the socket stays bound and accessible during
+ the restart, and all requests are queued while the daemon cannot
+ process them.</para>
+
+ <para>New-style daemons which support socket activation must be
+ able to receive their sockets from the init system instead of
+ creating and binding them themselves. For details about the
+ programming interfaces for this scheme provided by systemd, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_listen_fds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ For details about porting existing daemons to socket-based
+ activation, see below. With minimal effort, it is possible to
+ implement socket-based activation in addition to traditional
+ internal socket creation in the same codebase in order to
+ support both new-style and old-style init systems from the same
+ daemon binary.</para>
+
+ <para>systemd implements socket-based activation via
+ <filename>.socket</filename> units, which are described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ When configuring socket units for socket-based activation, it is
+ essential that all listening sockets are pulled in by the
+ special target unit <filename>sockets.target</filename>. It is
+ recommended to place a
+ <varname>WantedBy=sockets.target</varname> directive in the
+ <literal>[Install]</literal> section to automatically add such a
+ dependency on installation of a socket unit. Unless
+ <varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname> is set, the necessary
+ ordering dependencies are implicitly created for all socket
+ units. For more information about
+ <filename>sockets.target</filename>, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ It is not necessary or recommended to place any additional
+ dependencies on socket units (for example from
+ <filename>multi-user.target</filename> or suchlike) when one is
+ installed in <filename>sockets.target</filename>.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Bus-Based Activation</title>
+
+ <para>When the D-Bus IPC system is used for communication with
+ clients, new-style daemons should employ bus activation so that
+ they are automatically activated when a client application
+ accesses their IPC interfaces. This is configured in D-Bus
+ service files (not to be confused with systemd service unit
+ files!). To ensure that D-Bus uses systemd to start-up and
+ maintain the daemon, use the <varname>SystemdService=</varname>
+ directive in these service files to configure the matching
+ systemd service for a D-Bus service. e.g.: For a D-Bus service
+ whose D-Bus activation file is named
+ <filename>org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit.service</filename>, make
+ sure to set
+ <varname>SystemdService=rtkit-daemon.service</varname> in that
+ file to bind it to the systemd service
+ <filename>rtkit-daemon.service</filename>. This is needed to
+ make sure that the daemon is started in a race-free fashion when
+ activated via multiple mechanisms simultaneously.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Device-Based Activation</title>
+
+ <para>Often, daemons that manage a particular type of hardware
+ should be activated only when the hardware of the respective
+ kind is plugged in or otherwise becomes available. In a
+ new-style init system, it is possible to bind activation to
+ hardware plug/unplug events. In systemd, kernel devices
+ appearing in the sysfs/udev device tree can be exposed as units
+ if they are tagged with the string <literal>systemd</literal>.
+ Like any other kind of unit, they may then pull in other units
+ when activated (i.e. plugged in) and thus implement device-based
+ activation. systemd dependencies may be encoded in the udev
+ database via the <varname>SYSTEMD_WANTS=</varname> property. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.device</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. Often, it is nicer to pull in services from devices
+ only indirectly via dedicated targets. Example: Instead of
+ pulling in <filename>bluetoothd.service</filename> from all the
+ various bluetooth dongles and other hardware available, pull in
+ bluetooth.target from them and
+ <filename>bluetoothd.service</filename> from that target. This
+ provides for nicer abstraction and gives administrators the
+ option to enable <filename>bluetoothd.service</filename> via
+ controlling a <filename>bluetooth.target.wants/</filename>
+ symlink uniformly with a command like <command>enable</command>
+ of
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ instead of manipulating the udev ruleset.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Path-Based Activation</title>
+
+ <para>Often, runtime of daemons processing spool files or
+ directories (such as a printing system) can be delayed until
+ these file system objects change state, or become non-empty.
+ New-style init systems provide a way to bind service activation
+ to file system changes. systemd implements this scheme via
+ path-based activation configured in <filename>.path</filename>
+ units, as outlined in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.path</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Timer-Based Activation</title>
+
+ <para>Some daemons that implement clean-up jobs that are
+ intended to be executed in regular intervals benefit from
+ timer-based activation. In systemd, this is implemented via
+ <filename>.timer</filename> units, as described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.timer</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Other Forms of Activation</title>
+
+ <para>Other forms of activation have been suggested and
+ implemented in some systems. However, there are often simpler or
+ better alternatives, or they can be put together of combinations
+ of the schemes above. Example: Sometimes, it appears useful to
+ start daemons or <filename>.socket</filename> units when a
+ specific IP address is configured on a network interface,
+ because network sockets shall be bound to the address. However,
+ an alternative to implement this is by utilizing the Linux
+ <constant>IP_FREEBIND</constant> socket option, as accessible
+ via <varname>FreeBind=yes</varname> in systemd socket files (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details). This option, when enabled, allows sockets to be
+ bound to a non-local, not configured IP address, and hence
+ allows bindings to a particular IP address before it actually
+ becomes available, making such an explicit dependency to the
+ configured address redundant. Another often suggested trigger
+ for service activation is low system load. However, here too, a
+ more convincing approach might be to make proper use of features
+ of the operating system, in particular, the CPU or I/O scheduler
+ of Linux. Instead of scheduling jobs from userspace based on
+ monitoring the OS scheduler, it is advisable to leave the
+ scheduling of processes to the OS scheduler itself. systemd
+ provides fine-grained access to the CPU and I/O schedulers. If a
+ process executed by the init system shall not negatively impact
+ the amount of CPU or I/O bandwidth available to other processes,
+ it should be configured with
+ <varname>CPUSchedulingPolicy=idle</varname> and/or
+ <varname>IOSchedulingClass=idle</varname>. Optionally, this may
+ be combined with timer-based activation to schedule background
+ jobs during runtime and with minimal impact on the system, and
+ remove it from the boot phase itself.</para>

+ <title>Installing systemd Service Files</title>

+ Optionally, during package installation (e.g. <command>rpm

+
+ <para>Additionally, to ensure that

+
+ <para>To facilitate upgrades from a package version that shipped

+fi</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Where 0.47.11-1 is the first package version that includes
+ the native unit file. This fragment will ensure that the first
+ time the unit file is installed, it will be enabled if and only
+ if the SysV init script is enabled, thus making sure that the
+ enable status is not changed. Note that
+ <command>chkconfig</command> is a command specific to Fedora

+ <title>Positive Trust Anchors</title>
+
+ <para>Positive trust anchor configuration files contain DNSKEY and
+ DS resource record definitions to use as base for DNSSEC integrity
+ proofs. See <ulink
+ url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4035#section-4.4">RFC 4035,
+ Section 4.4</ulink> for more information about DNSSEC trust
+ anchors.</para>
+
+ <para>Positive trust anchors are read from files with the suffix
+ <filename>.positive</filename> located in
+ <filename>/etc/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/</filename>,
+ <filename>/run/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/</filename> and
+ <filename>/usr/lib/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/</filename>. These
+ directories are searched in the specified order, and a trust
+ anchor file of the same name in an earlier path overrides a trust
+ anchor files in a later path. To disable a trust anchor file
+ shipped in <filename>/usr/lib/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/</filename>
+ it is sufficient to provide an identically-named file in
+ <filename>/etc/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/</filename> or
+ <filename>/run/dnssec-trust-anchors.d/</filename> that is either
+ empty or a symlink to <filename>/dev/null</filename> ("masked").</para>
+
+ <para>Positive trust anchor files are simple text files resembling
+ DNS zone files, as documented in <ulink
+ url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035#section-5">RFC 1035, Section
+ 5</ulink>. One DS or DNSKEY resource record may be listed per
+ line. Empty lines and lines starting with a semicolon
+ (<literal>;</literal>) are ignored and considered comments. A DS
+ resource record is specified like in the following example:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>. IN DS 19036 8 2 49aac11d7b6f6446702e54a1607371607a1a41855200fd2ce1cdde32f24e8fb5</programlisting>
+
+ <para>The first word specifies the domain, use
+ <literal>.</literal> for the root domain. The domain may be
+ specified with or without trailing dot, which is considered
+ equivalent. The second word must be <literal>IN</literal> the
+ third word <literal>DS</literal>. The following words specify the
+ key tag, signature algorithm, digest algorithm, followed by the
+ hex-encoded key fingerprint. See <ulink
+ url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#section-5">RFC 4034,
+ Section 5</ulink> for details about the precise syntax and meaning
+ of these fields.</para>
+
+ <para>Alternatively, DNSKEY resource records may be used to define
+ trust anchors, like in the following example:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>. IN DNSKEY 257 3 8 AwEAAagAIKlVZrpC6Ia7gEzahOR+9W29euxhJhVVLOyQbSEW0O8gcCjFFVQUTf6v58fLjwBd0YI0EzrAcQqBGCzh/RStIoO8g0NfnfL2MTJRkxoXbfDaUeVPQuYEhg37NZWAJQ9VnMVDxP/VHL496M/QZxkjf5/Efucp2gaDX6RS6CXpoY68LsvPVjR0ZSwzz1apAzvN9dlzEheX7ICJBBtuA6G3LQpzW5hOA2hzCTMjJPJ8LbqF6dsV6DoBQzgul0sGIcGOYl7OyQdXfZ57relSQageu+ipAdTTJ25AsRTAoub8ONGcLmqrAmRLKBP1dfwhYB4N7knNnulqQxA+Uk1ihz0=</programlisting>
+
+ <para>The first word specifies the domain again, the second word
+ must be <literal>IN</literal>, followed by
+ <literal>DNSKEY</literal>. The subsequent words encode the DNSKEY
+ flags, protocol and algorithm fields, followed by the key data
+ encoded in Base64. See <ulink
+ url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#section-2">RFC 4034,
+ Section 2</ulink> for details about the precise syntax and meaning
+ of these fields.</para>
+
+ <para>If multiple DS or DNSKEY records are defined for the same
+ domain (possibly even in different trust anchor files), all keys
+ are used and are considered equivalent as base for DNSSEC
+ proofs.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> will
+ automatically use a built-in trust anchor key for the Internet
+ root domain if no positive trust anchors are defined for the root
+ domain. In most cases it is hence unnecessary to define an
+ explicit key with trust anchor files. The built-in key is disabled
+ as soon as at least one trust anchor key for the root domain is
+ defined in trust anchor files.</para>
+
+ <para>It is generally recommended to encode trust anchors in DS
+ resource records, rather than DNSKEY resource records.</para>
+
+ <para>If a trust anchor specified via a DS record is found revoked
+ it is automatically removed from the trust anchor database for the
+ runtime. See <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5011">RFC
+ 5011</ulink> for details about revoked trust anchors. Note that
+ <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> will not update its trust
+ anchor database from DNS servers automatically. Instead, it is
+ recommended to update the resolver software or update the new
+ trust anchor via adding in new trust anchor files.</para>
+
+ <para>The current DNSSEC trust anchor for the Internet's root
+ domain is available at the <ulink
+ url="https://data.iana.org/root-anchors/root-anchors.xml">IANA
+ Trust Anchor and Keys</ulink> page.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Negative Trust Anchors</title>
+
+ <para>Negative trust anchors define domains where DNSSEC validation shall be turned
+ off. Negative trust anchor files are found at the same location as positive trust anchor files,
+ and follow the same overriding rules. They are text files with the
+ <filename>.negative</filename> suffix. Empty lines and lines whose first character is
+ <literal>;</literal> are ignored. Each line specifies one domain name which is the root of a DNS
+ subtree where validation shall be disabled.</para>
+
+ <para>Negative trust anchors are useful to support private DNS
+ subtrees that are not referenced from the Internet DNS hierarchy,
+ and not signed.</para>
+
+ <para><ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7646">RFC
+ 7646</ulink> for details on negative trust anchors.</para>
+
+ <para>If no negative trust anchor files are configured a built-in

+
+ <para>This tool distinguishes three different hostnames: the
+ high-level "pretty" hostname which might include all kinds of
+ special characters (e.g. "Lennart's Laptop"), the static hostname
+ which is used to initialize the kernel hostname at boot (e.g.
+ "lennarts-laptop"), and the transient hostname which is a fallback
+ value received from network configuration. If a static hostname is
+ set, and is valid (something other than localhost), then the
+ transient hostname is not used.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the pretty hostname has little restrictions on the characters and length used, while the static and
+ transient hostnames are limited to the usually accepted characters of Internet domain names, and 64 characters at
+ maximum (the latter being a Linux limitation).</para>
+
+ <para>The static hostname is stored in
+ <filename>/etc/hostname</filename>, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information. The pretty hostname, chassis type, and icon
+ name are stored in <filename>/etc/machine-info</filename>, see

+ <para>The hardware database is a key-value store for associating modalias-like keys to
+ udev-property-like values. It is used primarily by udev to add the relevant properties
+ to matching devices, but it can also be queried directly.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1><title>Hardware Database Files</title>
+ <para>The hwdb files are read from the files located in the
+ system hwdb directory <filename>/usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d</filename> and
+ the local administration directory <filename>/etc/udev/hwdb.d</filename>.
+ All hwdb files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
+ regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
+ identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
+ have the highest priority and take precedence over files with the same
+ name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a
+ system-supplied hwdb file with a local file if needed;
+ a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a hwdb file in
+ <filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
+ disables that hwdb file entirely. hwdb files must have the extension
+ <filename>.hwdb</filename>; other extensions are ignored.</para>
+
+ <para>Each hwdb file contains data records consisting of matches and associated
+ key-value pairs. Every record in the hwdb starts with one or more match strings,
+ specifying a shell glob to compare the lookup string against. Multiple match lines
+ are specified in consecutive lines. Every match line is compared individually, and
+ they are combined by OR. Every match line must start at the first character of the
+ line.</para>
+
+ <para>The match lines are followed by one or more key-value pair lines, which are
+ recognized by a leading space character. The key name and value are separated by
+ <literal>=</literal>. An empty line signifies the end of a record. Lines beginning
+ with <literal>#</literal> are ignored.</para>
+
+ <para>In case multiple records match a given lookup string, the key-value pairs
+ from all records are combined. If a key is specified multiple times, the value
+ from the record with the highest priority is used (each key can have only a single
+ value). The priority is higher when the record is in a file that sorts later
+ lexicographically, and in case of records in the same file, later records have
+ higher priority.</para>
+
+ <para>The content of all hwdb files is read by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-hwdb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and compiled to a binary database located at <filename>/etc/udev/hwdb.bin</filename>,
+ or alternatively <filename>/usr/lib/udev/hwdb.bin</filename> if you want ship the
+ compiled database in an immutable image. During runtime, only the binary database

+
+ <para><command>journalctl</command> may be used to query the
+ contents of the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ journal as written by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journald.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>If called without parameters, it will show the full
+ contents of the journal, starting with the oldest entry
+ collected.</para>
+
+ <para>If one or more match arguments are passed, the output is
+ filtered accordingly. A match is in the format
+ <literal>FIELD=VALUE</literal>,
+ e.g. <literal>_SYSTEMD_UNIT=httpd.service</literal>, referring
+ to the components of a structured journal entry. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for a list of well-known fields. If multiple matches are
+ specified matching different fields, the log entries are
+ filtered by both, i.e. the resulting output will show only
+ entries matching all the specified matches of this kind. If two
+ matches apply to the same field, then they are automatically
+ matched as alternatives, i.e. the resulting output will show
+ entries matching any of the specified matches for the same
+ field. Finally, the character <literal>+</literal> may appear
+ as a separate word between other terms on the command line. This
+ causes all matches before and after to be combined in a
+ disjunction (i.e. logical OR).</para>
+
+ <para>It is also possible to filter the entries by specifying an
+ absolute file path as an argument. The file path may be a file or
+ a symbolic link and the file must exist at the time of the query. If a
+ file path refers to an executable binary, an <literal>_EXE=</literal>
+ match for the canonicalized binary path is added to the query. If a
+ file path refers to an executable script, a <literal>_COMM=</literal>
+ match for the script name is added to the query. If a file path
+ refers to a device node, <literal>_KERNEL_DEVICE=</literal> matches for
+ the kernel name of the device and for each of its ancestor devices is
+ added to the query. Symbolic links are dereferenced, kernel names are
+ synthesized, and parent devices are identified from the environment at
+ the time of the query. In general, a device node is the best proxy for
+ an actual device, as log entries do not usually contain fields that
+ identify an actual device. For the resulting log entries to be correct
+ for the actual device, the relevant parts of the environment at the time
+ the entry was logged, in particular the actual device corresponding to
+ the device node, must have been the same as those at the time of the
+ query. Because device nodes generally change their corresponding devices
+ across reboots, specifying a device node path causes the resulting
+ entries to be restricted to those from the current boot.</para>
+
+ <para>Additional constraints may be added using options
+ <option>--boot</option>, <option>--unit=</option>, etc., to
+ further limit what entries will be shown (logical AND).</para>
+
+ <para>Output is interleaved from all accessible journal files,
+ whether they are rotated or currently being written, and
+ regardless of whether they belong to the system itself or are
+ accessible user journals.</para>
+
+ <para>The set of journal files which will be used can be
+ modified using the <option>--user</option>,
+ <option>--system</option>, <option>--directory</option>, and
+ <option>--file</option> options, see below.</para>
+
+ <para>All users are granted access to their private per-user
+ journals. However, by default, only root and users who are
+ members of a few special groups are granted access to the system
+ journal and the journals of other users. Members of the groups
+ <literal>systemd-journal</literal>, <literal>adm</literal>, and
+ <literal>wheel</literal> can read all journal files. Note
+ that the two latter groups traditionally have additional
+ privileges specified by the distribution. Members of the
+ <literal>wheel</literal> group can often perform administrative
+ tasks.</para>
+
+ <para>The output is paged through <command>less</command> by
+ default, and long lines are "truncated" to screen width. The
+ hidden part can be viewed by using the left-arrow and
+ right-arrow keys. Paging can be disabled; see the
+ <option>--no-pager</option> option and the "Environment" section
+ below.</para>
+
+ <para>When outputting to a tty, lines are colored according to
+ priority: lines of level ERROR and higher are colored red; lines
+ of level NOTICE and higher are highlighted; lines of level DEBUG
+ are colored lighter grey; other lines are displayed normally.</para>

+ <title>Forwarding to traditional syslog daemons</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Journal events can be transferred to a different logging daemon
+ in two different ways. With the first method, messages are
+ immediately forwarded to a socket
+ (<filename>/run/systemd/journal/syslog</filename>), where the
+ traditional syslog daemon can read them. This method is
+ controlled by the <varname>ForwardToSyslog=</varname> option. With a
+ second method, a syslog daemon behaves like a normal journal
+ client, and reads messages from the journal files, similarly to
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journalctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ With this, messages do not have to be read immediately,
+ which allows a logging daemon which is only started late in boot
+ to access all messages since the start of the system. In
+ addition, full structured meta-data is available to it. This
+ method of course is available only if the messages are stored in
+ a journal file at all. So it will not work if
+ <varname>Storage=none</varname> is set. It should be noted that
+ usually the <emphasis>second</emphasis> method is used by syslog
+ daemons, so the <varname>Storage=</varname> option, and not the
+ <varname>ForwardToSyslog=</varname> option, is relevant for them.

+ <para>This parameter controls whether the system shall boot up in volatile mode. Takes a boolean argument, or
+ the special value <literal>state</literal>. If false (the default), normal boot mode is selected, the root
+ directory and <filename>/var</filename> are mounted as specified on the kernel command line or
+ <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>, or otherwise configured. If true, full state-less boot mode is selected. In
+ this case the root directory is mounted as volatile memory file system (<literal>tmpfs</literal>), and only
+ <filename>/usr</filename> is mounted from the file system configured as root device, in read-only mode. This
+ enables fully state-less boots were the vendor-supplied OS is used as shipped, with only default
+ configuration and no stored state in effect, as <filename>/etc</filename> and <filename>/var</filename> (as
+ well as all other resources shipped in the root file system) are reset at boot and lost on shutdown. If this
+ setting is set to <literal>state</literal> the root file system is mounted as usual, however
+ <filename>/var</filename> is mounted as a volatile memory file system (<literal>tmpfs</literal>), so that the
+ system boots up with the normal configuration applied, but all state reset at boot and lost at shutdown. For details,

+ All files are collectively sorted and executed in lexical order, regardless of the directory in

+ in <filename>/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/</filename>. This can be used to override a system-supplied
+ executables with a local file if needed; a symbolic link in <filename>/etc/kernel/install.d/</filename>
+ with the same name as an executable in <filename>/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/</filename>,
+ pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>, disables the executable entirely. Executables must have the
+ extension <literal>.install</literal>; other extensions are ignored.</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>libudev.h</filename> provides APIs to introspect
+ and enumerate devices on the local system.</para>
+
+ <para>All functions require a libudev context to operate. This
+ context can be create via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ It is used to track library state and link objects together. No
+ global state is used by libudev, everything is always linked to
+ a udev context.</para>
+
+ <xi:include href="threads-aware.xml" xpointer="strict"/>
+
+ <para>To introspect a local device on a system, a udev device
+ object can be created via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_device_new_from_syspath</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and friends. The device object allows one to query current state,
+ read and write attributes and lookup properties of the device in
+ question.</para>
+
+ <para>To enumerate local devices on the system, an enumeration
+ object can be created via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_enumerate_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>To monitor the local system for hotplugged or unplugged
+ devices, a monitor can be created via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_monitor_new_from_netlink</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>Whenever libudev returns a list of objects, the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev_list_entry</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ API should be used to iterate, access and modify those lists.</para>
+
+ <para>Furthermore, libudev also exports legacy APIs that should
+ not be used by new software (and as such are not documented as
+ part of this manual). This includes the hardware database known
+ as <constant>udev_hwdb</constant> (please use the new
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-hwdb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ API instead) and the <constant>udev_queue</constant> object to
+ query the udev daemon (which should not be used by new software
+ at all).</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>The <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> file contains the unique machine ID of
+ the local system that is set during installation or boot. The machine ID is a single
+ newline-terminated, hexadecimal, 32-character, lowercase ID. When decoded from
+ hexadecimal, this corresponds to a 16-byte/128-bit value. This ID may not be all
+ zeros.</para>
+
+ <para>The machine ID is usually generated from a random source during system
+ installation or first boot and stays constant for all subsequent boots. Optionally,
+ for stateless systems, it is generated during runtime during early boot if necessary.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The machine ID may be set, for example when network booting, with the
+ <varname>systemd.machine_id=</varname> kernel command line parameter or by passing the
+ option <option>--machine-id=</option> to systemd. An ID is specified in this manner
+ has higher priority and will be used instead of the ID stored in
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>The machine ID does not change based on local or network configuration or when
+ hardware is replaced. Due to this and its greater length, it is a more useful
+ replacement for the
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>gethostid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call that POSIX specifies.</para>
+
+ <para>This machine ID adheres to the same format and logic as the
+ D-Bus machine ID.</para>
+
+ <para>This ID uniquely identifies the host. It should be considered "confidential", and must not be exposed in
+ untrusted environments, in particular on the network. If a stable unique identifier that is tied to the machine is
+ needed for some application, the machine ID or any part of it must not be used directly. Instead the machine ID
+ should be hashed with a cryptographic, keyed hash function, using a fixed, application-specific key. That way the
+ ID will be properly unique, and derived in a constant way from the machine ID but there will be no way to retrieve
+ the original machine ID from the application-specific one. The
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ API provides an implementation of such an algorithm.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Initialization</title>
+
+ <para>Each machine should have a non-empty ID in normal operation. The ID of each
+ machine should be unique. To achieve those objectives,
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> can be initialized in a few different ways.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>For normal operating system installations, where a custom image is created for a
+ specific machine, <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> should be populated during
+ installation.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machine-id-setup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ may be used by installer tools to initialize the machine ID at install time, but
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> may also be written using any other means.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>For operating system images which are created once and used on multiple
+ machines, for example for containers or in the cloud,
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> should be an empty file in the generic file
+ system image. An ID will be generated during boot and saved to this file if
+ possible. Having an empty file in place is useful because it allows a temporary file
+ to be bind-mounted over the real file, in case the image is used read-only.</para>
+
+ <para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ may be used to initialize <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> on mounted (but not
+ booted) system images.</para>
+
+ <para>When a machine is booted with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ the ID of the machine will be established. If <varname>systemd.machine_id=</varname>
+ or <option>--machine-id=</option> options (see first section) are specified, this
+ value will be used. Otherwise, the value in <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> will
+ be used. If this file is empty or missing, <filename>systemd</filename> will attempt
+ to use the D-Bus machine ID from <filename>/var/lib/dbus/machine-id</filename>, the
+ value of the kernel command line option <varname>container_uuid</varname>, the KVM DMI
+ <filename>product_uuid</filename> (on KVM systems), and finally a randomly generated
+ UUID.</para>
+
+ <para>After the machine ID is established,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ will attempt to save it to <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>. If this fails, it
+ will attempt to bind-mount a temporary file over <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>.
+ It is an error if the file system is read-only and does not contain a (possibly empty)
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> file.</para>
+
+ <para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machine-id-commit.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ will attempt to write the machine ID to the file system if
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> or <filename>/etc</filename> are read-only during
+ early boot but become writable later on.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Relation to OSF UUIDs</title>
+
+ <para>Note that the machine ID historically is not an OSF UUID as
+ defined by <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122">RFC
+ 4122</ulink>, nor a Microsoft GUID; however, starting with systemd
+ v30, newly generated machine IDs do qualify as v4 UUIDs.</para>
+
+ <para>In order to maintain compatibility with existing
+ installations, an application requiring a UUID should decode the
+ machine ID, and then apply the following operations to turn it
+ into a valid OSF v4 UUID. With <literal>id</literal> being an
+ unsigned character array:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>/* Set UUID version to 4 --- truly random generation */
+id[6] = (id[6] &amp; 0x0F) | 0x40;
+/* Set the UUID variant to DCE */
+id[8] = (id[8] &amp; 0x3F) | 0x80;</programlisting>
+
+ <para>(This code is inspired by
+ <literal>generate_random_uuid()</literal> of
+ <filename>drivers/char/random.c</filename> from the Linux kernel
+ sources.)</para>
+
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>History</title>
+
+ <para>The simple configuration file format of
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> originates in the
+ <filename>/var/lib/dbus/machine-id</filename> file introduced by
+ D-Bus. In fact, this latter file might be a symlink to
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>.</para>

+
+ <para>The basic file format of <filename>machine-info</filename>
+ is a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible
+ variable assignments. It is possible to source the configuration
+ from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no
+ shell features are supported, allowing applications to read the
+ file without implementing a shell compatible execution
+ engine.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>/etc/machine-info</filename> contains metadata
+ about the machine that is set by the user or administrator.</para>
+
+ <para>Depending on the operating system other configuration files
+ might be checked for machine information as well, however only as
+ fallback.</para>
+
+ <para>You may use

+ following a conservative subset of DNS and UNIX/Linux
+ semantics. Specifically, they must consist of one or more
+ non-empty label strings, separated by dots. No leading or trailing
+ dots are allowed. No sequences of multiple dots are allowed. The
+ label strings may only consist of alphanumeric characters as well
+ as the dash and underscore. The maximum length of a machine name
+ is 64 characters.</para>
+
+ <para>A special machine with the name <literal>.host</literal>

+ operations or inspecting the host system as well. Note that
+ <command>machinectl list</command> will not show this special
+ machine unless the <option>--all</option> switch is specified.</para>
+
+ <para>Requirements on image names are less strict, however, they must be
+ valid UTF-8, must be suitable as file names (hence not be the
+ single or double dot, and not include a slash), and may not
+ contain control characters. Since many operations search for an
+ image by the name of a requested machine, it is recommended to name
+ images in the same strict fashion as machines.</para>
+
+ <para>A special image with the name <literal>.host</literal>

+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>The local, configured hostname is resolved to
+ all locally configured IP addresses ordered by their scope, or
+ — if none are configured — the IPv4 address 127.0.0.2 (which
+ is on the local loopback) and the IPv6 address ::1 (which is the
+ local host).</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The hostnames <literal>localhost</literal> and
+ <literal>localhost.localdomain</literal> (as well as any hostname
+ ending in <literal>.localhost</literal> or <literal>.localhost.localdomain</literal>)
+ are resolved to the IP addresses 127.0.0.1 and ::1.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The hostname <literal>_gateway</literal> is
+ resolved to all current default routing gateway addresses,
+ ordered by their metric. This assigns a stable hostname to the
+ current gateway, useful for referencing it independently of the
+ current network configuration state.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>Various software relies on an always-resolvable local
+ hostname. When using dynamic hostnames, this is traditionally
+ achieved by patching <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> at the same
+ time as changing the hostname. This is problematic since it
+ requires a writable <filename>/etc</filename> file system and is
+ fragile because the file might be edited by the administrator at
+ the same time. With <command>nss-myhostname</command> enabled,
+ changing <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> is unnecessary, and on
+ many systems, the file becomes entirely optional.</para>
+
+ <para>To activate the NSS modules, add <literal>myhostname</literal> to the line starting with
+ <literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to place <literal>myhostname</literal> last in the <filename>nsswitch.conf</filename>'

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>The <filename>/etc/os-release</filename> and
+ <filename>/usr/lib/os-release</filename> files contain operating
+ system identification data.</para>
+
+ <para>The basic file format of <filename>os-release</filename> is
+ a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible
+ variable assignments. It is possible to source the configuration
+ from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments, no
+ shell features are supported (this means variable expansion is
+ explicitly not supported), allowing applications to read the file
+ without implementing a shell compatible execution engine. Variable
+ assignment values must be enclosed in double or single quotes if
+ they include spaces, semicolons or other special characters
+ outside of A–Z, a–z, 0–9. Shell special characters ("$", quotes,
+ backslash, backtick) must be escaped with backslashes, following
+ shell style. All strings should be in UTF-8 format, and
+ non-printable characters should not be used. It is not supported
+ to concatenate multiple individually quoted strings. Lines
+ beginning with "#" shall be ignored as comments. Blank lines are
+ permitted and ignored.</para>
+
+ <para>The file <filename>/etc/os-release</filename> takes
+ precedence over <filename>/usr/lib/os-release</filename>.
+ Applications should check for the former, and exclusively use its
+ data if it exists, and only fall back to
+ <filename>/usr/lib/os-release</filename> if it is missing.
+ Applications should not read data from both files at the same
+ time. <filename>/usr/lib/os-release</filename> is the recommended
+ place to store OS release information as part of vendor trees.
+ <filename>/etc/os-release</filename> should be a relative symlink
+ to <filename>/usr/lib/os-release</filename>, to provide
+ compatibility with applications only looking at
+ <filename>/etc</filename>. A relative symlink instead of an
+ absolute symlink is necessary to avoid breaking the link in a
+ chroot or initrd environment such as dracut.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>os-release</filename> contains data that is
+ defined by the operating system vendor and should generally not be
+ changed by the administrator.</para>
+
+ <para>As this file only encodes names and identifiers it should
+ not be localized.</para>
+
+ <para>The <filename>/etc/os-release</filename> and
+ <filename>/usr/lib/os-release</filename> files might be symlinks
+ to other files, but it is important that the file is available
+ from earliest boot on, and hence must be located on the root file
+ system.</para>
+
+ <para>For a longer rationale for <filename>os-release</filename>
+ please refer to the <ulink
+ url="http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/os-release">Announcement of <filename>/etc/os-release</filename></ulink>.</para>

+ <para>PAM modules earlier in the stack, that is those that come before <command>pam_systemd.so</command>,

+
+ <para><command>portablectl</command> may be used to attach, detach or inspect portable service images. It's

+
+ <para>Portable service images contain an OS file system tree along with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> unit file
+ information. A service image may be "attached" to the local system. If attached, a set of unit files are copied
+ from the image to the host, and extended with <varname>RootDirectory=</varname> or <varname>RootImage=</varname>
+ assignments (in case of service units) pointing to the image file or directory, ensuring the services will run
+ within the file system context of the image.</para>
+
+ <para>Portable service images are an efficient way to bundle multiple related services and other units together,
+ and transfer them as a whole between systems. When these images are attached the local system the contained units
+ may run in most ways like regular system-provided units, either with full privileges or inside strict sandboxing,
+ depending on the selected configuration.</para>
+
+ <para>Specifically portable service images may be of the following kind:</para>

+ of the commands below may both operate on images inside and outside of the search paths. This command is hence

+ shows.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><command>attach</command> <replaceable>IMAGE</replaceable> [<replaceable>PREFIX…</replaceable>]</term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Attach a portable service image to the host system. Expects a file system path to a portable
+ service image file or directory as first argument. If the specified path contains no slash character
+ (<literal>/</literal>) it is understood as image filename that is searched for in the portable service image
+ search paths (see below). To reference a file in the current working directory prefix the filename with
+ <literal>./</literal> to avoid this search path logic.</para>
+
+ <para>When a portable service is attached four operations are executed:</para>
+
+ <orderedlist>
+
+ <listitem><para>All unit files of types <filename>.service</filename>, <filename>.socket</filename>,
+ <filename>.target</filename>, <filename>.timer</filename> and <filename>.path</filename> which match the
+ indicated unit file name prefix are copied from the image to the host's
+ <filename>/etc/systemd/system.attached/</filename> directory (or
+ <filename>/run/systemd/system.attached/</filename> — depending whether <option>--runtime</option> is
+ specified, see above), which is included in the built-in unit search path of the system service
+ manager.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>For unit files of type <filename>.service</filename> a drop-in is added to these copies that
+ adds <varname>RootDirectory=</varname> or <varname>RootImage=</varname> settings (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ details), that ensures these services are run within the file system of the originating portable service
+ image.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>A second drop-in is created: the "profile" drop-in, that may contain additional security
+ settings (and other settings). A number of profiles are available by default but administrators may define
+ their own ones. See below.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>If the portable service image file is not already in the search path (see below), a symbolic
+ link to it is created in <filename>/etc/portables/</filename> or
+ <filename>/run/portables/</filename>, to make sure it is included in it.</para></listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>By default all unit files whose names start with a prefix generated from the image's file name are copied
+ out. Specifically, the prefix is determined from the image file name with any suffix such as
+ <filename>.raw</filename> removed, truncated at the first occurrence of and underscore character
+ (<literal>_</literal>), if there is one. The underscore logic is supposed to be used to versioning so that the
+ an image file <filename>foobar_47.11.raw</filename> will result in a unit file matching prefix of
+ <filename>foobar</filename>. This prefix is then compared with all unit files names contained in the image in
+ the usual directories, but only unit file names where the prefix is followed by <literal>-</literal>,
+ <literal>.</literal> or <literal>@</literal> are considered. Example: if a portable service image file is named
+ <filename>foobar_47.11.raw</filename> then by default all its unit files with names such as
+ <filename>foobar-quux-waldi.service</filename>, <filename>foobar.service</filename> or
+ <filename>foobar@.service</filename> will be considered. It's possible to override the matching prefix: all
+ strings listed on the command line after the image file name are considered prefixes, overriding the implicit
+ logic where the prefix is derived from the image file name.</para>
+
+ <para>By default, after the unit files are attached the service manager's configuration is reloaded, except
+ when <option>--no-reload</option> is specified (see above). This ensures that the new units made available to
+ the service manager are seen by it.</para>

+ again. This command expects an image name or path as parameter. Note that if a path is specified only the last
+ component of it (i.e. the file or directory name itself, not the path to it) is used for finding matching unit
+ files. This is a convencience feature to allow all arguments passed as <command>attach</command> also to

+ metadata in combination with a list of matching unit files is shown (that is the unit files
+ <command>attach</command> would install to the host system). If combined with <option>--cat</option> (see
+ above), the <filename>os-release</filename> data and the units files' contents is displayed unprocessed. This
+ command is useful to determine whether an image qualifies as portable service image, and which unit files are

+ trigger a downgrade to non-DNSSEC mode by synthesizing a DNS
+ response that suggests DNSSEC was not supported. If set to
+ false, DNS lookups are not DNSSEC validated.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that DNSSEC validation requires retrieval of
+ additional DNS data, and thus results in a small DNS look-up
+ time penalty.</para>
+
+ <para>DNSSEC requires knowledge of "trust anchors" to prove
+ data integrity. The trust anchor for the Internet root domain
+ is built into the resolver, additional trust anchors may be
+ defined with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dnssec-trust-anchors.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ Trust anchors may change at regular intervals, and old trust
+ anchors may be revoked. In such a case DNSSEC validation is
+ not possible until new trust anchors are configured locally or
+ the resolver software package is updated with the new root
+ trust anchor. In effect, when the built-in trust anchor is
+ revoked and <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> is true, all further
+ lookups will fail, as it cannot be proved anymore whether
+ lookups are correctly signed, or validly unsigned. If
+ <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> is set to
+ <literal>allow-downgrade</literal> the resolver will
+ automatically turn off DNSSEC validation in such a case.</para>
+
+ <para>Client programs looking up DNS data will be informed
+ whether lookups could be verified using DNSSEC, or whether the
+ returned data could not be verified (either because the data
+ was found unsigned in the DNS, or the DNS server did not
+ support DNSSEC or no appropriate trust anchors were known). In
+ the latter case it is assumed that client programs employ a
+ secondary scheme to validate the returned DNS data, should
+ this be required.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to set <varname>DNSSEC=</varname> to
+ true on systems where it is known that the DNS server supports
+ DNSSEC correctly, and where software or trust anchor updates

+
+ <para>Site-private DNS zones generally conflict with DNSSEC
+ operation, unless a negative (if the private zone is not

+ <title>Overview</title>
+
+ <para>"Runlevels" are an obsolete way to start and stop groups of
+ services used in SysV init. systemd provides a compatibility layer
+ that maps runlevels to targets, and associated binaries like
+ <command>runlevel</command>. Nevertheless, only one runlevel can
+ be "active" at a given time, while systemd can activate multiple
+ targets concurrently, so the mapping to runlevels is confusing
+ and only approximate. Runlevels should not be used in new code,
+ and are mostly useful as a shorthand way to refer the matching
+ systemd targets in kernel boot parameters.</para>

+ macros:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>#define SD_EMERG "&lt;0&gt;" /* system is unusable */
+#define SD_ALERT "&lt;1&gt;" /* action must be taken immediately */
+#define SD_CRIT "&lt;2&gt;" /* critical conditions */

+#define SD_NOTICE "&lt;5&gt;" /* normal but significant condition */
+#define SD_INFO "&lt;6&gt;" /* informational */
+#define SD_DEBUG "&lt;7&gt;" /* debug-level messages */</programlisting>
+
+ <para>These prefixes are intended to be used in conjunction with
+ stderr-based logging as implemented by systemd. If a systemd
+ service definition file is configured with
+ <varname>StandardError=journal</varname>,
+ <varname>StandardError=syslog</varname> or
+ <varname>StandardError=kmsg</varname>, these prefixes can be used
+ to encode a log level in lines printed. This is similar to the

+ for more information.</para>
+
+ <para>The log levels are identical to
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
+ log level system. To use these prefixes simply prefix every line
+ with one of these strings. A line that is not prefixed will be
+ logged at the default log level SD_INFO.</para>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Hello World</title>
+
+ <para>A daemon may log with the log level NOTICE by issuing this
+ call:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>fprintf(stderr, SD_NOTICE "Hello World!\n");</programlisting>

+ <para>The event loop design is targeted on running a separate
+ instance of the event loop in each thread; it has no concept of
+ distributing events from a single event loop instance onto
+ multiple worker threads. Dispatching events is strictly ordered
+ and subject to configurable priorities. In each event loop
+ iteration a single event source is dispatched. Each time an event
+ source is dispatched the kernel is polled for new events, before
+ the next event source is dispatched. The event loop is designed to
+ honor priorities and provide fairness within each priority. It is
+ not designed to provide optimal throughput, as this contradicts
+ these goals due the limitations of the underlying <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>

+
+ <para>A 128-bit ID is implemented as the following
+ union type:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>typedef union sd_id128 {
+ uint8_t bytes[16];
+ uint64_t qwords[2];
+} sd_id128_t;</programlisting>
+
+ <para>This union type allows accessing the 128-bit ID as 16
+ separate bytes or two 64-bit words. It is generally safer to
+ access the ID components by their 8-bit array to avoid endianness
+ issues. This union is intended to be passed call-by-value (as
+ opposed to call-by-reference) and may be directly manipulated by
+ clients.</para>
+
+ <para>A couple of macros are defined to denote and decode 128-bit
+ IDs:</para>
+
+ <para><function>SD_ID128_MAKE()</function> may be used to denote a
+ constant 128-bit ID in source code. A commonly used idiom is to
+ assign a name to a 128-bit ID using this macro:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>#define SD_MESSAGE_COREDUMP SD_ID128_MAKE(fc,2e,22,bc,6e,e6,47,b6,b9,07,29,ab,34,a2,50,b1)</programlisting>
+
+ <para><function>SD_ID128_NULL</function> may be used to refer to the 128bit ID consisting of only NUL
+ bytes.</para>
+
+ <para><function>SD_ID128_MAKE_STR()</function> is similar to <function>SD_ID128_MAKE()</function>, but creates a
+ <type>const char*</type> expression that can be conveniently used in message formats and such:</para>

+ <programlisting>#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

+
+ <para><filename>sd-login.h</filename> provides APIs to introspect
+ and monitor seat, login session and user status information on the
+ local system. </para>
+
+ <para>Note that these APIs only allow purely passive access and
+ monitoring of seats, sessions and users. To actively make changes
+ to the seat configuration, terminate login sessions, or switch
+ session on a seat you need to utilize the D-Bus API of
+ systemd-logind, instead.</para>
+
+ <para>These functions synchronously access data in
+ <filename>/proc</filename>, <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup</filename>
+ and <filename>/run</filename>. All of these are virtual file
+ systems, hence the runtime cost of the accesses is relatively
+ cheap.</para>
+
+ <para>It is possible (and often a very good choice) to mix calls
+ to the synchronous interface of <filename>sd-login.h</filename>
+ with the asynchronous D-Bus interface of systemd-logind. However,
+ if this is done you need to think a bit about possible races since
+ the stream of events from D-Bus and from
+ <filename>sd-login.h</filename> interfaces such as the login
+ monitor are asynchronous and not ordered against each
+ other.</para>
+
+ <para>If the functions return string arrays, these are generally
+ <constant>NULL</constant> terminated and need to be freed by the
+ caller with the libc
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use, including the strings referenced therein.
+ Similarly, individual strings returned need to be freed, as
+ well.</para>
+
+ <para>As a special exception, instead of an empty string array
+ <constant>NULL</constant> may be returned, which should be treated
+ equivalent to an empty string array.</para>

+
+ <listitem><para>A seat consists of all hardware devices assigned to a specific
+ workplace. It consists of at least one graphics device, and usually also includes
+ keyboard, mouse. It can also include video cameras, sound cards and more. Seats
+ are identified by seat names, which are strings (&lt;= 255 characters), that start
+ with the four characters <literal>seat</literal> followed by at least one
+ character from the range [a-zA-Z0-9], <literal>_</literal> and
+ <literal>-</literal>. They are suitable for use as file names. Seat names may or
+ may not be stable and may be reused if a seat becomes available again.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>session</term>
+
+ <listitem><para>A session is defined by the time a user is logged in until they
+ log out. A session is bound to one or no seats (the latter for 'virtual' ssh
+ logins). Multiple sessions can be attached to the same seat, but only one of them
+ can be active, the others are in the background. A session is identified by a
+ short string.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ ensures that audit sessions are identical to systemd sessions, and uses the audit
+ session ID as session ID in systemd (if auditing is enabled). In general the
+ session identifier is a short string consisting only of [a-zA-Z0-9],
+ <literal>_</literal> and <literal>-</literal>, suitable for use as a file name.
+ Session IDs are unique on the local machine and are
+ never reused as long as the machine is online. A user (the way we know it on UNIX)
+ corresponds to the person using a computer. A single user can have multiple
+ sessions open at the same time. A user is identified by a numeric user id (UID) or
+ a user name (a string). A multi-session system allows multiple user sessions on
+ the same seat at the same time. A multi-seat system allows multiple independent
+ seats that can be individually and simultaneously used by different users.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ </variablelist>
+
+ <para>All hardware devices that are eligible to being assigned to a seat, are assigned
+ to one. A device can be assigned to only one seat at a time. If a device is not
+ assigned to any particular other seat it is implicitly assigned to the special default
+ seat called <literal>seat0</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that hardware like printers, hard disks or network cards is generally not
+ assigned to a specific seat. They are available to all seats equally. (Well, with one
+ exception: USB sticks can be assigned to a seat.)</para>

+
+ <listitem><para>When set, a device is eligible to be assigned to a seat. This tag
+ is set for graphics devices, mice, keyboards, video cards, sound cards and
+ more. Note that some devices like sound cards consist of multiple subdevices
+ (i.e. a PCM for input and another one for output). This tag will be set only for
+ the originating device, not for the individual subdevices. A UI for configuring
+ assignment of devices to seats should enumerate and subscribe to all devices with
+ this tag set and show them in the UI. Note that USB hubs can be assigned to a seat
+ as well, in which case all (current and future) devices plugged into it will also
+ be assigned to the same seat (unless they are explicitly assigned to another
+ seat).

+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Tag <literal>master-of-seat</literal></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>When set, this device is enough for a seat to be considered
+ existent. This tag is usually set for the framebuffer device of graphics cards. A
+ seat hence consists of an arbitrary number of devices marked with the
+ <literal>seat</literal> tag, but (at least) one of these devices needs to be
+ tagged with <literal>master-of-seat</literal> before the seat is actually
+ considered to be around.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Property <varname>ID_SEAT</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>This property specifies the name of the seat a specific device is
+ assigned to. If not set the device is assigned to <literal>seat0</literal>. Also,
+ to speed up enumeration of hardware belonging to a specific seat, the seat is also
+ set as tag on the device. I.e. if the property
+ <varname>ID_SEAT=seat-waldo</varname> is set for a device, the tag
+ <literal>seat-waldo</literal> will be set as well. Note that if a device is
+ assigned to <literal>seat0</literal>, it will usually not carry such a tag and you
+ need to enumerate all devices and check the <varname>ID_SEAT</varname> property
+ manually. Again, if a device is assigned to seat0 this is visible on the device in
+ two ways: with a property <varname>ID_SEAT=seat0</varname> and with no property

+
+ <listitem><para>When set to <literal>1</literal>, this device automatically

+ <term>Property <varname>ID_FOR_SEAT</varname></term>
+

+
+ <para>Note that

+ manages ACLs on a number of device classes, to allow user code to access the device

+ mostly transparent to applications. As mentioned above, for certain user software it
+ might be a good idea to watch whether they can access device nodes instead of thinking

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_add_match()</function> installs a match rule for messages received on the specified bus
+ connection object <parameter>bus</parameter>. The syntax of the match rule expression passed in
+ <parameter>match</parameter> is described in the <ulink
+ url="https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html">D-Bus Specification</ulink>. The specified handler
+ function <parameter>callback</parameter> is called for eaching incoming message matching the specified expression,
+ the <parameter>userdata</parameter> parameter is passed as-is to the callback function. The match is installed
+ synchronously when connected to a bus broker, i.e. the call sends a control message requested the match to be added
+ to the broker and waits until the broker confirms the match has been installed successfully.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_add_match_async()</function> operates very similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_match_signal()</function>, however it installs the match asynchronously, in a non-blocking
+ fashion: a request is sent to the broker, but the call does not wait for a response. The
+ <parameter>install_callback</parameter> function is called when the response is later received, with the response
+ message from the broker as parameter. If this function is specified as <constant>NULL</constant> a default
+ implementation is used that terminates the bus connection should installing the match fail.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_match_signal()</function> is very similar to <function>sd_bus_add_match()</function>, but
+ only matches signals, and instead of a match expression accepts four parameters: <parameter>sender</parameter> (the
+ service name of the sender), <parameter>path</parameter> (the object path of the emitting object),
+ <parameter>interface</parameter> (the interface the signal belongs to), <parameter>member</parameter> (the signal
+ name), from which the match string is internally generated. Optionally, these parameters may be specified as
+ <constant>NULL</constant> in which case the relevant field of incoming signals is not tested.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_match_signal_async()</function> combines the signal matching logic of
+ <function>sd_bus_match_signal()</function> with the asynchronous behaviour of
+ <function>sd_bus_add_match_async()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para>On success, and if non-<constant>NULL</constant>, the <parameter>slot</parameter> return parameter will be
+ set to a slot object that may be used as a reference to the installed match, and may be utilized to remove it again
+ at a later time with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If specified
+ as <constant>NULL</constant> the lifetime of the match is bound to the lifetime of the bus object itself, and the
+ match is generally not removed independently. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_set_floating</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ details.</para>
+
+ <para>The message <parameter>m</parameter> passed to the callback is only borrowed, that is, the callback should
+ not call <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ on it. If the callback wants to hold on to the message beyond the lifetime of the callback, it needs to call
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_ref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to create a
+ new reference.</para>
+
+ <para>If an error occurs during the callback invocation, the callback should return a negative error number
+ (optionally, a more precise error may be returned in <parameter>ret_error</parameter>, as well). If it wants other
+ callbacks that match the same rule to be called, it should return 0. Otherwise it should return a positive integer.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>If the <parameter>bus</parameter> refers to a direct connection (i.e. not a bus connection, as set with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_bus_client</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>) the
+ match is only installed on the client side, and the synchronous and asynchronous functions operate the same.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>
+ On success, <function>sd_bus_add_match()</function> and the other calls return 0 or a positive integer. On
+ failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.

+ <parameter>sd_bus_creds</parameter> object. Credential objects may
+ be created with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_new_from_pid</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ in which case they describe the credentials of the process
+ identified by the specified PID, with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_name_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ in which case they describe the credentials of a bus peer
+ identified by the specified bus name, with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_owner_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ in which case they describe the credentials of the creator of a
+ bus, or with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_creds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ in which case they describe the credentials of the sender of the
+ message.</para>
+
+ <para>Not all credential fields are part of every
+ <literal>sd_bus_creds</literal> object. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_creds_get_mask</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ to determine the mask of fields available.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_pid()</function> will retrieve

+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_exe()</function> will retrieve
+ the path to the program executable (as stored in the
+ <filename>/proc/<replaceable>pid</replaceable>/exe</filename>
+ link, but with the <literal> (deleted)</literal> suffix removed). Note

+ -ENXIO is returned.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_cmdline()</function> will
+ retrieve an array of command line arguments (as stored in
+ <filename>/proc/<replaceable>pid</replaceable>/cmdline</filename>). Note

+ the systemd unit name (in the system instance of systemd) that the
+ process is a part of. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. For

+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_user_unit()</function> will
+ retrieve the systemd unit name (in the user instance of systemd)
+ that the process is a part of. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. For

+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_slice()</function> will retrieve

+ <function>sd_bus_creds_get_user_slice()</function> retrieves the
+ systemd slice of the process, in the user instance of systemd.
+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_session()</function> will
+ retrieve the identifier of the login session that the process is
+ a part of. Please note the login session may be limited to a stub
+ process or two. User processes may instead be started from their
+ systemd user manager, e.g. GUI applications started using DBus
+ activation, as well as service processes which are shared between
+ multiple logins of the same user. For processes that are not part
+ of a session, returns -ENXIO.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_owner_uid()</function> will
+ retrieve the numeric UID (user identifier) of the user who owns
+ the user unit or login session that the process is a part of. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ For processes that are not part of a user unit or session, returns
+ -ENXIO.
+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_has_effective_cap()</function> will check whether the capability specified by
+ <parameter>capability</parameter> was set in the effective capabilities mask. A positive return value means that it
+ was set, zero means that it was not set, and a negative return value indicates an error. See <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>capabilities</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> and the
+ <varname>AmbientCapabilities=</varname> and <varname>CapabilityBoundingSet=</varname> settings in

+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_audit_login_uid()</function> will
+ retrieve the audit user login identifier (the identifier of the
+ user who is "responsible" for the session). Returns -ENXIO for
+ processes that are not part of an audit session.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_tty()</function> will retrieve
+ the controlling TTY, without the prefixing "/dev/". Returns -ENXIO
+ for processes that have no controlling TTY.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_creds_get_unique_name()</function> will
+ retrieve the D-Bus unique name. See <ulink

+
+ <para>Similar to <function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function>, the

+ returns a bitmask of field constants. The mask indicates which

+ for the fields that could not be determined atomically at message

+ <function>sd_bus_creds_get_mask()</function> for the same
+ object. The latter call hence returns all credential fields
+ available in the credential object, the former then marks the
+ subset of those that have been augmented. Note that augmented

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_default()</function> acquires a bus
+ connection object to the user bus when invoked in user context, or
+ to the system bus otherwise. The connection object is associated
+ with the calling thread. Each time the function is invoked from
+ the same thread, the same object is returned, but its reference
+ count is increased by one, as long as at least one reference is
+ kept. When the last reference to the connection is dropped (using
+ the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call), the connection is terminated. Note that the connection is
+ not automatically terminated when the associated thread ends. It
+ is important to drop the last reference to the bus connection
+ explicitly before the thread ends, as otherwise, the connection will
+ leak. Also, queued but unread or unwritten messages keep the
+ bus referenced, see below.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> returns a user
+ bus connection object associated with the calling thread.
+ <function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> is similar, but
+ connects to the system bus. Note that
+ <function>sd_bus_default()</function> is identical to these two
+ calls, depending on the execution context.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_open()</function> creates a new,
+ independent bus connection to the user bus when invoked in user
+ context, or the system bus
+ otherwise. <function>sd_bus_open_user()</function> is similar, but
+ connects only to the user bus.
+ <function>sd_bus_open_system()</function> does the same, but
+ connects to the system bus. In contrast to
+ <function>sd_bus_default()</function>,
+ <function>sd_bus_default_user()</function>, and
+ <function>sd_bus_default_system()</function>, these calls return
+ new, independent connection objects that are not associated with
+ the invoking thread and are not shared between multiple
+ invocations. It is recommended to share connections per thread to
+ efficiently make use the available resources. Thus, it is
+ recommended to use <function>sd_bus_default()</function>,
+ <function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> to connect to the
+ user or system buses.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_open_with_description()</function>,
+ <function>sd_bus_open_user_with_description()</function>, and
+ <function>sd_bus_open_system_with_description()</function> are similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_open()</function>, <function>sd_bus_open_user()</function>, and
+ <function>sd_bus_open_system()</function>, but allow a description string to be set, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_description</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ <parameter>description</parameter> may be <constant>NULL</constant>, in which case this function
+ is equivalent to <function>sd_bus_open()</function>. This description string is used in log
+ messages about the bus object, and including a "name" for the bus makes them easier to
+ understand. Some messages are emitted during bus initialization, hence using this function is
+ prefereable to setting the description later with
+ <function>sd_bus_open_with_description()</function>. The argument is copied internally and will
+ not be referenced after the function returns.</para>
+
+ <para>If the <varname>$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS</varname> environment
+ variable is set
+ (cf. <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>environ</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
+ it will be used as the address of the user bus. This variable can
+ contain multiple addresses separated by <literal>;</literal>. If
+ this variable is not set, a suitable default for the default user
+ D-Bus instance will be used.</para>
+
+ <para>If the <varname>$DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS</varname>
+ environment variable is set, it will be used as the address of the
+ system bus. This variable uses the same syntax as
+ <varname>$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS</varname>. If this variable is
+ not set, a suitable default for the default system D-Bus instance
+ will be used.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_open_system_remote()</function> connects to the system bus on
+ the specified host using
+ <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>ssh</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ <parameter>host</parameter> consists of an optional user name followed by the
+ <literal>@</literal> symbol, and the hostname, optionally followed by a
+ <literal>:</literal> and a port, optionally followed by a
+ <literal>/</literal> and a machine name. If the machine name is given, a connection
+ is created to the system bus in the specified container on the remote machine, and
+ otherwise a connection to the system bus on the specified host is created.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that entering a container is a privileged operation, and will likely only
+ work for the root user on the remote machine.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_open_system_machine()</function> connects
+ to the system bus in the specified <parameter>machine</parameter>,
+ where <parameter>machine</parameter> is the name of a local
+ container. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information about the "machine" concept. Note that
+ connections into local containers are only available to privileged
+ processes at this time.</para>
+
+ <para>These calls allocate a bus connection object and initiate
+ the connection to a well-known bus of some form. An alternative to
+ using these high-level calls is to create an unconnected bus
+ object with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and to connect it with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

+ <title>Reference ownership</title>
+ <para>The functions <function>sd_bus_open()</function>,
+ <function>sd_bus_open_user()</function>,
+ <function>sd_bus_open_system()</function>,
+ <function>sd_bus_open_system_remote()</function>, and
+ <function>sd_bus_open_system_machine()</function> return a new
+ connection object and the caller owns the sole reference. When not
+ needed anymore, this reference should be destroyed with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The functions <function>sd_bus_default()</function>,
+ <function>sd_bus_default_user()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> do not necessarily
+ create a new object, but increase the connection reference of an
+ existing connection object by one. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ to drop the reference.</para>
+
+ <para>Queued but unwritten/unread messages keep a reference to their bus connection object. For this reason, even
+ if an application dropped all references to a bus connection, it might not get destroyed right away. Until all
+ incoming queued messages are read, and until all outgoing unwritten messages are written, the bus object will stay
+ alive. <function>sd_bus_flush()</function> may be used to write all outgoing queued messages so they drop their
+ references. To flush the unread incoming messages, use <function>sd_bus_close()</function>, which will also close
+ the bus connection. When using the default bus logic, it is a good idea to first invoke
+ <function>sd_bus_flush()</function> followed by <function>sd_bus_close()</function> when a thread or process
+ terminates, and thus its bus connection object should be freed.</para>
+
+ <para>Normally, slot objects (as created by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_match</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> and similar
+ calls) keep a reference to their bus connection object, too. Thus, as long as a bus slot object remains referenced
+ its bus object will remain allocated too. Optionally, bus slot objects may be placed in "floating" mode. When in
+ floating mode the life cycle of the bus slot object is bound to the bus object, i.e. when the bus object is freed
+ the bus slot object is automatically unreferenced too. The floating state of a slot object may be controlled
+ explicitly with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_set_floating</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ though usually floating bus slot objects are created by passing <constant>NULL</constant> as the
+ <parameter>slot</parameter> parameter of <function>sd_bus_add_match()</function> and related calls, thus indicating
+ that the caller is not directly interested in referencing and managing the bus slot object.</para>
+
+ <para>The life cycle of the default bus connection should be the
+ responsibility of the code that creates/owns the thread the
+ default bus connection object is associated with. Library code
+ should neither call <function>sd_bus_flush()</function> nor
+ <function>sd_bus_close()</function> on default bus objects unless
+ it does so in its own private, self-allocated thread. Library code
+ should not use the default bus object in other threads unless it
+ is clear that the program using it will life cycle the bus
+ connection object and flush and close it before exiting from the
+ thread. In libraries where it is not clear that the calling
+ program will life cycle the bus connection object, it is hence
+ recommended to use <function>sd_bus_open_system()</function>
+ instead of <function>sd_bus_default_system()</function> and
+ related calls.</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>The <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure carries
+ information about a D-Bus error condition. The functions described
+ below may be used to set and query fields in this structure. The
+ <structfield>name</structfield> field contains a short identifier
+ of an error. It should follow the rules for error names described
+ in the D-Bus specification, subsection <ulink
+ url="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-protocol-names">Valid
+ Names</ulink>. A number of common, standardized error names are
+ described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-bus-errors</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ but additional domain-specific errors may be defined by
+ applications. The <structfield>message</structfield> field usually
+ contains a human-readable string describing the details, but might
+ be NULL. An unset <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure
+ should have both fields initialized to NULL. Set an error
+ structure to <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NULL</constant> in order to
+ reset both fields to NULL. When no longer necessary, resources
+ held by the <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> structure should
+ be destroyed with <function>sd_bus_error_free()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_set()</function> sets an error
+ structure to the specified name and message strings. The strings
+ will be copied into internal, newly allocated memory. It is
+ essential to free the error structure again when it is not
+ required anymore (see above). The function will return an
+ <varname>errno</varname>-like negative value (see <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
+ determined from the specified error name. Various well-known
+ D-Bus errors are converted to well-known <varname>errno</varname>
+ counterparts, and the other ones to <constant>-EIO</constant>. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-bus-errors</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for a list of well-known error names. Additional error mappings
+ may be defined with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_error_add_map</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If
+ <parameter>e</parameter> is NULL, no error structure is initialized,
+ but the error is still converted into an
+ <varname>errno</varname>-style error. If
+ <parameter>name</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, it is
+ assumed that no error occurred, and 0 is returned. This means that
+ this function may be conveniently used in a
+ <function>return</function> statement. If
+ <parameter>message</parameter> is NULL, no message is set. This
+ call can fail if no memory may be allocated for the name and
+ message strings, in which case an
+ <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NO_MEMORY</constant> error might be set
+ instead and -ENOMEM be returned. Do not use this call on error
+ structures that are already initialized. If you intend to reuse an
+ error structure, free the old data stored in it with
+ <function>sd_bus_error_free()</function> first.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_setf()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_error_set()</function>, but takes a <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ format string and corresponding arguments to generate the
+ <structfield>message</structfield> field.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_set_const()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_error_set()</function>, but the string parameters
+ are not copied internally, and must hence remain constant and
+ valid for the lifetime of <parameter>e</parameter>. Use this call
+ to avoid memory allocations when setting error structures. Since
+ this call does not allocate memory, it will not fail with an
+ out-of-memory condition as
+ <function>sd_bus_error_set()</function> can, as described
+ above. Alternatively, the
+ <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_MAKE_CONST()</constant> macro may be used
+ to generate a literal, constant bus error structure
+ on-the-fly.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_set_errno()</function> will set
+ <structfield>name</structfield> from an
+ <varname>errno</varname>-like value that is converted to a D-Bus
+ error. <citerefentry
+ project='die-net'><refentrytitle>strerror_r</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ will be used to set <structfield>message</structfield>. Well-known
+ D-Bus error names will be used for <structfield>name</structfield>
+ if applicable, otherwise a name in the
+ <literal>System.Error.</literal> namespace will be generated. The
+ sign of the specified error number is ignored. The absolute value
+ is used implicitly. The call always returns a negative value, for
+ convenient usage in <function>return</function> statements. This
+ call might fail due to lack of memory, in which case an
+ <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NO_MEMORY</constant> error is set instead,
+ and -ENOMEM is returned.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_set_errnof()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_error_set_errno()</function>, but in addition to
+ <parameter>error</parameter>, takes a <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ format string and corresponding arguments. The
+ <structfield>message</structfield> field will be generated from

+ parameter list.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_get_errno()</function> converts the
+ <structfield>name</structfield> field of an error structure to an
+ <varname>errno</varname>-like (positive) value using the same
+ rules as <function>sd_bus_error_set()</function>. If

+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_copy()</function> will initialize

+ <function>sd_bus_error_set_const()</function>, they will be shared.
+ Otherwise, they will be copied. Returns a converted
+ <varname>errno</varname>-like, negative error code.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_move()</function> is similar to <function>sd_bus_error_copy()</function>, but will
+ move any error information from <parameter>e</parameter> into <parameter>dst</parameter>, resetting the
+ former. This function cannot fail, as no new memory is allocated. Note that if <parameter>e</parameter> is not set
+ (or <constant>NULL</constant>) <parameter>dst</parameter> is initializated to
+ <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NULL</constant>. Moreover, if <parameter>dst</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant> no
+ operation is executed on it and and resources held by <parameter>e</parameter> are freed and reset. Returns a
+ converted <varname>errno</varname>-like, negative error code.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_is_set()</function> will return a
+ non-zero value if <parameter>e</parameter> is
+ non-<constant>NULL</constant> and an error has been set,
+ <constant>false</constant> otherwise.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_has_name()</function> will return a
+ non-zero value if <parameter>e</parameter> is
+ non-<constant>NULL</constant> and an error with the same
+ <parameter>name</parameter> has been set,
+ <constant>false</constant> otherwise.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_error_free()</function> will destroy

+ will not be deallocated, and must be <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>d
+ by the caller if necessary. The function may also be called safely
+ on unset errors (error structures with both fields set to NULL),
+ in which case it performs no operation. This call will reset the
+ error structure after freeing the data, so that all fields are set
+ to NULL. The structure may be reused afterwards.</para>

+
+ <para>The <function>sd_bus_error_add_map()</function> call may be
+ used to register additional mappings for converting D-Bus errors
+ to Linux <varname>errno</varname>-style errors. The mappings
+ defined with this call are consulted by calls such as
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_error_set</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ or
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_error_get_errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. By
+ default, a number of generic, standardized mappings are known, as
+ documented in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-bus-errors</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Use
+ this call to add further, application-specific mappings.</para>
+
+ <para>The function takes a pointer to an array of
+ <structname>sd_bus_error_map</structname> structures. A reference
+ to the specified array is added to the lookup tables for error
+ mappings. Note that the structure is not copied, and that it is hence
+ essential that the array stays available and constant during the
+ entire remaining runtime of the process.</para>
+
+ <para>The mapping array should be put together with a series of
+ <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_MAP()</constant> macro invocations that
+ take a literal name string and a (positive)
+ <varname>errno</varname>-style error number. The last entry of the
+ array should be an invocation of the
+ <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_MAP_END</constant> macro. The array should not be
+ put together without use of these two macros.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the call is idempotent: it is safe to invoke it
+ multiple times with the parameter, which will only add the passed
+ mapping array once.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the memory allocated by this call is not intended

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_get_fd()</function> returns the file descriptor used to communicate from a message bus
+ object. This descriptor can be used with <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>poll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or a similar
+ function to wait for I/O events on the specified bus connection object. If the bus object was configured with the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_fd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> function, then
+ the <parameter>input_fd</parameter> file descriptor used in that call is returned.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_get_events()</function> returns the I/O events to wait for, suitable for passing to
+ <function>poll()</function> or a similar call. Returns a combination of <constant>POLLIN</constant>,
+ <constant>POLLOUT</constant>, … events, or negative on error.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_get_timeout()</function> returns the time-out in µs to pass to to
+ <function>poll()</function> or a similar call when waiting for events on the specified bus connection. The returned
+ time-out may be zero, in which case a subsequent I/O polling call should be invoked in non-blocking mode. The
+ returned timeout may be <constant>UINT64_MAX</constant> in which case the I/O polling call may block indefinitely,
+ without any applied time-out. Note that the returned time-out should be considered only a maximum sleeping time. It
+ is permissible (and even expected) that shorter time-outs are used by the calling program, in case other event
+ sources are polled in the same event loop. Note that the returned time-value is relative and specified in
+ microseconds. When converting this value in order to pass it as third argument to <function>poll()</function>
+ (which expects milliseconds), care should be taken to use a division that rounds up to ensure the I/O polling
+ operation doesn't sleep for shorter than necessary, which might result in unintended busy looping (alternatively,
+ use <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>ppoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ instead of plain <function>poll()</function>, which understands time-outs with nano-second granularity).</para>
+
+ <para>These three functions are useful to hook up a bus connection object with an external or manual event loop
+ involving <function>poll()</function> or a similar I/O polling call. Before each invocation of the I/O polling
+ call, all three functions should be invoked: the file descriptor returned by <function>sd_bus_get_fd()</function>
+ should be polled for the events indicated by <function>sd_bus_get_events()</function>, and the I/O call should
+ block for that up to the time-out returned by <function>sd_bus_get_timeout()</function>. After each I/O polling
+ call the bus connection needs to process incoming or outgoing data, by invoking
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_process</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that these function are only one of three supported ways to implement I/O event handling for bus
+ connections. Alternatively use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_attach_event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to attach a
+ bus connection to an <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd-event</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ event loop. Or use <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_wait</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>

+ <function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_read()</function> may be used to query the number of bus messages in the read queue

+ to a 64bit counter variable to write the current queue size to. Use <function>sd_bus_process()</function> in

+ medium. The expected arguments are similar to <function>sd_bus_get_n_queued_read()</function>. Here too, use

+ one or more arguments need to be specified, in the same order as
+ declared in the type string.</para>
+
+ <para>The type string is composed of the elements shown in the
+ table below. It contains zero or more single "complete types".
+ Each complete type may be one of the basic types or a fully
+ described container type. A container type may be a structure with
+ the contained types, a variant, an array with its element type, or
+ a dictionary entry with the contained types. The type string is
+ <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated.</para>
+
+ <para>In case of a basic type, one argument of the corresponding
+ type is expected.</para>
+
+ <para>A structure is denoted by a sequence of complete types
+ between <literal>(</literal> and <literal>)</literal>. This
+ sequence cannot be empty — it must contain at least one type.
+ Arguments corresponding to this nested sequence follow the same
+ rules as if they were not nested.</para>
+
+ <para>A variant is denoted by <literal>v</literal>. Corresponding
+ arguments must begin with a type string denoting a complete type,
+ and following that, arguments corresponding to the specified type.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>An array is denoted by <literal>a</literal> followed by a
+ complete type. Corresponding arguments must begin with the number of
+ entries in the array, followed by the entries themselves,
+ matching the element type of the array.</para>
+
+ <para>A dictionary is an array of dictionary entries, denoted by
+ <literal>a</literal> followed by a pair of complete types between
+ <literal>{</literal> and <literal>}</literal>. The first of those
+ types must be a basic type. Corresponding arguments must begin
+ with the number of dictionary entries, followed by a pair of
+ values for each entry matching the element type of
+ the dictionary entries.</para>
+
+ <para>The <function>sd_bus_message_appendv()</function> is equivalent to the
+ <function>sd_bus_message_append()</function>, except that it is called with
+ a <literal>va_list</literal> instead of a variable number of arguments. This
+ function does not call the <function>va_end()</function> macro. Because it

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>The <function>sd_bus_message_append_array()</function>
+ function appends an array to a D-Bus message
+ <parameter>m</parameter>. A container will be opened, the array
+ contents appended, and the container closed. The parameter
+ <parameter>type</parameter> determines how the pointer
+ <parameter>p</parameter> is interpreted.
+ <parameter>type</parameter> must be one of the "trivial" types
+ <literal>y</literal>, <literal>n</literal>, <literal>q</literal>,
+ <literal>i</literal>, <literal>u</literal>, <literal>x</literal>,
+ <literal>t</literal>, <literal>d</literal> (but not
+ <literal>b</literal>), as defined by the <ulink
+ url="http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#basic-types">Basic
+ Types</ulink> section of the D-Bus specification, and listed in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_append_basic</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ Pointer <parameter>p</parameter> must point to an array of size
+ <parameter>size</parameter> bytes containing items of the
+ respective type. Size <parameter>size</parameter> must be a
+ multiple of the size of the type <parameter>type</parameter>. As a
+ special case, <parameter>p</parameter> may be
+ <constant>NULL</constant>, if <parameter>size</parameter> is 0.
+ The memory pointed to by <parameter>p</parameter> is copied into
+ the memory area containing the message and stays in possession of
+ the caller. The caller may hence freely change the data after this
+ call without affecting the message the array was appended
+ to.</para>
+
+ <para>The <function>sd_bus_message_append_array_memfd()</function>
+ function appends an array of a trivial type to message
+ <parameter>m</parameter>, similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_message_append_array()</function>. The contents
+ of the memory file descriptor <parameter>memfd</parameter>
+ starting at the specified offset and of the specified size is
+ used as the contents of the array. The offset and size must be a
+ multiple of the size of the type
+ <parameter>type</parameter>. However, as a special exception, if
+ the offset is specified as zero and the size specified as
+ UINT64_MAX the full memory file descriptor contents is used. The
+ memory file descriptor is sealed by this call if it has not been
+ sealed yet, and cannot be modified after this call. See
+ <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>memfd_create</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details about memory file descriptors. Appending arrays with
+ memory file descriptors enables efficient zero-copy data transfer,
+ as the memory file descriptor may be passed as-is to the
+ destination, without copying the memory in it to the destination
+ process. Not all protocol transports support passing memory file
+ descriptors between participants, in which case this call will
+ automatically fall back to copying. Also, as memory file
+ descriptor passing is inefficient for smaller amounts of data,
+ copying might still be enforced even where memory file descriptor
+ passing is supported.</para>
+
+ <para>The <function>sd_bus_message_append_array_iovec()</function>
+ function appends an array of a trivial type to the message
+ <parameter>m</parameter>, similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_message_append_array()</function>. Contents of
+ the I/O vector array <parameter>iov</parameter> are used as the
+ contents of the array. The total size of
+ <parameter>iov</parameter> payload (the sum of
+ <structfield>iov_len</structfield> fields) must be a multiple of
+ the size of the type <parameter>type</parameter>. The
+ <parameter>iov</parameter> argument must point to
+ <parameter>n</parameter> I/O vector structures. Each structure may
+ have the <structname>iov_base</structname> field set, in which
+ case the memory pointed to will be copied into the message, or
+ unset (set to zero), in which case a block of zeros of length
+ <structname>iov_len</structname> bytes will be inserted. The
+ memory pointed at by <parameter>iov</parameter> may be changed
+ after this call.</para>
+
+ <para>The <function>sd_bus_message_append_array_space()</function>
+ function appends space for an array of a trivial type to message
+ <parameter>m</parameter>. It behaves the same as
+ <function>sd_bus_message_append_array()</function>, but instead of
+ copying items to the message, it returns a pointer to the
+ destination area to the caller in pointer
+ <parameter>p</parameter>. The caller should subsequently write the
+ array contents to this memory. Modifications to the memory
+ pointed to should only occur until the next operation on the bus
+ message is invoked. Most importantly, the memory should not be
+ altered anymore when another field has been added to the message
+ or the message has been sealed.</para>

+ <para>The <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_call()</function> function creates a new bus

+ <parameter>destination</parameter>, path <parameter>path</parameter>, on the interface
+ <parameter>interface</parameter>, member <parameter>member</parameter>.</para>
+
+ <para>Briefly, the <emphasis>destination</emphasis> is a dot-separated name that identifies a
+ service connected to the bus. The <emphasis>path</emphasis> is a slash-separated identifier of

+ defined by the destination. The <emphasis>interface</emphasis> is a dot-separated name that
+ resembles a Java interface name that identifies a group of methods and signals supported by the
+ object identified by path. Methods and signals are collectively called
+ <emphasis>members</emphasis> and are identified by a simple name composed of ASCII letters,
+ numbers, and underscores. See the <ulink
+ url="https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-tutorial.html#concepts">D-Bus Tutorial</ulink> for an
+ in-depth explanation.</para>
+
+ <para>The <parameter>destination</parameter> parameter may be <constant>NULL</constant>. The

+ <para>The <function>sd_bus_message_new_method_error()</function> function creates
+ a new bus message object that is an error reply to the
+ <parameter>call</parameter> message, and returns it in the
+ <parameter>m</parameter> output parameter. The error information from error
+ <parameter>e</parameter> is appended: the <parameter>name</parameter> field of
+ <parameter>e</parameter> is used as the error identifier in the reply header (for
+ example an error name such as
+ <literal>org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NotSupported</literal> or the equivalent
+ symbolic <constant>SD_BUS_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED</constant>), and the
+ <parameter>message</parameter> field is set as the human readable error message
+ string if present. The error <parameter>e</parameter> must have the
+ <parameter>name</parameter> field set, see

+ format string <parameter>format</parameter> and corresponding arguments. An error

+ error value in parameter <parameter>error</parameter>. If the error
+ <parameter>p</parameter> is set (see

+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_error_set_errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and that is used in the reply. (If <parameter>error</parameter> is zero, no error

+ a complete list of allowed arguments and their types. Note that, if the basic type is a pointer
+ (e.g., <code>const char *</code> in the case of a string), the argument is a pointer to a

+ <function>sd_bus_message_read_basic()</function> reads a basic type from a
+ message and advances the read position in the message. The set of basic
+ types and their ascii codes passed in <parameter>type</parameter> are
+ described in the <ulink

+ Specification</ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If <parameter>p</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant>, it should contain
+ a pointer to an appropriate object. For example, if <parameter>type</parameter>
+ is <constant>'y'</constant>, the object passed in <parameter>p</parameter>
+ should have type <code>uint8_t *</code>. If <parameter>type</parameter> is
+ <constant>'s'</constant>, the object passed in <parameter>p</parameter> should
+ have type <code>const char **</code>. Note that, if the basic type is a pointer
+ (e.g., <code>const char *</code> in the case of a string), the pointer is only
+ borrowed and the contents must be copied if they are to be used after the end
+ of the messages lifetime. Similarly, during the lifetime of such a pointer, the
+ message must not be modified. See the table below for a complete list of allowed
+ types.

+ file descriptor passing shall be negotiated for the specified bus
+ connection. It takes a bus object and a boolean, which, when true,
+ enables file descriptor passing, and, when false, disables
+ it. Note that not all transports and servers support file
+ descriptor passing. In particular, networked transports generally
+ do not support file descriptor passing. To find out whether file
+ descriptor passing is available after negotiation, use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_can_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and pass <constant>SD_BUS_TYPE_UNIX_FD</constant>. Note that file
+ descriptor passing is always enabled for both sending and
+ receiving or for neither, but never only in one direction. By
+ default, file descriptor passing is negotiated for all
+ connections.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamp()</function> controls whether implicit sender
+ timestamps shall be attached automatically to all incoming messages. Takes a bus object and a
+ boolean, which, when true, enables timestamping, and, when false, disables it. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_monotonic_usec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_realtime_usec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_get_seqnum</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ to query the timestamps of incoming messages. If negotiation is disabled or not supported, these
+ calls will fail with <constant>-ENODATA</constant>. Note that currently no transports support
+ timestamping of messages. By default, message timestamping is not negotiated for
+ connections.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_negotiate_creds()</function> controls whether and which implicit sender
+ credentials shall be attached automatically to all incoming messages. Takes a bus object and a
+ boolean indicating whether to enable or disable the credential parts encoded in the bit mask
+ value argument. Note that not all transports support attaching sender credentials to messages,
+ or do not support all types of sender credential parameters, or might suppress them under
+ certain circumstances for individual messages. Specifically, dbus1 only supports
+ <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME</constant>. The sender credentials are suitable for
+ authorization decisions. By default, only <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_WELL_KNOWN_NAMES</constant> and
+ <constant>SD_BUS_CREDS_UNIQUE_NAME</constant> are enabled. In fact, these two credential fields
+ are always sent along and cannot be turned off.</para>
+
+ <para>The <function>sd_bus_negotiate_fds()</function> function may
+ be called only before the connection has been started with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Both
+ <function>sd_bus_negotiate_timestamp()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_negotiate_creds()</function> may also be called
+ after a connection has been set up. Note that, when operating on a
+ connection that is shared between multiple components of the same
+ program (for example via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
+ it is highly recommended to only enable additional per message
+ metadata fields, but never disable them again, in order not to
+ disable functionality needed by other components.</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_new()</function> creates a new bus
+ object. This object is reference-counted, and will be destroyed
+ when all references are gone. Initially, the caller of this
+ function owns the sole reference and the bus object will not be
+ connected to any bus. To connect it to a bus, make sure
+ to set an address with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_set_address</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ or a related call, and then start the connection with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>In most cases, it is a better idea to invoke
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default_user</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_default_system</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ or related calls instead of the more low-level
+ <function>sd_bus_new()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_start()</function>. The higher-level calls not
+ only allocate a bus object but also start the connection to a
+ well-known bus in a single function invocation.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_ref()</function> increases the reference
+ counter of <parameter>bus</parameter> by one.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_unref()</function> decreases the reference
+ counter of <parameter>bus</parameter> by one. Once the reference
+ count has dropped to zero, <parameter>bus</parameter> is destroyed
+ and cannot be used anymore, so further calls to
+ <function>sd_bus_ref()</function> or
+ <function>sd_bus_unref()</function> are illegal.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_unrefp()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_unref()</function> but takes a pointer to a
+ pointer to an <type>sd_bus</type> object. This call is useful in
+ conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink
+ url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up
+ Variable Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as
+ inline function. Use a declaration like the following, in order to
+ allocate a bus object that is freed automatically as the code
+ block is left:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>{
+ __attribute__((cleanup(sd_bus_unrefp)) sd_bus *bus = NULL;
+ int r;
+ …
+ r = sd_bus_default(&amp;bus);
+ if (r &lt; 0)
+ fprintf(stderr, "Failed to allocate bus: %s\n", strerror(-r));
+ …
+}</programlisting>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_ref()</function> and <function>sd_bus_unref()</function>
+ execute no operation if the passed in bus object address is
+ <constant>NULL</constant>. <function>sd_bus_unrefp()</function> will first
+ dereference its argument, which must not be <constant>NULL</constant>, and will
+ execute no operation if <emphasis>that</emphasis> is <constant>NULL</constant>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_close_unref()</function> is similar to <function>sd_bus_unref()</function>, but
+ first executes
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_close</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ ensuring that the connection is terminated before the reference to the connection is dropped and possibly
+ the object freed.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_flush_close_unref()</function> is similar to <function>sd_bus_unref()</function>,
+ but first executes
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_flush</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> as well
+ as <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_close</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ ensuring that any pending messages are synchronously flushed out before the reference to the connection
+ is dropped and possibly the object freed. This call is particularly useful immediately before exiting
+ from a program as it ensures that any pending outgoing messages are written out, and unprocessed but
+ queued incoming messages released before the connection is terminated and released.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_close_unrefp()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_close_unref()</function>, but may be used in GCC's and LLVM's Clean-up Variable

+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_path_decode()</function> convert external
+ identifier strings into object paths and back. These functions are
+ useful to map application-specific string identifiers of any kind
+ into bus object paths in a simple, reversible and safe way.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function> takes a bus path
+ prefix and an external identifier string as arguments, plus a
+ place to store the returned bus path string. The bus path prefix
+ must be a valid bus path, starting with a slash
+ <literal>/</literal>, and not ending in one. The external
+ identifier string may be in any format, may be the empty string,
+ and has no restrictions on the charset — however, it must
+ always be <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated. The returned string
+ will be the concatenation of the bus path prefix plus an escaped
+ version of the external identifier string. This operation may be
+ reversed with <function>sd_bus_path_decode()</function>. It is
+ recommended to only use external identifiers that generally
+ require little escaping to be turned into valid bus path
+ identifiers (for example, by sticking to a 7-bit ASCII character
+ set), in order to ensure the resulting bus path is still short and
+ easily processed.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_path_decode()</function> reverses the
+ operation of <function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function> and thus
+ regenerates an external identifier string from a bus path. It
+ takes a bus path and a prefix string, plus a place to store the
+ returned external identifier string. If the bus path does not
+ start with the specified prefix, 0 is returned and the returned
+ string is set to <constant>NULL</constant>. Otherwise, the
+ string following the prefix is unescaped and returned in the
+ external identifier string.</para>
+
+ <para>The escaping used will replace all characters which are
+ invalid in a bus object path by <literal>_</literal>, followed by a
+ hexadecimal value. As a special case, the empty string will be
+ replaced by a lone <literal>_</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_path_encode_many()</function> works like
+ its counterpart <function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function>, but
+ takes a path template as argument and encodes multiple labels
+ according to its embedded directives. For each
+ <literal>%</literal> character found in the template, the caller
+ must provide a string via varargs, which will be encoded and
+ embedded at the position of the <literal>%</literal> character.
+ Any other character in the template is copied verbatim into the
+ encoded path.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_path_decode_many()</function> does the
+ reverse of <function>sd_bus_path_encode_many()</function>. It
+ decodes the passed object path according to the given
+ path template. For each <literal>%</literal> character in the
+ template, the caller must provide an output storage
+ (<literal>char **</literal>) via varargs. The decoded label
+ will be stored there. Each <literal>%</literal> character will
+ only match the current label. It will never match across labels.
+ Furthermore, only a single directive is allowed per label.
+ If <literal>NULL</literal> is passed as output storage, the
+ label is verified but not returned to the caller.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, <function>sd_bus_path_encode()</function>
+ returns positive or 0, and a valid bus path in the return
+ argument. On success, <function>sd_bus_path_decode()</function>
+ returns a positive value if the prefixed matched, or 0 if it
+ did not. If the prefix matched, the external identifier is returned
+ in the return parameter. If it did not match, NULL is returned in
+ the return parameter. On failure, a negative errno-style error
+ number is returned by either function. The returned strings must
+ be

+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_process()</function> drives the connection between the client and the message bus. That is,
+ it handles connecting, authentication, and message processing. When invoked pending I/O work is executed, and
+ queued incoming messages are dispatched to registered callbacks. Each time it is invoked a single operation is
+ executed. It returns zero when no operations were pending and positive if a message was processed. When zero is
+ returned the caller should synchronously poll for I/O events before calling into
+ <function>sd_bus_process()</function> again. For that either user the simple, synchronous

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_set_watch_bind()</function> may be used to enable or disable client-side watching of server
+ socket binding for a bus connection object. If the <parameter>b</parameter> is true, the feature is enabled,
+ otherwise disabled (which is the default). When enabled, and the selected bus address refers to an
+ <filename>AF_UNIX</filename> socket in the file system which does not exist while the connection attempt is made an
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>inotify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> watch is installed on
+ it, waiting for the socket to appear. As soon as the socket appears the connection is made. This functionality is
+ useful in particular in early-boot programs that need to run before the system bus is available, but want to
+ connect to it the instant it may be connected to.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_get_watch_bind()</function> may be used to query the current setting of this feature. It
+ returns zero when the feature is disabled, and positive if enabled.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that no timeout is applied while it is waited for the socket to appear. This means that any synchronous
+ remote operation (such as
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_call</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_match</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_request_name</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>), that is
+ used on a connection with this feature enabled that is not established yet might block unbounded if the socket is
+ never created. However, asynchronous remote operations (such as
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_send</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_match_async</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_request_match_async</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>) do
+ not block in this case, and safely enqueue the requested operations to be dispatched the instant the connection is
+ set up.</para>
+
+ <para>Use <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_is_ready</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
+ determine whether the connection is fully established, i.e. whether the peer socket has been bound, connected to
+ and authenticated. Use

+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_slot_set_floating()</function> controls whether the specified bus slot object
+ <parameter>slot</parameter> shall be "floating" or not. A floating bus slot object's lifetime is bound to the
+ lifetime of the bus object it is associated with, meaning that it remains allocated as long as the bus object
+ itself and is freed automatically when the bus object is freed. Regular (i.e. non-floating) bus slot objects keep
+ the bus referenced, hence the bus object remains allocated at least as long as there remains at least one
+ referenced bus slot object around. The floating state hence controls the direction of referencing between the bus
+ object and the bus slot objects: if floating the bus pins the bus slot, and otherwise the bus slot pins the bus
+ objects. Use <function>sd_bus_slot_set_floating()</function> to switch between both modes: if the
+ <parameter>b</parameter> parameter is zero, the slot object is considered floating, otherwise it is made a regular
+ (non-floating) slot object.</para>
+
+ <para>Bus slot objects may be allocated with calls such as
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_match</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. If the
+ <parameter>slot</parameter> of these functions is non-<constant>NULL</constant> the slot object will be of the
+ regular kind (i.e. non-floating), otherwise it will be created floating. With
+ <function>sd_bus_slot_set_floating()</function> a bus slot object allocated as regular can be converted into a
+ floating object and back. This is particularly useful for creating a bus slot object, then changing parameters of
+ it, and then turning it into a floating object, whose lifecycle is managed by the bus object.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_slot_get_floating()</function> returns the current floating state of the specified bus slot
+ object. It returns negative on error, zero if the bus slot object is a regular (non-floating) object and positive
+ otherwise.</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> adds a peer to track to a bus peer tracking object. The first
+ argument should refer to a bus peer tracking object created with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, the second
+ name should refer to a D-Bus peer name to track, either in unique or well-known service format. If the name is not
+ tracked yet it will be added to the list of names to track. If it already is being tracked and non-recursive mode
+ is enabled, no operation is executed by this call. If recursive mode is enabled a per-name counter is increased by
+ one each time this call is invoked, and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> has to be called as many
+ times as <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was invoked before in order to stop tracking of the name. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_set_recursive</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
+ switch from the default non-recursive mode to recursive mode, or back. Note that the specified name is tracked as
+ it is, well-known names are not resolved to unique names by this call. Note that multiple bus peer tracking objects
+ may track the same name.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> undoes the effect of
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and removes a bus peer name from the list of peers to watch. Depending
+ on whether non-recursive or recursive mode is enabled for the bus peer tracking object this call will either remove
+ the name fully from the tracking object, or will simply decrement the per-name counter by one, removing the name
+ only when the counter reaches zero (see above). Note that a bus peer disconnecting from the bus will implicitly
+ remove its names fully from the bus peer tracking object, regardless of the current per-name counter.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function> are
+ similar to <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> but
+ take a bus message as argument. The sender of this bus message is determined and added to/removed from the bus peer
+ tracking object. As messages always originate from unique names, and never from well-known names this means that
+ this call will effectively only add unique names to the bus peer tracking object.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_count()</function> returns the number of names currently being tracked by the
+ specified bus peer tracking object. Note that this function always returns the actual number of names tracked, and
+ hence if <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> has been invoked multiple times for the same name it is only
+ counted as one, regardless if recursive mode is used or not.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function> returns the current per-name counter for the specified
+ name. If non-recursive mode is used this returns either 1 or 0, depending on whether the specified name has been
+ added to the tracking object before, or not. If recursive mode has been enabled, values larger than 1 may be
+ returned too, in case <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> has been called multiple times for the same
+ name.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_count_sender()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function>, but takes a bus message object and returns the per-name counter
+ matching the sender of the message.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_contains()</function> may be used to determine whether the specified name has been
+ added at least once to the specified bus peer tracking object.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> may be used to
+ enumerate all names currently being tracked by the passed bus peer tracking
+ object. <function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> returns the first entry in the object, and resets an internally
+ maintained read index. Each subsequent invocation of <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> returns the next name
+ contained in the bus object. If the end is reached <constant>NULL</constant> is returned. If no names have been
+ added to the object yet <function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> will return <constant>NULL</constant>
+ immediately. The order in which names are returned is undefined; in particular which name is considered the first
+ returned is not defined. If recursive mode is enabled and the same name has been added multiple times to the bus
+ peer tracking object it is only returned once by this enumeration. If new names are added to or existing names
+ removed from the bus peer tracking object while it is being enumerated the enumeration ends on the next invocation
+ of <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> as <constant>NULL</constant> is returned.</para>

+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function> return

+ <constant>-EUNATCH</constant> is returned in this case. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error

+

+ returned in recursive mode. On failure, a negative errno-style error code is returned.</para>
+

+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> or implicitly because the peer disconnected from the bus. The final

+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_unrefp()</function> is similar to <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> but takes
+ a pointer to a pointer to an <type>sd_bus_track</type> object. This call is useful in conjunction with GCC's and
+ LLVM's <ulink url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up Variable

+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function>, <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_unrefp()</function> execute no operation if the passed in bus peer tracking object is
+ <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para>Bus peer tracking objects may exist in two modes: by default they operate in non-recursive mode, but may
+ optionally be switched into recursive mode. If operating in the default non-recursive mode a peer is either tracked
+ or not tracked. In this mode invoking <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> multiple times in a row for the
+ same peer is fully equivalent to calling it just once, as the call adds the peer to the set of tracked peers if
+ necessary, and executes no operation if the peer is already being tracked. A single invocation of
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> removes the reference on the peer again, regardless how many times
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was called before. If operating in recursive mode, the number of times
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> is invoked for the same peer name is counted and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> must be called the same number of times before the peer is not
+ tracked anymore, with the exception when the tracked peer vanishes from the bus, in which case the count is
+ irrelevant and the tracking of the specific peer is immediately
+ removed. <function>sd_bus_track_get_recursive()</function> may be used to determine whether the bus peer tracking
+ object is operating in recursive mode. <function>sd_bus_track_set_recursive()</function> may be used to enable or
+ disable recursive mode. By default a bus peer tracking object operates in non-recursive mode, and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_get_recursive()</function> for a newly allocated object hence returns a value equal to
+ zero. Use <function>sd_bus_track_set_recursive()</function> to enable recursive mode, right after allocation. It
+ takes a boolean argument to enable or disable recursive mode. Note that tracking objects for which
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was already invoked at least once (and which hence track already one
+ or more peers) may not be switched from recursive to non-recursive mode anymore.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_get_bus()</function> returns the bus object the bus peer tracking object belongs
+ to. It returns the bus object initially passed to <function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> when the object was

+ <parameter>pid</parameter> parameter specifies the PID of the
+ process to watch. The <parameter>handler</parameter> must
+ reference a function to call when the process changes state. The
+ handler function will be passed the
+ <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer, which may be chosen
+ freely by the caller. The handler also receives a pointer to a
+ <structname>siginfo_t</structname> structure containing
+ information about the child process event. The
+ <parameter>options</parameter> parameter determines which state
+ changes will be watched for. It must contain an OR-ed mask of
+ <constant>WEXITED</constant> (watch for the child process
+ terminating), <constant>WSTOPPED</constant> (watch for the child
+ process being stopped by a signal), and
+ <constant>WCONTINUED</constant> (watch for the child process being

+
+ <para><function>sd_event_add_io()</function> adds a new I/O event
+ source to an event loop. The event loop object is specified in the
+ <parameter>event</parameter> parameter, the event source object is
+ returned in the <parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The
+ <parameter>fd</parameter> parameter takes the UNIX file descriptor
+ to watch, which may refer to a socket, a FIFO, a message queue, a
+ serial connection, a character device, or any other file descriptor
+ compatible with Linux
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
+ <parameter>events</parameter> parameter takes a bit mask of events
+ to watch for, a combination of the following event flags:
+ <constant>EPOLLIN</constant>, <constant>EPOLLOUT</constant>,
+ <constant>EPOLLRDHUP</constant>, <constant>EPOLLPRI</constant>,
+ and <constant>EPOLLET</constant>, see
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll_ctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. The <parameter>handler</parameter> shall reference a
+ function to call when the event source is triggered. The
+ <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer will be passed to the
+ handler function, and may be chosen freely by the caller. The
+ handler will also be passed the file descriptor the event was seen
+ on, as well as the actual event flags. It's generally a subset of
+ the events watched, however may additionally include
+ <constant>EPOLLERR</constant> and <constant>EPOLLHUP</constant>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>By default, an event source will stay enabled
+ continuously (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>), but this may be
+ changed with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be
+ disabled after the invocation, even if the
+ <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before. Note
+ that an event source set to <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> will
+ fire continuously unless data is read from or written to the file
+ descriptor to reset the mask of events seen.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Setting the I/O event mask to watch for to 0 does not mean
+ that the event source won't be triggered anymore, as
+ <constant>EPOLLHUP</constant> and <constant>EPOLLERR</constant>
+ may be triggered even with a zero event mask. To temporarily
+ disable an I/O event source use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ with <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> instead.</para>
+
+ <para>To destroy an event source object use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ but note that the event source is only removed from the event loop
+ when all references to the event source are dropped. To make sure
+ an event source does not fire anymore, even if it is still referenced,
+ disable the event source using
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ with <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para>If the second parameter of
+ <function>sd_event_add_io()</function> is
+ <constant>NULL</constant> no reference to the event source object
+ is returned. In this case the event source is considered
+ "floating", and will be destroyed implicitly when the event loop
+ itself is destroyed.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to use
+ <function>sd_event_add_io()</function> only in conjunction with
+ file descriptors that have <constant>O_NONBLOCK</constant> set, to
+ ensure that all I/O operations from invoked handlers are properly
+ asynchronous and non-blocking. Using file descriptors without
+ <constant>O_NONBLOCK</constant> might result in unexpected
+ starvation of other event sources. See
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fcntl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details on enabling <constant>O_NONBLOCK</constant> mode.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_get_io_events()</function> retrieves
+ the configured mask of watched I/O events of an event source created
+ previously with <function>sd_event_add_io()</function>. It takes
+ the event source object and a pointer to a variable to store the
+ mask in.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_set_io_events()</function>
+ configures the mask of watched I/O events of an event source created
+ previously with <function>sd_event_add_io()</function>. It takes the
+ event source object and the new event mask.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_get_io_revents()</function>
+ retrieves the I/O event mask of currently seen but undispatched
+ events from an event source created previously with
+ <function>sd_event_add_io()</function>. It takes the event source
+ object and a pointer to a variable to store the event mask
+ in. When called from a handler function on the handler's event

+ <function>sd_event_source_get_pending()</function> and
+ <function>sd_event_source_get_io_revents()</function>: both

+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_set_io_fd_own()</function> controls whether the file descriptor of the event source
+ shall be closed automatically when the event source is freed, i.e. whether it shall be considered 'owned' by the

+ when the event source is freed, otherwise it is closed.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_get_io_fd_own()</function> may be used to query the current setting of the file

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_add_signal()</function> adds a new UNIX
+ process signal event source to an event loop. The event loop
+ object is specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> parameter,
+ and the event source object is returned in the
+ <parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The
+ <parameter>signal</parameter> parameter specifies the numeric
+ signal to be handled (see <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+ The <parameter>handler</parameter> parameter must reference a
+ function to call when the signal is received or be
+ <constant>NULL</constant>. The handler function will be passed
+ the <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer, which may be chosen
+ freely by the caller. The handler also receives a pointer to a
+ <structname>signalfd_siginfo</structname> structure containing
+ information about the received signal. See <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>signalfd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for further information.</para>
+
+ <para>Only a single handler may be installed for a specific
+ signal. The signal will be unblocked by this call, and must be
+ blocked before this function is called in all threads (using
+ <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sigprocmask</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>). If
+ the handler is not specified (<parameter>handler</parameter> is
+ <constant>NULL</constant>), a default handler which causes the
+ program to exit cleanly will be used.</para>
+
+ <para>By default, the event source is enabled permanently
+ (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>), but this may be changed with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be
+ disabled after the invocation, even if the
+ <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>To destroy an event source object use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ but note that the event source is only removed from the event loop
+ when all references to the event source are dropped. To make sure
+ an event source does not fire anymore, even if it is still referenced,
+ disable the event source using
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>

+ itself is destroyed.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_get_signal()</function> returns

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_add_time()</function> adds a new timer event source to an event loop. The event loop
+ object is specified in the <parameter>event</parameter> parameter, the event source object is returned in the
+ <parameter>source</parameter> parameter. The <parameter>clock</parameter> parameter takes a clock identifier, one
+ of <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant>, <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>, <constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME</constant>,
+ <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM</constant>, or <constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM</constant>. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>timerfd_create</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details
+ regarding the various types of clocks. The <parameter>usec</parameter> parameter specifies the earliest time, in
+ microseconds (µs), relative to the clock's epoch, when the timer shall be triggered. If a time already in the past
+ is specified (including <constant>0</constant>), this timer source "fires" immediately and is ready to be
+ dispatched. If the parameter is specified as <constant>UINT64_MAX</constant> the timer event will never elapse,
+ which may be used as an alternative to explicitly disabling a timer event source with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
+ <parameter>accuracy</parameter> parameter specifies an additional accuracy value in µs specifying how much the
+ timer event may be delayed. Use <constant>0</constant> to select the default accuracy (250ms). Use 1µs for maximum
+ accuracy. Consider specifying 60000000µs (1min) or larger for long-running events that may be delayed
+ substantially. Picking higher accuracy values allows the system to coalesce timer events more aggressively,
+ improving power efficiency. The <parameter>handler</parameter> parameter shall reference a function to call when
+ the timer elapses. The handler function will be passed the <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer, which may be
+ chosen freely by the caller. The handler is also passed the configured trigger time, even if it is actually called
+ slightly later, subject to the specified accuracy value, the kernel timer slack (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>prctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>), and additional
+ scheduling latencies. To query the actual time the handler was called use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_now</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>By default, the timer will elapse once
+ (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>), but this may be changed
+ with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_source_set_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ If the handler function returns a negative error code, it will be
+ disabled after the invocation, even if the
+ <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> mode was requested before. Note
+ that a timer event set to <constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant> will
+ fire continuously unless its configured time is updated using
+ <function>sd_event_source_set_time()</function>.

+ when all references to the event source are dropped. To make sure

+
+ <para>If the <parameter>handler</parameter> to

+ add the desired timespan to it, and use the result as

+
+ <para>In order to set up repetitive timers (that is, timers that

+ iteration, and reenable the timer using

+
+ <para><function>sd_event_new()</function> allocates a new event
+ loop object. The event loop object is returned in the
+ <parameter>event</parameter> parameter. After use, drop
+ the returned reference with
+ <function>sd_event_unref()</function>. When the last reference is
+ dropped, the object is freed.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_default()</function> acquires a reference
+ to the default event loop object of the calling thread, possibly
+ allocating a new object if no default event loop object has been
+ allocated yet for the thread. After use, drop the returned
+ reference with <function>sd_event_unref()</function>. When the
+ last reference is dropped, the event loop is freed. If this
+ function is called while the object returned from a previous call
+ from the same thread is still referenced, the same object is
+ returned again, but the reference is increased by one. It is
+ recommended to use this call instead of
+ <function>sd_event_new()</function> in order to share event loop
+ objects between various components that are dispatched in the same
+ thread. All threads have exactly either zero or one default event loop
+ objects associated, but never more.</para>
+
+ <para>After allocating an event loop object, add event sources to
+ it with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,

+ <para><function>sd_event_ref()</function> increases the reference
+ count of the specified event loop object by one.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_unref()</function> decreases the
+ reference count of the specified event loop object by one. If
+ the count hits zero, the object is freed. Note that it
+ is freed regardless of whether it is the default event loop object for a
+ thread or not. This means that allocating an event loop with
+ <function>sd_event_default()</function>, then releasing it, and
+ then acquiring a new one with
+ <function>sd_event_default()</function> will result in two
+ distinct objects. Note that, in order to free an event loop object,
+ all remaining event sources of the event loop also need to be
+ freed as each keeps a reference to it.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_unrefp()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_event_unref()</function> but takes a pointer to a
+ pointer to an <type>sd_event</type> object. This call is useful in
+ conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink
+ url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up
+ Variable Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as
+ inline function. Use a declaration like the following,
+ in order to allocate an event loop object that is freed
+ automatically as the code block is left:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>{
+ __attribute__((cleanup(sd_event_unrefp)) sd_event *event = NULL;
+ int r;
+ …
+ r = sd_event_default(&amp;event);
+ if (r &lt; 0)

+ …
+}</programlisting>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_ref()</function>,
+ <function>sd_event_unref()</function> and
+ <function>sd_event_unrefp()</function> execute no operation if the
+ passed in event loop object is <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_get_tid()</function> retrieves the thread
+ identifier ("TID") of the thread the specified event loop object
+ is associated with. This call is only supported for event loops
+ allocated with <function>sd_event_default()</function>, and
+ returns the identifier for the thread the event loop is the
+ default event loop of. See <citerefentry

+
+ <para><function>sd_event_now()</function> returns the time when
+ the most recent event loop iteration began. A timestamp
+ is taken right after returning from the event sleep, and before
+ dispatching any event sources. The <parameter>event</parameter>
+ parameter specifies the event loop object to retrieve the timestamp
+ from. The <parameter>clock</parameter> parameter specifies the clock to
+ retrieve the timestamp for, and is one of
+ <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME</constant> (or equivalently
+ <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM</constant>),
+ <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>, or
+ <constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME</constant> (or equivalently
+ <constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM</constant>), see
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information on the various clocks. The retrieved
+ timestamp is stored in the <parameter>usec</parameter> parameter,
+ in µs since the clock's epoch. If this function is invoked before
+ the first event loop iteration, the current time is returned, as
+ reported by <function>clock_gettime()</function>. To distinguish
+ this case from a regular invocation the return value will be
+ positive, and zero when the returned timestamp refers to an actual

+
+ <para><function>sd_event_set_watchdog()</function> may be used to
+ enable or disable automatic watchdog notification support in the
+ event loop object specified in the <parameter>event</parameter>
+ parameter. Specifically, depending on the <parameter>b</parameter>
+ boolean argument this will make sure the event loop wakes up in
+ regular intervals and sends watchdog notification messages to the
+ service manager, if this was requested by the service
+ manager. Watchdog support is determined with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_watchdog_enabled</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ and watchdog messages are sent with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. See
+ the <varname>WatchdogSec=</varname> setting in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details on how to enable watchdog support for a service and
+ the protocol used. The wake-up interval is chosen as half the
+ watchdog timeout declared by the service manager via the
+ <varname>$WATCHDOG_USEC</varname> environment variable. If the
+ service manager did not request watchdog notifications, or if the
+ process was not invoked by the service manager this call with a
+ true <parameter>b</parameter> parameter executes no
+ operation. Passing a false <parameter>b</parameter> parameter will
+ disable the automatic sending of watchdog notification messages if
+ it was enabled before. Newly allocated event loop objects have
+ this feature disabled.</para>
+
+ <para>The first watchdog notification message is sent immediately
+ when <function>set_event_set_watchdog()</function> is invoked with
+ a true <parameter>b</parameter> parameter.</para>
+
+ <para>The watchdog logic is designed to allow the service manager
+ to automatically detect services that ceased processing of
+ incoming events, and thus appear "hung". Watchdog notifications
+ are sent out only at the beginning of each event loop
+ iteration. If an event source dispatch function blocks for an
+ excessively long time and does not return execution to the event
+ loop quickly, this might hence cause the notification message to
+ be delayed, and possibly result in abnormal program termination,
+ as configured in the service unit file.</para>

+ <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>. If invoked with

+ enabled but automatically reset to
+ <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant> after the event source was
+ dispatched once.</para>
+
+ <para>Event sources that are disabled will not result in event

+ again.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_get_enabled()</function> may be

+ <constant>SD_EVENT_OFF</constant>, <constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>)
+ in <parameter>enabled</parameter>, if it is not <constant>NULL</constant>.

+ (<constant>SD_EVENT_ON</constant>) or only for a single invocation
+ of the event source handler
+ (<constant>SD_EVENT_ONESHOT</constant>). For details see the

+
+ <para>As event source objects stay active and may be dispatched as

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_event_source_set_priority()</function> may be
+ used to set the priority for the event source object specified as
+ <parameter>source</parameter>. The priority is specified as an
+ arbitrary signed 64bit integer. The priority is initialized to
+ <constant>SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_NORMAL</constant> (0) when the event
+ source is allocated with a call such as
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_io</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ or
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ and may be changed with this call. If multiple event sources have seen events at the same time, they are dispatched in the order indicated by the
+ event sources' priorities. Event sources with smaller priority
+ values are dispatched first. As well-known points of reference,
+ the constants <constant>SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_IMPORTANT</constant>
+ (-100), <constant>SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_NORMAL</constant> (0) and
+ <constant>SD_EVENT_PRIORITY_IDLE</constant> (100) may be used to
+ indicate event sources that shall be dispatched early, normally or
+ late. It is recommended to specify priorities based on these
+ definitions, and relative to them — however, the full 64bit
+ signed integer range is available for ordering event
+ sources.</para>
+
+ <para>Priorities define the order in which event sources that have
+ seen events are dispatched. Care should be taken to ensure that
+ high-priority event sources (those with negative priority values
+ assigned) do not cause starvation of low-priority event sources
+ (those with positive priority values assigned).</para>
+
+ <para>The order in which event sources with the same priority are
+ dispatched is undefined, but the event loop generally tries to
+ dispatch them in the order it learnt about events on them. As the
+ backing kernel primitives do not provide accurate information
+ about the order in which events occurred this is not necessarily
+ reliable. However, it is guaranteed that if events are seen on
+ multiple same-priority event sources at the same time, each one is
+ not dispatched again until all others have been dispatched
+ once. This behavior guarantees that within each priority
+ particular event sources do not starve or dominate the event
+ loop.</para>
+
+ <para>The priority of event sources may be changed at any time of their lifetime, with the exception of inotify
+ event sources (i.e. those created with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_event_add_inotify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>) whose
+ priority may only be changed in the time between their initial creation and the first subsequent event loop
+ iteration.</para>

+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> returns the machine ID of the executing host. This reads and
+ parses the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ file. This function caches the machine ID internally to make retrieving the machine ID a cheap operation. This ID
+ may be used wherever a unique identifier for the local system is needed. However, it is recommended to use this ID
+ as-is only in trusted environments. In untrusted environments it is recommended to derive an application specific
+ ID from this machine ID, in an irreversable (cryptographically secure) way. To make this easy
+ <function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> is provided, see below.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function>, but retrieves a machine ID that is specific to the application that is
+ identified by the indicated application ID. It is recommended to use this function instead of
+ <function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> when passing an ID to untrusted environments, in order to make sure
+ that the original machine ID may not be determined externally. This way, the ID used by the application remains
+ stable on a given machine, but cannot be easily correlated with IDs used in other applications on the same
+ machine. The application-specific ID should be generated via a tool like <command>systemd-id128 new</command>,
+ and may be compiled into the application. This function will return the same application-specific ID for each
+ combination of machine ID and application ID. Internally, this function calculates HMAC-SHA256 of the application
+ ID, keyed by the machine ID.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_get_boot()</function> returns the boot ID of the executing kernel. This reads and parses
+ the <filename>/proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id</filename> file exposed by the kernel. It is randomly generated early
+ at boot and is unique for every running kernel instance. See <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>random</refentrytitle><manvolnum>4</manvolnum></citerefentry> for more
+ information. This function also internally caches the returned ID to make this call a cheap operation. It is
+ recommended to use this ID as-is only in trusted environments. In untrusted environments it is recommended to
+ derive an application specific ID using <function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function>, see below.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_get_boot_app_specific()</function> is analogous to
+ <function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function> but returns an ID that changes between boots. Some
+ machines may be used for a long time without rebooting, hence the boot ID may remain constant for a long time, and
+ has properties similar to the machine ID during that time.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_id128_get_invocation()</function> returns the invocation ID of the currently executed
+ service. In its current implementation, this reads and parses the <varname>$INVOCATION_ID</varname> environment
+ variable that the service manager sets when activating a service, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details. The
+ ID is cached internally. In future a different mechanism to determine the invocation ID may be added.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that <function>sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific()</function>, <function>sd_id128_get_boot()</function>,
+ <function>sd_id128_get_boot_app_specific()</function>, and <function>sd_id128_get_invocation()</function> always
+ return UUID v4 compatible IDs. <function>sd_id128_get_machine()</function> will also return a UUID v4-compatible
+ ID on new installations but might not on older. It is possible to convert the machine ID into a UUID v4-compatible

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_add_match()</function> adds a match by
+ which to filter the entries of the journal file. Matches applied
+ with this call will filter what can be iterated through and read
+ from the journal file via calls like
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ Parameter <parameter>data</parameter> must be of the form
+ <literal><replaceable>FIELD</replaceable>=<replaceable>value</replaceable></literal>,
+ where the <replaceable>FIELD</replaceable> part is a short uppercase string consisting only
+ of 0–9, A–Z and the underscore; it may not begin with two underscores or be the empty
+ string. The <replaceable>value</replaceable> part may be anything, including binary. Parameter
+ <parameter>size</parameter> specifies the number of bytes in <parameter>data</parameter>
+ (i.e. the length of <replaceable>FIELD</replaceable>, plus one, plus the length of
+ <replaceable>value</replaceable>). Parameter <parameter>size</parameter> may also be
+ specified as <constant>0</constant>, in which case <parameter>data</parameter>
+ must be a <constant>NUL</constant>-terminated string, and the bytes before the terminating
+ zero are used as the match.</para>
+
+ <para>If a match is applied, only entries with this field set
+ will be iterated. Multiple matches may be active at the same time:
+ If they apply to different fields, only entries with both fields
+ set like this will be iterated. If they apply to the same fields,
+ only entries where the field takes one of the specified values
+ will be iterated. Well known fields are documented in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ Whenever a new match is added the current entry position is reset,
+ and
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ (or a similar call) needs to be called before entries can be read
+ again.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> may be
+ used to insert a disjunction (i.e. logical OR) in the match list.
+ If this call is invoked, all previously added matches since the
+ last invocation of
+ <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> or
+ <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> are combined in
+ an OR with all matches added afterwards, until
+ <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> or
+ <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> is invoked again
+ to begin the next OR or AND term. </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> may be
+ used to insert a conjunction (i.e. logical AND) in the match list.
+ If this call is invoked, all previously added matches since the
+ last invocation of
+ <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> are combined in
+ an AND with all matches added afterwards, until
+ <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> is invoked again
+ to begin the next AND term. The combination of
+ <function>sd_journal_add_match()</function>,
+ <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function> and
+ <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> may be used to
+ build complex search terms, even though full logical expressions
+ are not available. Note that
+ <function>sd_journal_add_conjunction()</function> operates one
+ level 'higher' than
+ <function>sd_journal_add_disjunction()</function>. It is hence
+ possible to build an expression of AND terms, consisting of OR
+ terms, consisting of AND terms, consisting of OR terms of matches
+ (the latter OR expression is implicitly created for matches with
+ the same field name, see above).</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_flush_matches()</function> may be used
+ to flush all matches, disjunction and conjunction terms again.
+ After this call all filtering is removed and all entries in the
+ journal will be iterated again.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that filtering via matches only applies to the way the
+ journal is read, it has no effect on storage on disk.</para>

+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_cursor()</function> returns a
+ cursor string for the current journal entry. A cursor is a
+ serialization of the current journal position formatted as text.
+ The string only contains printable characters and can be passed
+ around in text form. The cursor identifies a journal entry
+ globally and in a stable way and may be used to later seek to it
+ via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ The cursor string should be considered opaque and not be parsed by
+ clients. Seeking to a cursor position without the specific entry
+ being available locally will seek to the next closest (in terms of
+ time) available entry. The call takes two arguments: a journal
+ context object and a pointer to a string pointer where the cursor
+ string will be placed. The string is allocated via libc
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>malloc</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>

+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_test_cursor()</function>
+ may be used to check whether the current position in
+ the journal matches the specified cursor. This is
+ useful since cursor strings do not uniquely identify
+ an entry: the same entry might be referred to by
+ multiple different cursor strings, and hence string
+ comparing cursors is not possible. Use this call to
+ verify after an invocation of
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> gets the data
+ object associated with a specific field from the current journal
+ entry. It takes four arguments: the journal context object, a
+ string with the field name to request, plus a pair of pointers to
+ pointer/size variables where the data object and its size shall be
+ stored in. The field name should be an entry field name.
+ Well-known field names are listed in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ The returned data is in a read-only memory map and is only valid
+ until the next invocation of
+ <function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> or
+ <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function>, or the read
+ pointer is altered. Note that the data returned will be prefixed
+ with the field name and '='. Also note that, by default, data fields
+ larger than 64K might get truncated to 64K. This threshold may be
+ changed and turned off with
+ <function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function> (see
+ below).</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function> may be used
+ to iterate through all fields of the current entry. On each
+ invocation the data for the next field is returned. The order of
+ these fields is not defined. The data returned is in the same
+ format as with <function>sd_journal_get_data()</function> and also
+ follows the same life-time semantics.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_restart_data()</function> resets the
+ data enumeration index to the beginning of the entry. The next
+ invocation of <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function>
+ will return the first field of the entry again.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH_DATA()</function>
+ macro may be used as a handy wrapper around
+ <function>sd_journal_restart_data()</function> and
+ <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that these functions will not work before
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_next</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ (or related call) has been called at least once, in order to
+ position the read pointer at a valid entry.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function> may be
+ used to change the data field size threshold for data returned by
+ <function>sd_journal_get_data()</function>,
+ <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function> and
+ <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. This threshold
+ is a hint only: it indicates that the client program is interested
+ only in the initial parts of the data fields, up to the threshold
+ in size — but the library might still return larger data objects.
+ That means applications should not rely exclusively on this
+ setting to limit the size of the data fields returned, but need to
+ apply an explicit size limit on the returned data as well. This
+ threshold defaults to 64K by default. To retrieve the complete
+ data fields this threshold should be turned off by setting it to
+ 0, so that the library always returns the complete data objects.
+ It is recommended to set this threshold as low as possible since
+ this relieves the library from having to decompress large
+ compressed data objects in full.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_data_threshold()</function> returns
+ the currently configured data field size threshold.</para>

+ has not been called at least once, -EADDRNOTAVAIL is returned.
+ <function>sd_journal_enumerate_data()</function> returns a

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_fd()</function> returns a file
+ descriptor that may be asynchronously polled in an external event
+ loop and is signaled as soon as the journal changes, because new
+ entries or files were added, rotation took place, or files have
+ been deleted, and similar. The file descriptor is suitable for
+ usage in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>poll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ Use <function>sd_journal_get_events()</function> for an events
+ mask to watch for. The call takes one argument: the journal
+ context object. Note that not all file systems are capable of
+ generating the necessary events for wakeups from this file
+ descriptor for changes to be noticed immediately. In particular
+ network files systems do not generate suitable file change events
+ in all cases. Cases like this can be detected with
+ <function>sd_journal_reliable_fd()</function>, below.
+ <function>sd_journal_get_timeout()</function> will ensure in these
+ cases that wake-ups happen frequently enough for changes to be
+ noticed, although with a certain latency.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_events()</function> will return the
+ <function>poll()</function> mask to wait for. This function will
+ return a combination of <constant>POLLIN</constant> and
+ <constant>POLLOUT</constant> and similar to fill into the
+ <literal>.events</literal> field of <varname>struct
+ pollfd</varname>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_get_timeout()</function> will return a
+ timeout value for usage in <function>poll()</function>. This
+ returns a value in microseconds since the epoch of
+ <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> for timing out
+ <function>poll()</function> in <varname>timeout_usec</varname>.
+ See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details about <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. If there
+ is no timeout to wait for, this will fill in <constant>(uint64_t)
+ -1</constant> instead. Note that <function>poll()</function> takes
+ a relative timeout in milliseconds rather than an absolute timeout
+ in microseconds. To convert the absolute 'us' timeout into
+ relative 'ms', use code like the following:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>uint64_t t;
+int msec;
+sd_journal_get_timeout(m, &amp;t);
+if (t == (uint64_t) -1)
+ msec = -1;
+else {
+ struct timespec ts;
+ uint64_t n;
+ clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &amp;ts);
+ n = (uint64_t) ts.tv_sec * 1000000 + ts.tv_nsec / 1000;
+ msec = t > n ? (int) ((t - n + 999) / 1000) : 0;
+}</programlisting>
+
+ <para>The code above does not do any error checking for brevity's
+ sake. The calculated <varname>msec</varname> integer can be passed
+ directly as <function>poll()</function>'s timeout
+ parameter.</para>
+
+ <para>After each <function>poll()</function> wake-up
+ <function>sd_journal_process()</function> needs to be called to
+ process events. This call will also indicate what kind of change
+ has been detected (see below; note that spurious wake-ups are
+ possible).</para>
+
+ <para>A synchronous alternative for using
+ <function>sd_journal_get_fd()</function>,
+ <function>sd_journal_get_events()</function>,
+ <function>sd_journal_get_timeout()</function> and
+ <function>sd_journal_process()</function> is
+ <function>sd_journal_wait()</function>. It will synchronously wait
+ until the journal gets changed. The maximum time this call sleeps
+ may be controlled with the <parameter>timeout_usec</parameter>
+ parameter. Pass <constant>(uint64_t) -1</constant> to wait
+ indefinitely. Internally this call simply combines
+ <function>sd_journal_get_fd()</function>,
+ <function>sd_journal_get_events()</function>,
+ <function>sd_journal_get_timeout()</function>,
+ <function>poll()</function> and
+ <function>sd_journal_process()</function> into one.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_reliable_fd()</function> may be used to
+ check whether the wakeup events from the file descriptor returned
+ by <function>sd_journal_get_fd()</function> are known to be
+ immediately triggered. On certain file systems where file change
+ events from the OS are not available (such as NFS) changes need to
+ be polled for repeatedly, and hence are detected only with a
+ certain latency. This call will return a positive value if the
+ journal changes are detected immediately and zero when they need
+ to be polled for and hence might be noticed only with a certain
+ latency. Note that there is usually no need to invoke this function
+ directly as <function>sd_journal_get_timeout()</function> on these

+ the read pointer by multiple entries at once, as specified in the
+ <varname>skip</varname> parameter.</para>
+
+ <para>The journal is strictly ordered by reception time, and hence
+ advancing to the next entry guarantees that the entry then
+ pointing to is later in time than then previous one, or has the

+
+ <para>Note that

+ once in order to position the read pointer on a journal
+ entry.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the <function>SD_JOURNAL_FOREACH()</function>
+ macro may be used as a wrapper around
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_seek_head</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and <function>sd_journal_next()</function> in order to make

+ <function>sd_journal_next()</function> or
+ <function>sd_journal_previous()</function> reach the end/beginning
+ of the journal they will return 0, instead of 1 when they are

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_open()</function> opens the log journal
+ for reading. It will find all journal files automatically and
+ interleave them automatically when reading. As first argument it
+ takes a pointer to a <varname>sd_journal</varname> pointer, which,
+ on success, will contain a journal context object. The second
+ argument is a flags field, which may consist of the following
+ flags ORed together: <constant>SD_JOURNAL_LOCAL_ONLY</constant>
+ makes sure only journal files generated on the local machine will
+ be opened. <constant>SD_JOURNAL_RUNTIME_ONLY</constant> makes sure
+ only volatile journal files will be opened, excluding those which
+ are stored on persistent storage.
+ <constant>SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM</constant> will cause journal files of
+ system services and the kernel (in opposition to user session
+ processes) to be opened.
+ <constant>SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER</constant> will cause journal
+ files of the current user to be opened. If neither
+ <constant>SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM</constant> nor
+ <constant>SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER</constant> are specified, all
+ journal file types will be opened.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_open_directory()</function> is similar to <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but
+ takes an absolute directory path as argument. All journal files in this directory will be opened and interleaved
+ automatically. This call also takes a flags argument. The flags parameters accepted by this call are
+ <constant>SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOT</constant>, <constant>SD_JOURNAL_SYSTEM</constant>, and
+ <constant>SD_JOURNAL_CURRENT_USER</constant>. If <constant>SD_JOURNAL_OS_ROOT</constant> is specified, journal
+ files are searched for below the usual <filename>/var/log/journal</filename> and
+ <filename>/run/log/journal</filename> relative to the specified path, instead of directly beneath it.
+ The other two flags limit which files are opened, the same as for <function>sd_journal_open()</function>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_open_directory_fd()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_journal_open_directory()</function>, but takes a file descriptor referencing a directory in the file
+ system instead of an absolute file system path.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_open_files()</function> is similar to <function>sd_journal_open()</function> but takes a
+ <constant>NULL</constant>-terminated list of file paths to open. All files will be opened and interleaved
+ automatically. This call also takes a flags argument, but it must be passed as 0 as no flags are currently
+ understood for this call. Please note that in the case of a live journal, this function is only useful for
+ debugging, because individual journal files can be rotated at any moment, and the opening of specific files is
+ inherently racy.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_open_files_fd()</function> is similar to <function>sd_journal_open_files()</function>
+ but takes an array of open file descriptors that must reference journal files, instead of an array of file system
+ paths. Pass the array of file descriptors as second argument, and the number of array entries in the third. The
+ flags parameter must be passed as 0.</para>
+
+ <para><varname>sd_journal</varname> objects cannot be used in the
+ child after a fork. Functions which take a journal object as an
+ argument (<function>sd_journal_next()</function> and others) will
+ return <constant>-ECHILD</constant> after a fork.
+ </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_close()</function> will close the
+ journal context allocated with
+ <function>sd_journal_open()</function> or
+ <function>sd_journal_open_directory()</function> and free its
+ resources.</para>

+ <para>When opening the journal only journal files accessible to

+
+ <para>A journal context object returned by
+ <function>sd_journal_open()</function> references a specific

+ <emphasis>cursor</emphasis> strings, as accessible via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_get_cursor</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_print()</function> may be used to submit simple, plain text log entries to the system
+ journal. The first argument is a priority value. This is followed by a format string and its parameters, similar to
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>printf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ The priority value is one of <constant>LOG_EMERG</constant>, <constant>LOG_ALERT</constant>,
+ <constant>LOG_CRIT</constant>, <constant>LOG_ERR</constant>, <constant>LOG_WARNING</constant>,
+ <constant>LOG_NOTICE</constant>, <constant>LOG_INFO</constant>, <constant>LOG_DEBUG</constant>, as defined in
+ <filename>syslog.h</filename>, see <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details. It is
+ recommended to use this call to submit log messages in the application locale or system locale and in UTF-8 format,
+ but no such restrictions are enforced. Note that log messages written using this function are generally not
+ expected to end in a new-line character. However, as all trailing whitespace (including spaces, new-lines,
+ tabulators and carriage returns) are automatically stripped from the logged string, it is acceptable to specify one
+ (or more). Empty lines (after trailing whitespace removal) are suppressed. On non-empty lines, leading whitespace
+ (as well as inner whitespace) is left unmodified. </para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_printv()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_journal_print()</function> but takes a variable
+ argument list encapsulated in an object of type
+ <varname>va_list</varname> (see
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>stdarg</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information) instead of the format string. It is
+ otherwise equivalent in behavior.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_send()</function> may be used to submit structured log entries to the system journal. It
+ takes a series of format strings, each immediately followed by their associated parameters, terminated by
+ <constant>NULL</constant>. The strings passed should be of the format <literal>VARIABLE=value</literal>. The
+ variable name must be in uppercase and consist only of characters, numbers and underscores, and may not begin with
+ an underscore. (All assignments that do not follow this syntax will be ignored.) The value can be of any size and
+ format. It is highly recommended to submit text strings formatted in the UTF-8 character encoding only, and submit
+ binary fields only when formatting in UTF-8 strings is not sensible. A number of well-known fields are defined, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ details, but additional application defined fields may be used. A variable may be assigned more than one value per
+ entry. If this function is used, trailing whitespace is automatically removed from each formatted field.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_sendv()</function> is similar to <function>sd_journal_send()</function> but takes an
+ array of <varname>struct iovec</varname> (as defined in <filename>uio.h</filename>, see <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>readv</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details)
+ instead of the format string. Each structure should reference one field of the entry to submit. The second argument
+ specifies the number of structures in the array. <function>sd_journal_sendv()</function> is particularly useful to
+ submit binary objects to the journal where that is necessary. Note that this function will not strip trailing
+ whitespace of the passed fields, but passes the specified data along unmodified. This is different from both
+ <function>sd_journal_print()</function> and <function>sd_journal_send()</function> described above, which are based
+ on format strings, and do strip trailing whitespace.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_perror()</function> is a similar to
+ <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>perror</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and writes a message to the journal that consists of the passed
+ string, suffixed with ": " and a human-readable representation of
+ the current error code stored in
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ If the message string is passed as <constant>NULL</constant> or
+ empty string, only the error string representation will be
+ written, prefixed with nothing. An additional journal field ERRNO=
+ is included in the entry containing the numeric error code
+ formatted as decimal string. The log priority used is
+ <constant>LOG_ERR</constant> (3).</para>
+
+ <para>Note that <function>sd_journal_send()</function> is a
+ wrapper around <function>sd_journal_sendv()</function> to make it
+ easier to use when only text strings shall be submitted. Also, the
+ following two calls are mostly equivalent:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>sd_journal_print(LOG_INFO, "Hello World, this is PID %lu!", (unsigned long) getpid());
+
+sd_journal_send("MESSAGE=Hello World, this is PID %lu!", (unsigned long) getpid(),
+ "PRIORITY=%i", LOG_INFO,
+ NULL);</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Note that these calls implicitly add fields for the source
+ file, function name and code line where invoked. This is
+ implemented with macros. If this is not desired, it can be turned
+ off by defining SD_JOURNAL_SUPPRESS_LOCATION before including
+ <filename>sd-journal.h</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para><citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and <function>sd_journal_print()</function> may
+ largely be used interchangeably
+ functionality-wise. However, note that log messages
+ logged via the former take a different path to the
+ journal server than the later, and hence global
+ chronological ordering between the two streams cannot
+ be guaranteed. Using
+ <function>sd_journal_print()</function> has the
+ benefit of logging source code line, filenames, and
+ functions as metadata along all entries, and
+ guaranteeing chronological ordering with structured
+ log entries that are generated via
+ <function>sd_journal_send()</function>. Using
+ <function>syslog()</function> has the benefit of being
+ more portable.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>The five calls return 0 on success or a negative errno-style error code. The <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>errno</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> variable itself is
+ not altered.</para>
+
+ <para>If
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-journald</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>

+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function> queries the
+ journal for all unique values the specified field can take. It
+ takes two arguments: the journal to query and the field name to
+ look for. Well-known field names are listed on
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ Field names must be specified without a trailing '='. After this
+ function has been executed successfully the field values may be
+ queried using <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>.
+ Invoking this call a second time will change the field name being
+ queried and reset the enumeration index to the first field value
+ that matches.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function> may be
+ used to iterate through all data fields which match the previously
+ selected field name as set with
+ <function>sd_journal_query_unique()</function>. On each invocation
+ the next field data matching the field name is returned. The order
+ of the returned data fields is not defined. It takes three
+ arguments: the journal context object, plus a pair of pointers to
+ pointer/size variables where the data object and its size shall be
+ stored in. The returned data is in a read-only memory map and is
+ only valid until the next invocation of
+ <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>. Note that the
+ data returned will be prefixed with the field name and '='. Note
+ that this call is subject to the data field size threshold as
+ controlled by
+ <function>sd_journal_set_data_threshold()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_restart_unique()</function> resets the
+ data enumeration index to the beginning of the list. The next
+ invocation of <function>sd_journal_enumerate_unique()</function>
+ will return the first field data matching the field name
+ again.</para>

+
+ <para><function>sd_journal_stream_fd()</function> may be used to
+ create a log stream file descriptor. Log messages written to this

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_listen_fds()</function> may be invoked by a
+ daemon to check for file descriptors passed by the service manager as
+ part of the socket-based activation logic. It returns the number
+ of received file descriptors. If no file descriptors have been
+ received, zero is returned. The first file descriptor may be found
+ at file descriptor number 3
+ (i.e. <constant>SD_LISTEN_FDS_START</constant>), the remaining
+ descriptors follow at 4, 5, 6, …, if any.</para>
+
+ <para>If a daemon receives more than one file descriptor, they
+ will be passed in the same order as configured in the systemd
+ socket unit file (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details). Nonetheless, it is recommended to verify the correct
+ socket types before using them. To simplify this checking, the
+ functions
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_fifo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_socket_inet</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_is_socket_unix</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ are provided. In order to maximize flexibility, it is recommended
+ to make these checks as loose as possible without allowing
+ incorrect setups. i.e. often, the actual port number a socket is
+ bound to matters little for the service to work, hence it should
+ not be verified. On the other hand, whether a socket is a datagram
+ or stream socket matters a lot for the most common program logics
+ and should be checked.</para>
+
+ <para>This function call will set the FD_CLOEXEC flag for all
+ passed file descriptors to avoid further inheritance to children
+ of the calling process.</para>
+
+ <para>If multiple socket units activate the same service, the order
+ of the file descriptors passed to its main process is undefined.
+ If additional file descriptors have been passed to the service
+ manager using
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_pid_notify_with_fds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
+ <literal>FDSTORE=1</literal> messages, these file descriptors are
+ passed last, in arbitrary order, and with duplicates
+ removed.</para>
+
+ <para>If the <parameter>unset_environment</parameter> parameter is
+ non-zero, <function>sd_listen_fds()</function> will unset the
+ <varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname>, <varname>$LISTEN_PID</varname> and
+ <varname>$LISTEN_FDNAMES</varname> environment variables before
+ returning (regardless of whether the function call itself
+ succeeded or not). Further calls to
+ <function>sd_listen_fds()</function> will then return zero, but the
+ variables are no longer inherited by child processes.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_listen_fds_with_names()</function> is like
+ <function>sd_listen_fds()</function>, but optionally also returns
+ an array of strings with identification names for the passed file
+ descriptors, if that is available and the
+ <parameter>names</parameter> parameter is non-NULL. This
+ information is read from the <varname>$LISTEN_FDNAMES</varname>
+ variable, which may contain a colon-separated list of names. For
+ socket-activated services, these names may be configured with the
+ <varname>FileDescriptorName=</varname> setting in socket unit
+ files, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. For file descriptors pushed into the file descriptor
+ store (see above), the name is set via the
+ <varname>FDNAME=</varname> field transmitted via
+ <function>sd_pid_notify_with_fds()</function>. The primary usecase
+ for these names are services which accept a variety of file
+ descriptors which are not recognizable with functions like
+ <function>sd_is_socket()</function> alone, and thus require
+ identification via a name. It is recommended to rely on named file
+ descriptors only if identification via
+ <function>sd_is_socket()</function> and related calls is not
+ sufficient. Note that the names used are not unique in any
+ way. The returned array of strings has as many entries as file
+ descriptors have been received, plus a final NULL pointer
+ terminating the array. The caller needs to free the array itself
+ and each of its elements with libc's <function>free()</function>
+ call after use. If the <parameter>names</parameter> parameter is
+ NULL, the call is entirely equivalent to
+ <function>sd_listen_fds()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para>Under specific conditions, the following automatic file
+ descriptor names are returned:

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_login_monitor_new()</function> may be used to
+ monitor login sessions, users, seats, and virtual
+ machines/containers. Via a monitor object a file descriptor can be
+ integrated into an application defined event loop which is woken
+ up each time a user logs in, logs out or a seat is added or
+ removed, or a session, user, seat or virtual machine/container
+ changes state otherwise. The first parameter takes a string which
+ can be <literal>seat</literal> (to get only notifications about
+ seats being added, removed or changed), <literal>session</literal>
+ (to get only notifications about sessions being created or removed
+ or changed), <literal>uid</literal> (to get only notifications
+ when a user changes state in respect to logins) or
+ <literal>machine</literal> (to get only notifications when a
+ virtual machine or container is started or stopped). If
+ notifications shall be generated in all these conditions,
+ <constant>NULL</constant> may be passed. Note that in the future
+ additional categories may be defined. The second parameter returns
+ a monitor object and needs to be freed with the
+ <function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> call after
+ use.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> may be used to
+ destroy a monitor object. Note that this will invalidate any file
+ descriptor returned by
+ <function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_login_monitor_unrefp()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> but takes a pointer
+ to a pointer to an <type>sd_login_monitor</type> object. This call
+ is useful in conjunction with GCC's and LLVM's <ulink
+ url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up
+ Variable Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as
+ inline function. Use a declaration like the following, in order to
+ allocate a login monitor object that is freed automatically as the
+ code block is left:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>{
+ __attribute__((cleanup(sd_login_monitor_unrefp)) sd_login_monitor *m = NULL;
+ int r;
+ …
+ r = sd_login_monitor_default(&amp;m);
+ if (r &lt; 0)
+ fprintf(stderr, "Failed to allocate login monitor object: %s\n", strerror(-r));
+ …
+}</programlisting>
+
+ <para><function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function> may be used to
+ reset the wakeup state of the monitor object. Whenever an event
+ causes the monitor to wake up the event loop via the file
+ descriptor this function needs to be called to reset the wake-up
+ state. If this call is not invoked, the file descriptor will
+ immediately wake up the event loop again.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_login_monitor_unref()</function> and
+ <function>sd_login_monitor_unrefp()</function> execute no
+ operation if the passed in monitor object is
+ <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_fd()</function> may be used
+ to retrieve the file descriptor of the monitor object that may be
+ integrated in an application defined event loop, based around
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>poll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ or a similar interface. The application should include the
+ returned file descriptor as wake-up source for the events mask
+ returned by <function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function>. It
+ should pass a timeout value as returned by
+ <function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function>. Whenever a
+ wake-up is triggered the file descriptor needs to be reset via
+ <function>sd_login_monitor_flush()</function>. An application
+ needs to reread the login state with a function like
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_get_seats</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ or similar to determine what changed.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_events()</function> will
+ return the <function>poll()</function> mask to wait for. This
+ function will return a combination of <constant>POLLIN</constant>,
+ <constant>POLLOUT</constant> and similar to fill into the
+ <literal>.events</literal> field of <varname>struct
+ pollfd</varname>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_login_monitor_get_timeout()</function> will
+ return a timeout value for usage in <function>poll()</function>.
+ This returns a value in microseconds since the epoch of
+ <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant> for timing out
+ <function>poll()</function> in <varname>timeout_usec</varname>.
+ See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clock_gettime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details about <constant>CLOCK_MONOTONIC</constant>. If there
+ is no timeout to wait for this will fill in <constant>(uint64_t)
+ -1</constant> instead. Note that <function>poll()</function> takes
+ a relative timeout in milliseconds rather than an absolute timeout
+ in microseconds. To convert the absolute 'µs' timeout into
+ relative 'ms', use code like the following:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>uint64_t t;
+int msec;
+sd_login_monitor_get_timeout(m, &amp;t);
+if (t == (uint64_t) -1)

+ msec = t > n ? (int) ((t - n + 999) / 1000) : 0;
+}</programlisting>
+
+ <para>The code above does not do any error checking for brevity's
+ sake. The calculated <varname>msec</varname> integer can be passed

+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_listen_fds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>. This is
+ useful for implementing services that can restart after an explicit request or a crash without losing
+ state. Any open sockets and other file descriptors which should not be closed during the restart may be stored
+ this way. Application state can either be serialized to a file in <filename>/run</filename>, or better, stored
+ in a <citerefentry><refentrytitle>memfd_create</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry> memory
+ file descriptor. Note that the service manager will accept messages for a service only if its

+ <constant>EPOLLHUP</constant> or <constant>EPOLLERR</constant> event seen on them will result in their
+ automatic removal from the store. Multiple arrays of file descriptors may be sent in separate messages, in
+ which case the arrays are combined. Note that the service manager removes duplicate (pointing to the same
+ object) file descriptors before passing them to the service. Use <function>sd_pid_notify_with_fds()</function>
+ to send messages with <literal>FDSTORE=1</literal>, see below.</para></listitem>

+ descriptors submitted without this field set, will implicitly get the name <literal>stored</literal>
+ assigned. Note that, if multiple file descriptors are submitted at once, the specified name will be assigned to
+ all of them. In order to assign different names to submitted file descriptors, submit them in separate
+ invocations of <function>sd_pid_notify_with_fds()</function>. The name may consist of arbitrary ASCII
+ characters except control characters or <literal>:</literal>. It may not be longer than 255 characters. If a
+ submitted name does not follow these restrictions, it is ignored.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ </variablelist>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to prefix variable names that are not
+ listed above with <varname>X_</varname> to avoid namespace
+ clashes.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that systemd will accept status data sent from a
+ service only if the <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> option is
+ correctly set in the service definition file. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that <function>sd_notify()</function> notifications may be attributed to units correctly only if either
+ the sending process is still around at the time PID 1 processes the message, or if the sending process is
+ explicitly runtime-tracked by the service manager. The latter is the case if the service manager originally forked
+ off the process, i.e. on all processes that match <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname><option>main</option> or
+ <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname><option>exec</option>. Conversely, if an auxiliary process of the unit sends an
+ <function>sd_notify()</function> message and immediately exits, the service manager might not be able to properly
+ attribute the message to the unit, and thus will ignore it, even if
+ <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname><option>all</option> is set for it.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_notifyf()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_notify()</function> but takes a
+ <function>printf()</function>-like format string plus
+ arguments.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_pid_notify()</function> and
+ <function>sd_pid_notifyf()</function> are similar to
+ <function>sd_notify()</function> and
+ <function>sd_notifyf()</function> but take a process ID (PID) to
+ use as originating PID for the message as first argument. This is
+ useful to send notification messages on behalf of other processes,
+ provided the appropriate privileges are available. If the PID
+ argument is specified as 0, the process ID of the calling process
+ is used, in which case the calls are fully equivalent to
+ <function>sd_notify()</function> and
+ <function>sd_notifyf()</function>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_pid_notify_with_fds()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_pid_notify()</function> but takes an additional array
+ of file descriptors. These file descriptors are sent along the
+ notification message to the service manager. This is particularly
+ useful for sending <literal>FDSTORE=1</literal> messages, as
+ described above. The additional arguments are a pointer to the
+ file descriptor array plus the number of file descriptors in the
+ array. If the number of file descriptors is passed as 0, the call
+ is fully equivalent to <function>sd_pid_notify()</function>, i.e.
+ no file descriptors are passed. Note that sending file descriptors
+ to the service manager on messages that do not expect them (i.e.
+ without <literal>FDSTORE=1</literal>) they are immediately closed
+ on reception.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On failure, these calls return a negative errno-style error code. If <varname>$NOTIFY_SOCKET</varname> was
+ not set and hence no status message could be sent, 0 is returned. If the status was sent, these functions return a
+ positive value. In order to support both service managers that implement this scheme and those which do not, it is
+ generally recommended to ignore the return value of this call. Note that the return value simply indicates whether
+ the notification message was enqueued properly, it does not reflect whether the message could be processed
+ successfully. Specifically, no error is returned when a file descriptor is attempted to be stored using
+ <varname>FDSTORE=1</varname> but the service is not actually configured to permit storing of file descriptors (see
+ above).</para>

+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Notes</title>
+
+ <xi:include href="libsystemd-pkgconfig.xml" xpointer="pkgconfig-text"/>
+
+ <para>These functions send a single datagram with the
+ state string as payload to the <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> socket
+ referenced in the <varname>$NOTIFY_SOCKET</varname> environment
+ variable. If the first character of
+ <varname>$NOTIFY_SOCKET</varname> is <literal>@</literal>, the
+ string is understood as Linux abstract namespace socket. The
+ datagram is accompanied by the process credentials of the sending
+ service, using SCM_CREDENTIALS.</para>

+
+ <para><function>sd_pid_get_owner_uid()</function> may be used to
+ determine the Unix UID (user identifier) which owns the login
+ session or systemd user unit of a process identified by the
+ specified PID. For processes which are not part of a login session
+ and not managed by a user manager, this function will fail with
+ <constant>-ENODATA</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_pid_get_session()</function> may be used to
+ determine the login session identifier of a process identified by
+ the specified process identifier. The session identifier is a
+ short string, suitable for usage in file system paths. Please
+ note the login session may be limited to a stub process or two.
+ User processes may instead be started from their systemd user
+ manager, e.g. GUI applications started using DBus activation, as
+ well as service processes which are shared between multiple logins
+ of the same user. For processes which are not part of a login
+ session, this function will fail with <constant>-ENODATA</constant>.
+ The returned string needs to be freed with the libc <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_pid_get_user_unit()</function> may be used to

+ identifier of a process identified by the specified PID. The
+ unit name is a short string, suitable for usage in file system
+ paths. For processes which are not managed by a user manager, this
+ function will fail with <constant>-ENODATA</constant>. The

+
+ <para><function>sd_pid_get_unit()</function> may be used to
+ determine the systemd system unit (i.e. system service or scope
+ unit) identifier of a process identified by the specified PID. The
+ unit name is a short string, suitable for usage in file system
+ paths. Note that not all processes are part of a system
+ unit/service. For processes not being part of a systemd system
+ unit, this function will fail with <constant>-ENODATA</constant>.
+ (More specifically, this call will not work for kernel threads.)
+ The returned string needs to be freed with the libc <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_pid_get_machine_name()</function> may be used
+ to determine the name of the VM or container is a member of. The
+ machine name is a short string, suitable for usage in file system
+ paths. The returned string needs to be freed with the libc
+ <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use. For processes not part of a VM or container, this
+ function fails with <constant>-ENODATA</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_pid_get_slice()</function> may be used to
+ determine the slice unit the process is a member of. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.slice</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details about slices. The returned string needs to be freed
+ with the libc
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use.</para>
+
+ <para>Similarly, <function>sd_pid_get_user_slice()</function>
+ returns the user slice (as managed by the user's systemd instance)
+ of a process.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_pid_get_cgroup()</function> returns the control
+ group path of the specified process, relative to the root of the
+ hierarchy. Returns the path without trailing slash, except for
+ processes located in the root control group, where "/" is
+ returned. To find the actual control group path in the file system,
+ the returned path needs to be prefixed with
+ <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/</filename> (if the unified control group
+ setup is used), or
+ <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/<replaceable>HIERARCHY</replaceable>/</filename>
+ (if the legacy multi-hierarchy control group setup is used).</para>
+
+ <para>If the <varname>pid</varname> parameter of any of these

+
+ <para><function>sd_seat_get_active()</function> may be used to
+ determine which session is currently active on a seat, if there is
+ any. Returns the session identifier and the user identifier of the
+ Unix user the session is belonging to. Either the session or the
+ user identifier parameter can be passed <constant>NULL</constant>,
+ in case only one of the parameters shall be queried. The returned
+ string needs to be freed with the libc
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_seat_get_sessions()</function> may be used to
+ determine all sessions on the specified seat. Returns two arrays,
+ one (<constant>NULL</constant> terminated) with the session
+ identifiers of the sessions and one with the user identifiers of
+ the Unix users the sessions belong to. An additional parameter may
+ be used to return the number of entries in the latter array. This
+ value is the same the return value, if the latter is nonnegative.
+ The two arrays and the last parameter may be passed as
+ <constant>NULL</constant> in case these values need not to be
+ determined. The arrays and the strings referenced by them need to
+ be freed with the libc
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>free</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call after use. Note that instead of an empty array
+ <constant>NULL</constant> may be returned and should be considered
+ equivalent to an empty array.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_seat_can_multi_session()</function> may be used
+ to determine whether a specific seat is capable of multi-session,
+ i.e. allows multiple login sessions in parallel (with only one
+ being active at a time).</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_seat_can_tty()</function> may be used to
+ determine whether a specific seat provides TTY functionality, i.e.
+ is useful as a text console.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_seat_can_graphical()</function> may be used to
+ determine whether a specific seat provides graphics functionality,
+ i.e. is useful as a graphics display.</para>
+
+ <para>If the <varname>seat</varname> parameter of any of these

+ <function>sd_seat_can_tty</function> and

+
+ <para><function>sd_uid_is_on_seat()</function> may be used to
+ determine whether a specific user is logged in or active on a
+ specific seat. Accepts a Unix user identifier and a seat
+ identifier string as parameters. The
+ <parameter>require_active</parameter> parameter is a boolean
+ value. If non-zero (true), this function will test if the user is
+ active (i.e. has a session that is in the foreground and accepting
+ user input) on the specified seat, otherwise (false) only if the
+ user is logged in (and possibly inactive) on the specified
+ seat.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_uid_get_sessions()</function> may be used to

+ the returned list shall consist of only those sessions where the
+ user is currently active (&gt; 0), where the user is currently
+ online but possibly inactive (= 0), or logged in at all but

+ considered equivalent to an empty array.</para>
+
+ <para>Similarly, <function>sd_uid_get_seats()</function> may be
+ used to determine the list of seats on which the user currently

+ referring to the specified number of minutes m from now.
+ <literal>now</literal> is an alias for <literal>+0</literal>, i.e.

+ <title>Configuration Format</title>
+
+ <para>The configuration files contain a list of variable
+ assignments, separated by newlines. Empty lines and lines whose
+ first non-whitespace character is <literal>#</literal> or
+ <literal>;</literal> are ignored.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that either <literal>/</literal> or
+ <literal>.</literal> may be used as separators within sysctl
+ variable names. If the first separator is a slash, remaining
+ slashes and dots are left intact. If the first separator is a dot,
+ dots and slashes are interchanged.
+ <literal>kernel.domainname=foo</literal> and
+ <literal>kernel/domainname=foo</literal> are equivalent and will
+ cause <literal>foo</literal> to be written to
+ <filename>/proc/sys/kernel/domainname</filename>. Either

+
+ <para>The settings configured with <filename>sysctl.d</filename>
+ files will be applied early on boot. The network
+ interface-specific options will also be applied individually for
+ each network interface as it shows up in the system. (More

+
+ <para>Many sysctl parameters only become available when certain
+ kernel modules are loaded. Modules are usually loaded on demand,

+ This means that
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-sysctl.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ which runs during early boot will not configure such parameters if
+ they become available after it has run. To set such parameters, it
+ is recommended to add an
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ rule to set those parameters when they become available.
+ Alternatively, a slightly simpler and less efficient option is to
+ add the module to
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>modules-load.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ causing it to be loaded statically before sysctl settings are

+ <para>Enable one or more units or unit instances. This will create a set of symlinks, as encoded in the
+ <literal>[Install]</literal> sections of the indicated unit files. After the symlinks have been created,
+ the system manager configuration is reloaded (in a way equivalent to <command>daemon-reload</command>), in

+ <emphasis>not</emphasis> have the effect of also starting any of the units being enabled. If this is

+ with appropriate arguments later. Note that in case of unit instance enablement (i.e. enablement of units of
+ the form <filename>foo@bar.service</filename>), symlinks named the same as instances are created in the
+ unit configuration directory, however they point to the single template unit file they are instantiated
+ from.</para>
+
+ <para>This command expects either valid unit names (in which case various unit file directories are
+ automatically searched for unit files with appropriate names), or absolute paths to unit files (in which
+ case these files are read directly). If a specified unit file is located outside of the usual unit file
+ directories, an additional symlink is created, linking it into the unit configuration path, thus ensuring
+ it is found when requested by commands such as <command>start</command>. The file system where the linked
+ unit files are located must be accessible when systemd is started (e.g. anything underneath

+ <title>Parameter Syntax</title>
+
+ <para>Unit commands listed above take either a single unit name (designated as <replaceable>UNIT</replaceable>),
+ or multiple unit specifications (designated as <replaceable>PATTERN</replaceable>…). In the first case, the
+ unit name with or without a suffix must be given. If the suffix is not specified (unit name is "abbreviated"),
+ systemctl will append a suitable suffix, <literal>.service</literal> by default, and a type-specific suffix in
+ case of commands which operate only on specific unit types. For example,
+ <programlisting># systemctl start sshd</programlisting> and
+ <programlisting># systemctl start sshd.service</programlisting>
+ are equivalent, as are
+ <programlisting># systemctl isolate default</programlisting>
+ and
+ <programlisting># systemctl isolate default.target</programlisting>
+ Note that (absolute) paths to device nodes are automatically converted to device unit names, and other (absolute)
+ paths to mount unit names.
+ <programlisting># systemctl status /dev/sda
+# systemctl status /home</programlisting>
+ are equivalent to:
+ <programlisting># systemctl status dev-sda.device
+# systemctl status home.mount</programlisting>
+ In the second case, shell-style globs will be matched against the primary names of all units currently in memory;
+ literal unit names, with or without a suffix, will be treated as in the first case. This means that literal unit
+ names always refer to exactly one unit, but globs may match zero units and this is not considered an
+ error.</para>
+
+ <para>Glob patterns use
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fnmatch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ so normal shell-style globbing rules are used, and
+ <literal>*</literal>, <literal>?</literal>,
+ <literal>[]</literal> may be used. See
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>glob</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more details. The patterns are matched against the primary names of
+ units currently in memory, and patterns which do not match anything
+ are silently skipped. For example:
+ <programlisting># systemctl stop sshd@*.service</programlisting>
+ will stop all <filename>sshd@.service</filename> instances. Note that alias names of units, and units that aren't
+ in memory are not considered for glob expansion.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>For unit file commands, the specified <replaceable>UNIT</replaceable> should be the name of the unit file

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze</command> may be used to determine
+ system boot-up performance statistics and retrieve other state and
+ tracing information from the system and service manager, and to
+ verify the correctness of unit files. It is also used to access
+ special functions useful for advanced system manager debugging.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze time</command> prints the time
+ spent in the kernel before userspace has been reached, the time
+ spent in the initial RAM disk (initrd) before normal system
+ userspace has been reached, and the time normal system userspace
+ took to initialize. Note that these measurements simply measure
+ the time passed up to the point where all system services have
+ been spawned, but not necessarily until they fully finished
+ initialization or the disk is idle.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze blame</command> prints a list of
+ all running units, ordered by the time they took to initialize.
+ This information may be used to optimize boot-up times. Note that
+ the output might be misleading as the initialization of one
+ service might be slow simply because it waits for the
+ initialization of another service to complete.
+ Also note: <command>systemd-analyze blame</command> doesn't display
+ results for services with <varname>Type=simple</varname>,
+ because systemd considers such services to be started immediately,
+ hence no measurement of the initialization delays can be done.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze critical-chain
+ [<replaceable>UNIT…</replaceable>]</command> prints a tree of
+ the time-critical chain of units (for each of the specified
+ <replaceable>UNIT</replaceable>s or for the default target
+ otherwise). The time after the unit is active or started is
+ printed after the "@" character. The time the unit takes to start
+ is printed after the "+" character. Note that the output might be
+ misleading as the initialization of one service might depend on
+ socket activation and because of the parallel execution of
+ units.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze plot</command> prints an SVG
+ graphic detailing which system services have been started at what
+ time, highlighting the time they spent on initialization.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze dot</command> generates textual
+ dependency graph description in dot format for further processing
+ with the GraphViz
+ <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>dot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ tool. Use a command line like <command>systemd-analyze dot | dot
+ -Tsvg > systemd.svg</command> to generate a graphical dependency
+ tree. Unless <option>--order</option> or
+ <option>--require</option> is passed, the generated graph will
+ show both ordering and requirement dependencies. Optional pattern
+ globbing style specifications (e.g. <filename>*.target</filename>)
+ may be given at the end. A unit dependency is included in the
+ graph if any of these patterns match either the origin or
+ destination node.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze dump</command> outputs a (usually
+ very long) human-readable serialization of the complete server
+ state. Its format is subject to change without notice and should
+ not be parsed by applications.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze cat-config</command> is similar
+ to <command>systemctl cat</command>, but operates on config files.
+ It will copy the contents of a config file and any drop-ins to standard
+ output, using the usual systemd set of directories and rules for
+ precedence. Each argument must be either an absolute path including
+ the prefix (such as <filename>/etc/systemd/logind.conf</filename> or
+ <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf</filename>), or a name
+ relative to the prefix (such as <filename>systemd/logind.conf</filename>).
+ </para>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Showing logind configuration</title>
+ <programlisting>$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/logind.conf
+# /etc/systemd/logind.conf
+...
+[Login]
+NAutoVTs=8
+...
+
+# /usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf.d/20-test.conf
+... some override from another package
+
+# /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/50-override.conf
+... some administrator override
+ </programlisting>
+ </example>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze unit-paths</command> outputs a list of all
+ directories from which unit files, <filename>.d</filename> overrides, and
+ <filename>.wants</filename>, <filename>.requires</filename> symlinks may be
+ loaded. Combine with <option>--user</option> to retrieve the list for the user
+ manager instance, and <option>--global</option> for the global configuration of
+ user manager instances. Note that this verb prints the list that is compiled into
+ <command>systemd-analyze</command> itself, and does not comunicate with the
+ running manager. Use
+ <programlisting>systemctl [--user] [--global] show -p UnitPath --value</programlisting>
+ to retrieve the actual list that the manager uses, with any empty directories
+ omitted.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze log-level</command>
+ prints the current log level of the <command>systemd</command> daemon.
+ If an optional argument <replaceable>LEVEL</replaceable> is provided, then the command changes the current log
+ level of the <command>systemd</command> daemon to <replaceable>LEVEL</replaceable> (accepts the same values as
+ <option>--log-level=</option> described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze log-target</command>
+ prints the current log target of the <command>systemd</command> daemon.
+ If an optional argument <replaceable>TARGET</replaceable> is provided, then the command changes the current log
+ target of the <command>systemd</command> daemon to <replaceable>TARGET</replaceable> (accepts the same values as
+ <option>--log-target=</option>, described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze syscall-filter <optional><replaceable>SET</replaceable>…</optional></command>
+ will list system calls contained in the specified system call set <replaceable>SET</replaceable>,
+ or all known sets if no sets are specified. Argument <replaceable>SET</replaceable> must include
+ the <literal>@</literal> prefix.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze verify</command> will load unit files and print
+ warnings if any errors are detected. Files specified on the command line will be
+ loaded, but also any other units referenced by them. The full unit search path is
+ formed by combining the directories for all command line arguments, and the usual unit
+ load paths (variable <varname>$SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH</varname> is supported, and may be
+ used to replace or augment the compiled in set of unit load paths; see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+ All units files present in the directories containing the command line arguments will
+ be used in preference to the other paths.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze calendar</command> will parse and normalize repetitive calendar time events, and
+ will calculate when they will elapse next. This takes the same input as the <varname>OnCalendar=</varname> setting
+ in <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.timer</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>, following the
+ syntax described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze service-watchdogs</command>
+ prints the current state of service runtime watchdogs of the <command>systemd</command> daemon.
+ If an optional boolean argument is provided, then globally enables or disables the service
+ runtime watchdogs (<option>WatchdogSec=</option>) and emergency actions (e.g.
+ <option>OnFailure=</option> or <option>StartLimitAction=</option>); see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ The hardware watchdog is not affected by this setting.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze timespan</command> parses a time span and outputs the equivalent value in microseconds, and as a reformatted timespan.
+ The time span should adhere to the same syntax documented in <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ Values without associated magnitudes are parsed as seconds.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-analyze security</command> analyzes the security and sandboxing settings of one or more
+ specified service units. If at least one unit name is specified the security settings of the specified service
+ units are inspected and a detailed analysis is shown. If no unit name is specified, all currently loaded,
+ long-running service units are inspected and a terse table with results shown. The command checks for various
+ security-related service settings, assigning each a numeric "exposure level" value, depending on how important a
+ setting is. It then calculates an overall exposure level for the whole unit, which is an estimation in the range
+ 0.0…10.0 indicating how exposed a service is security-wise. High exposure levels indicate very little applied
+ sandboxing. Low exposure levels indicate tight sandboxing and strongest security restrictions. Note that this only
+ analyzes the per-service security features systemd itself implements. This means that any additional security
+ mechanisms applied by the service code itself are not accounted for. The exposure level determined this way should
+ not be misunderstood: a high exposure level neither means that there is no effective sandboxing applied by the
+ service code itself, nor that the service is actually vulnerable to remote or local attacks. High exposure levels
+ do indicate however that most likely the service might benefit from additional settings applied to them. Please
+ note that many of the security and sandboxing settings individually can be circumvented — unless combined with
+ others. For example, if a service retains the privilege to establish or undo mount points many of the sandboxing
+ options can be undone by the service code itself. Due to that is essential that each service uses the most
+ comprehensive and strict sandboxing and security settings possible. The tool will take into account some of these
+ combinations and relationships between the settings, but not all. Also note that the security and sandboxing
+ settings analyzed here only apply to the operations executed by the service code itself. If a service has access to
+ an IPC system (such as D-Bus) it might request operations from other services that are not subject to the same
+ restrictions. Any comprehensive security and sandboxing analysis is hence incomplete if the IPC access policy is
+ not validated too.</para>

+
+ <para><command>systemd-ask-password</command> may be used to query
+ a system password or passphrase from the user, using a question
+ message specified on the command line. When run from a TTY it will
+ query a password on the TTY and print it to standard output. When
+ run with no TTY or with <option>--no-tty</option> it will use the
+ system-wide query mechanism, which allows active users to respond via
+ several agents, listed below.</para>
+
+ <para>The purpose of this tool is to query system-wide passwords
+ — that is passwords not attached to a specific user account.
+ Examples include: unlocking encrypted hard disks when they are
+ plugged in or at boot, entering an SSL certificate passphrase for
+ web and VPN servers.</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-boot-check-no-failures.service</filename> is a system service that checks whether the
+ system booted up successfully. This service implements a very minimal test only: whether there are any failed units on
+ the system. This service is disabled by default. When enabled, it is ordered before
+ <filename>boot-complete.target</filename>, thus ensuring the target cannot be reached when the system booted up
+ with failed services.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that due the simple nature of this check this service is probably not suitable for deployment in most
+ scenarios. It is primarily useful only as example for developing more fine-grained checks to order before
+ <filename>boot-complete.target</filename>.</para>

+ <title>Boot Counting</title>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-boot</command> implements a simple boot counting mechanism on top of the <ulink
+ url="https://systemd.io/BOOT_LOADER_SPECIFICATION">Boot Loader Specification</ulink>, for automatic and unattended
+ fallback to older kernel versions/boot loader entries when a specific entry continously fails. Any boot loader
+ entry file and unified kernel image file that contains a <literal>+</literal> followed by one or two numbers (if
+ two they need to be separated by a <literal>-</literal>), before the <filename>.conf</filename> or
+ <filename>.efi</filename> suffix is subject to boot counting: the first of the two numbers ('tries left') is
+ decreased by one on every boot attempt, the second of the two numbers ('tries done') is increased by one (if 'tries
+ done' is absent it is considered equivalent to 0). Depending on the current value of these two counters the boot
+ entry is considered to be in one of three states:</para>
+
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>If the 'tries left' counter of an entry is greater than zero the entry is considered to be in
+ 'indeterminate' state. This means the entry has not completed booting successfully yet, but also hasn't been
+ determined not to work.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>If the 'tries left' counter of an entry is zero it is considered to be in 'bad' state. This means
+ no further attempts to boot this item will be made (that is, unless all other boot entries are also in 'bad'
+ state), as all attempts to boot this entry have not completed successfully.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>If the 'tries left' and 'tries done' counters of an entry are absent it is considered to be in
+ 'good' state. This means further boot counting for the entry is turned off, as it successfully booted at least
+ once. The
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-bless-boot.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ service moves the currently booted entry from 'indeterminate' into 'good' state when a boot attempt completed
+ successfully.</para></listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>Generally, when new entries are added to the boot loader, they first start out in 'indeterminate' state,
+ i.e. with a 'tries left' counter greater than zero. The boot entry remains in this state until either it managed to
+ complete a full boot successfully at least once (in which case it will be in 'good' state) — or the 'tries left'
+ counter reaches zero (in which case it will be in 'bad' state).</para>
+
+ <para>Example: let's say a boot loader entry file <filename>foo.conf</filename> is set up for 3 boot tries. The
+ installer will hence create it under the name <filename>foo+3.conf</filename>. On first boot, the boot loader will
+ rename it to <filename>foo+2-1.conf</filename>. If that boot does not complete successfully, the boot loader will
+ rename it to <filename>foo+1-2.conf</filename> on the following boot. If that fails too, it will finally be renamed
+ <filename>foo+0-3.conf</filename> by the boot loader on next boot, after which it will be considered 'bad'. If the
+ boot succeeds however the entry file will be renamed to <filename>foo.conf</filename> by the OS, so that it is
+ considered 'good' from then on.</para>
+
+ <para>The boot menu takes the 'tries left' counter into account when sorting the menu entries: entries in 'bad'
+ state are ordered at the end of the list, and entries in 'good' or 'indeterminate' at the beginning. The user can
+ freely choose to boot any entry of the menu, including those already marked 'bad'. If the menu entry to boot is
+ automatically determined, this means that 'good' or 'indeterminate' entries are generally preferred (as the top item of
+ the menu is the one booted by default), and 'bad' entries will only be considered if there are no 'good' or
+ 'indeterminate' entries left.</para>
+
+ <para>The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>kernel-install</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> kernel
+ install framework optionally sets the initial 'tries left' counter to the value specified in
+ <filename>/etc/kernel/tries</filename> when a boot loader entry is first created.</para>

+
+ <para>Resource usage is only accounted for control groups in the

+ groups in the <literal>cpuacct</literal> hierarchy, memory usage
+ only for those in <literal>memory</literal> and disk I/O usage for
+ those in <literal>blkio</literal>. If resource monitoring for
+ these resources is required, it is recommended to add the

+ <title>Description</title>
+ <para><filename>systemd-coredump@.service</filename> is a system service that can acquire core
+ dumps from the kernel and handle them in various ways. The <command>systemd-coredump</command>
+ executable does the actual work. It is invoked twice: once as the handler by the kernel, and the
+ second time in the <filename>systemd-coredump@.service</filename> to actually write the data to
+ the journal.</para>
+
+ <para>When the kernel invokes <command>systemd-coredump</command> to handle a core dump, it runs
+ in privileged mode, and will connect to the socket created by the
+ <filename>systemd-coredump.socket</filename> unit, which in turn will spawn an unprivileged
+ <filename>systemd-coredump@.service</filename> instance to process the core dump. Hence
+ <filename>systemd-coredump.socket</filename> and <filename>systemd-coredump@.service</filename>
+ are helper units which do the actual processing of core dumps and are subject to normal service
+ management.</para>
+
+ <para>Core dumps can be written to the journal or saved as a file. Once saved they can be retrieved
+ for further processing, for example in
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>gdb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>By default, <command>systemd-coredump</command> will log the core dump including a backtrace
+ if possible to the journal and store the core dump itself in an external file in
+ <filename>/var/lib/systemd/coredump</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>The behavior of a specific program upon reception of a signal is governed by a few
+ factors which are described in detail in
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>core</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ In particular, the core dump will only be processed when the related resource limits are sufficient.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>It is also possible to invoke <command>systemd-coredump</command> with
+ <option>--backtrace</option> option. In this case, <command>systemd-coredump</command> expects
+ a journal entry in the journal
+ <ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/export">Journal Export Format</ulink>
+ on standard input. The entry should contain a <varname>MESSAGE=</varname> field and any additional
+ metadata fields the caller deems reasonable. <command>systemd-coredump</command> will append
+ additional metadata fields in the same way it does for core dumps received from the kernel. In
+ this mode, no core dump is stored in the journal.</para>

+ <para>In order to be used by the kernel to handle core dumps,

+ parameter <varname>kernel.core_pattern</varname>. The syntax of this parameter is explained in
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>core</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ systemd installs the file <filename>/usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf</filename> which configures
+ <varname>kernel.core_pattern</varname> accordingly. This file may be masked or overridden to use a different
+ setting following normal
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysctl.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ rules. If the sysctl configuration is modified, it must be updated in the kernel before it

+ <filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> instances for

+ detected. If execution in a container environment is detected, it
+ will instead enable <filename>console-getty.service</filename> for

+ <filename>container-getty@.service</filename> instances for
+ additional container pseudo TTYs as requested by the container
+ manager (see <ulink

+ Interface</filename></ulink>). This should ensure that the user is

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename> is a unit
+ generator that automatically discovers root,
+ <filename>/home</filename>, <filename>/srv</filename> and swap
+ partitions and creates mount and swap units for them, based on the
+ partition type GUIDs of GUID partition tables (GPT),
+ see <ulink url="http://www.uefi.org/specifications">UEFI Specification</ulink>, chapter 5.
+ It implements the <ulink
+ url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/">Discoverable
+ Partitions Specification</ulink>. Note that this generator has no
+ effect on non-GPT systems, or where the directories under the
+ mount points are already non-empty. Also, on systems where the
+ units are explicitly configured (for example, listed in
+ <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
+ the units this generator creates are overridden, but additional
+ implicit dependencies might be created.</para>
+
+ <para>This generator will only look for root partitions on the
+ same physical disk the EFI System Partition (ESP) is located on.
+ It will only look for the other partitions on the same physical
+ disk the root file system is located on. These partitions will not
+ be searched for on systems where the root file system is distributed
+ on multiple disks, for example via btrfs RAID.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename> is useful
+ for centralizing file system configuration in the partition table
+ and making configuration in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> unnecessary.
+ </para>

+ <para>This generator looks for the partitions based on their
+ partition type GUID. The following partition type GUIDs are

+
+ <para><filename>systemd-halt.service</filename> is a system
+ service that is pulled in by <filename>halt.target</filename> and
+ is responsible for the actual system halt. Similarly,
+ <filename>systemd-poweroff.service</filename> is pulled in by
+ <filename>poweroff.target</filename>,
+ <filename>systemd-reboot.service</filename> by
+ <filename>reboot.target</filename> and
+ <filename>systemd-kexec.service</filename> by
+ <filename>kexec.target</filename> to execute the respective
+ actions.</para>
+
+ <para>When these services are run, they ensure that PID 1 is
+ replaced by the
+ <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown</filename> tool which
+ is then responsible for the actual shutdown. Before shutting down,
+ this binary will try to unmount all remaining file systems,
+ disable all remaining swap devices, detach all remaining storage
+ devices and kill all remaining processes.</para>
+
+ <para>It is necessary to have this code in a separate binary
+ because otherwise rebooting after an upgrade might be broken — the
+ running PID 1 could still depend on libraries which are not
+ available any more, thus keeping the file system busy, which then
+ cannot be re-mounted read-only.</para>
+
+ <para>Immediately before executing the actual system
+ halt/poweroff/reboot/kexec <filename>systemd-shutdown</filename>
+ will run all executables in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/</filename> and pass
+ one arguments to them: either <literal>halt</literal>,
+ <literal>poweroff</literal>, <literal>reboot</literal> or
+ <literal>kexec</literal>, depending on the chosen action. All
+ executables in this directory are executed in parallel, and
+ execution of the action is not continued before all executables
+ finished.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that <filename>systemd-halt.service</filename> (and the
+ related units) should never be executed directly. Instead, trigger
+ system shutdown with a command such as <literal>systemctl
+ halt</literal> or suchlike.</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-journal-remote</command> is a command to receive serialized journal
+ events and store them to journal files. Input streams are in the
+ <ulink url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/export">Journal Export Format</ulink>,
+ i.e. like the output from <command>journalctl --output=export</command>. For transport over the
+ network, this serialized stream is usually carried over an HTTPS connection.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-journal-remote.service</filename> is a system service that uses
+ <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> to listen for connections.
+ <filename>systemd-journal-remote.socket</filename> configures the network address that
+ <filename>systemd-journal-remote.service</filename> listens on. By default this is port 19532.
+ What connections are accepted and how the received data is stored can be configured through the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journal-remote.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ configuration file.</para>

+ <title>Sources</title>
+
+ <para>
+ Sources can be either "active"
+ (<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> requests and pulls
+ the data), or "passive"
+ (<command>systemd-journal-remote</command> waits for a
+ connection and then receives events pushed by the other side).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> can read more than one
+ event stream at a time. They will be interleaved in the output
+ file. In case of "active" connections, each "source" is one
+ stream, and in case of "passive" connections, each connection can
+ result in a separate stream. Sockets can be configured in
+ "accept" mode (i.e. only one connection), or "listen" mode (i.e.
+ multiple connections, each resulting in a stream).
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When there are no more connections, and no more can be created
+ (there are no listening sockets), then
+ <command>systemd-journal-remote</command> will exit.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Active sources can be specified in the following

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-journald</filename> is a system service
+ that collects and stores logging data. It creates and maintains
+ structured, indexed journals based on logging information that is
+ received from a variety of sources:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Kernel log messages, via kmsg</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Simple system log messages, via the <filename>libc</filename> <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ call</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Structured system log messages via the native
+ Journal API, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_journal_print</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry></para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Standard output and standard error of service units. For further details see
+ below.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Audit records, originating from the kernel audit subsystem</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>The daemon will implicitly collect numerous metadata fields
+ for each log messages in a secure and unfakeable way. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.journal-fields</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information about the collected metadata.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Log data collected by the journal is primarily text-based but can also include binary data where
+ necessary. Individual fields making up a log record stored in the journal may be up to 2^64-1 bytes in size.</para>
+
+ <para>The journal service stores log data either persistently below <filename>/var/log/journal</filename> or in a
+ volatile way below <filename>/run/log/journal/</filename> (in the latter case it is lost at reboot). By default, log
+ data is stored persistently if <filename>/var/log/journal/</filename> exists during boot, with an implicit fallback
+ to volatile storage otherwise. Use <varname>Storage=</varname> in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journald.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> to configure
+ where log data is placed, independently of the existence of <filename>/var/log/journal/</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>On systems where <filename>/var/log/journal/</filename> does not exist yet but where persistent logging is
+ desired (and the default <filename>journald.conf</filename> is used), it is sufficient to create the directory, and
+ ensure it has the correct access modes and ownership:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>mkdir -p /var/log/journal
+systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix /var/log/journal</programlisting>
+
+ <para>See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journald.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for information about the configuration of this service.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Stream logging</title>
+
+ <para>The systemd service manager invokes all service processes with standard output and standard error connected
+ to the journal by default. This behaviour may be altered via the
+ <varname>StandardOutput=</varname>/<varname>StandardError=</varname> unit file settings, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details. The
+ journal converts the log byte stream received this way into individual log records, splitting the stream at newline
+ (<literal>\n</literal>, ASCII <constant>10</constant>) and <constant>NUL</constant> bytes.</para>
+
+ <para>If <filename>systemd-journald.service</filename> is stopped, the stream connections associated with all
+ services are terminated. Further writes to those streams by the service will result in <constant>EPIPE</constant>
+ errors. In order to react gracefully in this case it is recommended that programs logging to standard output/error
+ ignore such errors. If the <constant>SIGPIPE</constant> UNIX signal handler is not blocked or turned off, such
+ write attempts will also result in such process signals being generated, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>signal</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>. To mitigate this issue,
+ systemd service manager explicitly turns off the <constant>SIGPIPE</constant> signal for all invoked processes by
+ default (this may be changed for each unit individually via the <varname>IgnoreSIGPIPE=</varname> option, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ details). After the standard output/standard error streams have been terminated they may not be recovered until the
+ services they are associated with are restarted. Note that during normal operation,
+ <filename>systemd-journald.service</filename> stores copies of the file descriptors for those streams in the
+ service manager. If <filename>systemd-journald.service</filename> is restarted using <command>systemctl
+ restart</command> or equivalent operation instead of a pair of separate <command>systemctl stop</command> and
+ <command>systemctl start</command> commands (or equivalent operations), these stream connections are not terminated
+ and survive the restart. It is thus safe to restart <filename>systemd-journald.service</filename>, but stopping it
+ is not recommended.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the log record metadata for records transferred via such standard output/error streams reflect the
+ metadata of the peer the stream was originally created for. If the stream connection is passed on to other
+ processes (such as further child processes forked off the main service process), the log records will not reflect
+ their metadata, but will continue to describe the original process. This is different from the other logging
+ transports listed above, which are inherently record based and where the metadata is always associated with the
+ individual record.</para>
+
+ <para>In addition to the implicit standard output/error logging of services, stream logging is also available
+ via the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cat</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> command
+ line tool.</para>
+
+ <para>Currently, the number of parallel log streams <filename>systemd-journald</filename> will accept is limited to
+ 4096. When this limit is reached further log streams may be established but will receive
+ <constant>EPIPE</constant> right from the beginning.</para>

+ for more information about machine IDs.</para>
+
+ <para>This service is started after
+ <filename>local-fs.target</filename> in case
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is a mount point of its own
+ (usually from a memory file system such as
+ <literal>tmpfs</literal>) and /etc is writable. The service will
+ invoke <command>systemd-machine-id-setup --commit</command>, which

+ for details.</para>
+
+ <para>The main use case of this service are systems where
+ <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is read-only and initially
+ not initialized. In this case, the system manager will generate a
+ transient machine ID file on a memory file system, and mount it
+ over <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>, during the early boot
+ phase. This service is then invoked in a later boot phase, as soon
+ as <filename>/etc</filename> has been remounted writable and the
+ ID may thus be committed to disk to make it permanent.</para>

+
+ <para><command>systemd-mount</command> may be used to create and start a transient <filename>.mount</filename> or
+ <filename>.automount</filename> unit of the file system <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable> on the mount point
+ <replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>.</para>
+
+ <para>In many ways, <command>systemd-mount</command> is similar to the lower-level
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> command, however instead
+ of executing the mount operation directly and immediately, <command>systemd-mount</command> schedules it through
+ the service manager job queue, so that it may pull in further dependencies (such as parent mounts, or a file system
+ checker to execute a priori), and may make use of the auto-mounting logic.</para>
+
+ <para>The command takes either one or two arguments. If only one argument is specified it should refer to a block
+ device or regular file containing a file system (e.g. <literal>/dev/sdb1</literal> or
+ <literal>/path/to/disk.img</literal>). If it is a block device, which is then probed for a label and other
+ metadata, and is mounted to a directory whose name is generated from the label. In this mode the block device must
+ exist at the time of invocation of the command, so that it may be probed. If the device is found to be a removable
+ block device (e.g. a USB stick) an automount point instead of a regular mount point is created (i.e. the
+ <option>--automount=</option> option is implied, see below).</para>
+
+ <para>If two arguments are specified the first indicates the mount source (the <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable>) and
+ the second indicates the path to mount it on (the <replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>). In this mode no probing of the
+ source is attempted, and a backing device node doesn't have to exist yet. However, if this mode is combined with
+ <option>--discover</option>, device node probing for additional metadata is enabled, and – much like in the
+ single-argument case discussed above – the specified device has to exist at the time of invocation of the
+ command.</para>
+
+ <para>Use the <option>--list</option> command to show a terse table of all local, known block devices with file
+ systems that may be mounted with this command.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-umount</command> can be used to unmount a mount or automount point. It is the same
+ as <command>systemd-mount</command> <option>--umount</option>.</para>

+ the sending process is still around at the time PID 1 processes the message, or if the sending process is
+ explicitly runtime-tracked by the service manager. The latter is the case if the service manager originally forked
+ off the process, i.e. on all processes that match <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname><option>main</option> or
+ <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname><option>exec</option>. Conversely, if an auxiliary process of the unit sends an
+ <function>sd_notify()</function> message and immediately exits, the service manager might not be able to properly
+ attribute the message to the unit, and thus will ignore it, even if
+ <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname><option>all</option> is set for it.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-notify</command> will first attempt to invoke <function>sd_notify()</function> pretending to
+ have the PID of the invoking process. This will only succeed when invoked with sufficient privileges. On failure,
+ it will then fall back to invoking it under its own PID. This behaviour is useful in order that when the tool is
+ invoked from a shell script the shell process — and not the <command>systemd-notify</command> process — appears as
+ sender of the message, which in turn is helpful if the shell process is the main process of a service, due to the
+ limitations of <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname><option>all</option> described above.</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> may be used to run a command or OS in a light-weight namespace
+ container. In many ways it is similar to <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>chroot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>, but more powerful
+ since it fully virtualizes the file system hierarchy, as well as the process tree, the various IPC subsystems and
+ the host and domain name.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> may be invoked on any directory tree containing an operating system tree,
+ using the <option>--directory=</option> command line option. By using the <option>--machine=</option> option an OS
+ tree is automatically searched for in a couple of locations, most importantly in
+ <filename>/var/lib/machines</filename>, the suggested directory to place OS container images installed on the
+ system.</para>
+
+ <para>In contrast to <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>chroot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> <command>systemd-nspawn</command>
+ may be used to boot full Linux-based operating systems in a container.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> limits access to various kernel interfaces in the container to read-only,
+ such as <filename>/sys</filename>, <filename>/proc/sys</filename> or <filename>/sys/fs/selinux</filename>. The
+ host's network interfaces and the system clock may not be changed from within the container. Device nodes may not
+ be created. The host system cannot be rebooted and kernel modules may not be loaded from within the
+ container.</para>
+
+ <para>Use a tool like <citerefentry
+ project='mankier'><refentrytitle>dnf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry
+ project='die-net'><refentrytitle>debootstrap</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, or
+ <citerefentry project='archlinux'><refentrytitle>pacman</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
+ set up an OS directory tree suitable as file system hierarchy for <command>systemd-nspawn</command> containers. See
+ the Examples section below for details on suitable invocation of these commands.</para>
+
+ <para>As a safety check <command>systemd-nspawn</command> will verify the existence of
+ <filename>/usr/lib/os-release</filename> or <filename>/etc/os-release</filename> in the container tree before
+ starting the container (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>). It might be
+ necessary to add this file to the container tree manually if the OS of the container is too old to contain this
+ file out-of-the-box.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> may be invoked directly from the interactive command line or run as system
+ service in the background. In this mode each container instance runs as its own service instance; a default
+ template unit file <filename>systemd-nspawn@.service</filename> is provided to make this easy, taking the container
+ name as instance identifier. Note that different default options apply when <command>systemd-nspawn</command> is
+ invoked by the template unit file than interactively on the command line. Most importantly the template unit file
+ makes use of the <option>--boot</option> which is not the default in case <command>systemd-nspawn</command> is
+ invoked from the interactive command line. Further differences with the defaults are documented along with the
+ various supported options below.</para>
+
+ <para>The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> tool may
+ be used to execute a number of operations on containers. In particular it provides easy-to-use commands to run
+ containers as system services using the <filename>systemd-nspawn@.service</filename> template unit
+ file.</para>
+
+ <para>Along with each container a settings file with the <filename>.nspawn</filename> suffix may exist, containing
+ additional settings to apply when running the container. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ details. Settings files override the default options used by the <filename>systemd-nspawn@.service</filename>
+ template unit file, making it usually unnecessary to alter this template file directly.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that <command>systemd-nspawn</command> will mount file systems private to the container to
+ <filename>/dev</filename>, <filename>/run</filename> and similar. These will not be visible outside of the
+ container, and their contents will be lost when the container exits.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that running two <command>systemd-nspawn</command> containers from the same directory tree will not make
+ processes in them see each other. The PID namespace separation of the two containers is complete and the containers
+ will share very few runtime objects except for the underlying file system. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
+ <command>login</command> or <command>shell</command> commands to request an additional login session in a running
+ container.</para>

+ directories in it are owned by UIDs/GIDs in the range you'd like to use. Also, make sure that used file ACLs
+ exclusively reference UIDs/GIDs in the appropriate range. If this mode is used the number of UIDs/GIDs

+ <listitem><para>The special value <literal>pick</literal> turns on user namespacing. In this case the UID/GID
+ range is automatically chosen. As first step, the file owner of the root directory of the container's
+ directory tree is read, and it is checked that it is currently not used by the system otherwise (in
+ particular, that no other container is using it). If this check is successful, the UID/GID range determined
+ this way is used, similar to the behavior if "yes" is specified. If the check is not successful (and thus
+ the UID/GID range indicated in the root directory's file owner is already used elsewhere) a new – currently
+ unused – UID/GID range of 65536 UIDs/GIDs is randomly chosen between the host UID/GIDs of 524288 and
+ 1878982656, always starting at a multiple of 65536. This setting implies
+ <option>--private-users-chown</option> (see below), which has the effect that the files and directories in
+ the container's directory tree will be owned by the appropriate users of the range picked. Using this option
+ makes user namespace behavior fully automatic. Note that the first invocation of a previously unused
+ container image might result in picking a new UID/GID range for it, and thus in the (possibly expensive) file
+ ownership adjustment operation. However, subsequent invocations of the container will be cheap (unless of
+ course the picked UID/GID range is assigned to a different use by then).</para></listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to assign at least 65536 UIDs/GIDs to each container, so that the usable UID/GID range in the

+ hence a good idea to use the upper 16 bit of the host 32-bit UIDs/GIDs as container identifier, while the lower 16
+ bit encode the container UID/GID used. This is in fact the behavior enforced by the
+ <option>--private-users=pick</option> option.</para>
+
+ <para>When user namespaces are used, the GID range assigned to each container is always chosen identical to the

+
+ <para>Note that when user namespacing is used file ownership on disk reflects this, and all of the container's

+ to, and processes might see out-of-date versions of files at
+ times. Note that this switch automatically derives the
+ <literal>workdir=</literal> mount option for the overlay file
+ system from the top-level directory tree, making it a sibling
+ of it. It is hence essential that the top-level directory tree
+ is not a mount point itself (since the working directory must
+ be on the same file system as the top-most directory
+ tree). Also note that the <literal>lowerdir=</literal> mount
+ option receives the paths to stack in the opposite order of

+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>Lookups for the special hostname <literal>localhost</literal> are never routed to the network. (A

+ <listitem><para>Multi-label names with the domain suffix <literal>.local</literal> are routed to all local

+ sent via IPv4 and IPv6 address lookups are sent via IPv6.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Other multi-label names are routed to all local interfaces that have a DNS server configured,
+ plus the globally configured DNS server if there is one. Address lookups from the link-local address range are
+ never routed to DNS. Note that by default lookups for domains with the <literal>.local</literal> suffix are not
+ routed to DNS servers, unless the domain is specified explicitly as routing or search domain for the DNS server
+ and interface. This means that on networks where the <literal>.local</literal> domain is defined in a
+ site-specific DNS server, explicit search or routing domains need to be configured to make lookups within this
+ DNS domain work. Note that today it's generally recommended to avoid defining <literal>.local</literal> in a DNS
+ server, as <ulink url="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6762">RFC6762</ulink> reserves this domain for exclusive
+ MulticastDNS use.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>If lookups are routed to multiple interfaces, the first
+ successful response is returned (thus effectively merging the
+ lookup zones on all matching interfaces). If the lookup failed on
+ all interfaces, the last failing response is returned.</para>
+
+ <para>Routing of lookups may be influenced by configuring per-interface domain names and other settings. See

+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>If a name to look up matches (that is: is equal to or has as suffix) any of the configured search
+ or route-only domains of any link (or the globally configured DNS settings), the "best matching"
+ search/route-only domain is determined: the matching one with the most labels. The query is then sent to all DNS
+ servers of any links or the globally configured DNS servers associated with this "best matching"
+ search/route-only domain. (Note that more than one link might have this same "best matching" search/route-only
+ domain configured, in which case the query is sent to all of them in parallel).</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>If a query does not match any configured search/route-only domain (neither per-link nor global),
+ it is sent to all DNS servers that are configured on links with the "DNS default route" option set, as well as
+ the globally configured DNS server.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>If there is no link configured as "DNS default route" and no global DNS server configured, the
+ compiled-in fallback DNS server is used.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Otherwise the query is failed as no suitable DNS servers could be determined.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>The "DNS default route" option is a boolean setting configureable with <command>resolvectl</command> or in
+ <filename>.network</filename> files. If not set, it is implicitly determined based on the configured DNS domains
+ for a link: if there's any route-only domain (not matching <literal>~.</literal>) it defaults to false, otherwise
+ to true.</para>
+
+ <para>Effectively this means: in order to preferably route all DNS queries not explicitly matched by
+ search/route-only domain configuration to a specific link, configure a <literal>~.</literal> route-only domain on
+ it. This will ensure that other links will not be considered for the queries (unless they too carry such a
+ route-only domain). In order to route all such DNS queries to a specific link only in case no other link is
+ preferable, then set the "DNS default route" option for the link to true, and do not configure a
+ <literal>~.</literal> route-only domain on it. Finally, in order to ensure that a specific link never receives any
+ DNS traffic not matching any of its configured search/route-only domains, set the "DNS default route" option for it
+ to false.</para>

+
+ <para><filename>systemd-run-generator</filename> is a generator
+ that reads the kernel command line and understands three
+ options:</para>
+
+ <para>If the <option>systemd.run=</option> option is specified and followed by a command line, a unit named
+ <filename>kernel-command-line.service</filename> is generated for it and booted into. The service has
+ <varname>Type=oneshot</varname> set, and has <varname>SuccessAction=exit</varname> and
+ <varname>FailureAction=exit</varname> configured by default, thus ensuring that the system is shut down as soon as
+ the command completes. The exit status of the command line is propagated to the invoking container manager, if
+ this applies (which might propagate this further, to the calling shell — e.g.
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> does this). If
+ this option is used multiple times the unit file will contain multiple <varname>ExecStart=</varname> lines, to
+ execute all commands in order. The command is started as regular service, i.e. with
+ <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> on. </para>
+
+ <para>Use <option>systemd.run_success_action=</option> and <option>systemd.run_failure_action=</option> to tweak
+ how to react to the process completing. In particular assigning <literal>none</literal> will leave the system
+ running after the command completes. For further details on supported arguments, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

+ <para><filename>systemd-run-generator</filename> implements

+
+ <programlisting># systemd-nspawn -D mycontainer -b systemd.run='"adduser test"'</programlisting>
+ <para>(Note the requirement for double quoting in the command line above. The first level of quoting ('') is
+ processed and removed by the command shell used to invoke <command>systemd-nspawn</command>. The second level of
+ quoting ("") is propagated to the kernel command line of the container and processed and removed by

+
+ <para><command>systemd-run</command> may be used to create and start a transient <filename>.service</filename> or
+ <filename>.scope</filename> unit and run the specified <replaceable>COMMAND</replaceable> in it. It may also be
+ used to create and start a transient <filename>.path</filename>, <filename>.socket</filename>, or
+ <filename>.timer</filename> unit, that activates a <filename>.service</filename> unit when elapsing.</para>
+
+ <para>If a command is run as transient service unit, it will be started and managed by the service manager like any
+ other service, and thus shows up in the output of <command>systemctl list-units</command> like any other unit. It
+ will run in a clean and detached execution environment, with the service manager as its parent process. In this
+ mode, <command>systemd-run</command> will start the service asynchronously in the background and return after the
+ command has begun execution (unless <option>--no-block</option> or <option>--wait</option> are specified, see
+ below).</para>
+
+ <para>If a command is run as transient scope unit, it will be executed by <command>systemd-run</command> itself as
+ parent process and will thus inherit the execution environment of the caller. However, the processes of the command
+ are managed by the service manager similar to normal services, and will show up in the output of <command>systemctl
+ list-units</command>. Execution in this case is synchronous, and will return only when the command finishes. This
+ mode is enabled via the <option>--scope</option> switch (see below). </para>
+
+ <para>If a command is run with path, socket, or timer options such as <option>--on-calendar=</option> (see below),
+ a transient path, socket, or timer unit is created alongside the service unit for the specified command. Only the
+ transient path, socket, or timer unit is started immediately, the transient service unit will be triggered by the
+ path, socket, or timer unit. If the <option>--unit=</option> option is specified, the
+ <replaceable>COMMAND</replaceable> may be omitted. In this case, <command>systemd-run</command> creates only a
+ <filename>.path</filename>, <filename>.socket</filename>, or <filename>.timer</filename> unit that triggers the
+ specified unit.</para>
+
+ <para>By default, services created with <command>systemd-run</command> default to the <option>simple</option> type,
+ see the description of <varname>Type=</varname> in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ details. Note that when this type is used the service manager (and thus the <command>systemd-run</command> command)
+ considers service start-up successful as soon as the <function>fork()</function> for the main service process
+ succeeded, i.e. before the <function>execve()</function> is invoked, and thus even if the specified command cannot
+ be started. Consider using the <option>exec</option> service type (i.e. <option>--property=Type=exec</option>) to
+ ensure that <command>systemd-run</command> returns successfully only if the specified command line has been
+ successfully started.</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+ <para>
+ <command>systemd-socket-proxyd</command> is a generic
+ socket-activated network socket forwarder proxy daemon for IPv4,
+ IPv6 and UNIX stream sockets. It may be used to bi-directionally
+ forward traffic from a local listening socket to a local or remote
+ destination socket.</para>
+
+ <para>One use of this tool is to provide socket activation support
+ for services that do not natively support socket activation. On
+ behalf of the service to activate, the proxy inherits the socket
+ from systemd, accepts each client connection, opens a connection
+ to a configured server for each client, and then bidirectionally
+ forwards data between the two.</para>
+ <para>This utility's behavior is similar to
+ <citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>socat</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ The main differences for <command>systemd-socket-proxyd</command>
+ are support for socket activation with
+ <literal>Accept=no</literal> and an event-driven
+ design that scales better with the number of
+ connections.</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> is a system
+ service that is pulled in by <filename>suspend.target</filename>
+ and is responsible for the actual system suspend. Similarly,
+ <filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename> is pulled in by
+ <filename>hibernate.target</filename> to execute the actual
+ hibernation. Finally,
+ <filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename> is pulled in by
+ <filename>hybrid-sleep.target</filename> to execute hybrid
+ hibernation with system suspend and pulled in by
+ <filename>suspend-then-hibernate.target</filename> to execute system suspend
+ with a timeout that will activate hibernate later.</para>
+
+ <para>Immediately before entering system suspend and/or
+ hibernation <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> (and the
+ other mentioned units, respectively) will run all executables in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename> and pass two
+ arguments to them. The first argument will be
+ <literal>pre</literal>, the second either
+ <literal>suspend</literal>, <literal>hibernate</literal>,
+ <literal>hybrid-sleep</literal>, or <literal>suspend-then-hibernate</literal>
+ depending on the chosen action.
+ Immediately after leaving system suspend and/or hibernation the
+ same executables are run, but the first argument is now
+ <literal>post</literal>. All executables in this directory are
+ executed in parallel, and execution of the action is not continued
+ until all executables have finished.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that scripts or binaries dropped in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename> are intended
+ for local use only and should be considered hacks. If applications
+ want to react to system suspend/hibernation and resume,
+ they should rather use the <ulink

+ should never be executed directly. Instead, trigger system sleep
+ states with a command such as <literal>systemctl suspend</literal>
+ or similar.</para>
+
+ <para>Internally, this service will echo a string like

+ these fields into account, improving (and thus possibly changing) the names used for the same
+ devices. With this kernel command line option it is possible to pick a specific version of this
+ algorithm. It expects a naming scheme identifier as argument. Currently the following identifiers
+ are known: <literal>v238</literal>, <literal>v239</literal>, <literal>v240</literal> which each
+ implement the naming scheme that was the default in the indicated systemd version. In addition,
+ <literal>latest</literal> may be used to designate the latest scheme known (to this particular
+ version of <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename>).</para>
+
+ <para>Note that selecting a specific scheme is not sufficient to fully stabilize interface naming:
+ the naming is generally derived from driver attributes exposed by the kernel. As the kernel is
+ updated, previously missing attributes <filename>systemd-udevd.service</filename> is checking might
+ appear, which affects older name derivation algorithms, too.</para>

+
+ <para>The main network service file must have the extension <filename>.dnssd</filename>; other
+ extensions are ignored.</para>
+
+ <para>The <filename>.dnssd</filename> files are read from the files located in the system
+ network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/dnssd</filename>, the volatile runtime network
+ directory <filename>/run/systemd/dnssd</filename> and the local administration network
+ directory <filename>/etc/systemd/dnssd</filename>. All configuration files are collectively
+ sorted and processed in lexical order, regardless of the directories in which they live.
+ However, files with identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
+ have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with
+ the same name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a system-supplied
+ configuration file with a local file if needed.</para>
+
+ <para>Along with the network service file <filename>foo.dnssd</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
+ <filename>foo.dnssd.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, without having to modify the main
+ configuration file. Each drop-in file must have appropriate section headers.</para>
+
+ <para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/dnssd</filename>, drop-in <literal>.d</literal>
+ directories can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/dnssd</filename> or
+ <filename>/run/systemd/dnssd</filename> directories. Drop-in files in
+ <filename>/etc</filename> take precedence over those in <filename>/run</filename> which in turn
+ take precedence over those in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these
+ directories take precedence over the main network service file wherever located. (Of course, since
+ <filename>/run</filename> is temporary and <filename>/usr/lib</filename> is for vendors, it is
+ unlikely drop-ins should be used in either of those places.)</para>

+ <para>Generators are small executables that live in
+ <filename>&systemenvgeneratordir;/</filename> and other directories listed above.
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> will
+ execute those binaries very early at the startup of each manager and at configuration
+ reload time, before running the generators described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and before starting any units. Environment generators can override the environment that the
+ manager exports to services and other processes.</para>
+
+ <para>Generators are loaded from a set of paths determined during compilation, as listed
+ above. System and user environment generators are loaded from directories with names ending in
+ <filename>system-environment-generators/</filename> and
+ <filename>user-environment-generators/</filename>, respectively. Generators found in directories
+ listed earlier override the ones with the same name in directories lower in the list. A symlink
+ to <filename>/dev/null</filename> or an empty file can be used to mask a generator, thereby
+ preventing it from running. Please note that the order of the two directories with the highest
+ priority is reversed with respect to the unit load path, and generators in
+ <filename>/run</filename> overwrite those in <filename>/etc</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>After installing new generators or updating the configuration, <command>systemctl
+ daemon-reload</command> may be executed. This will re-run all generators, updating environment
+ configuration. It will be used for any services that are started subsequently.</para>
+
+ <para>Environment file generators are executed similarly to unit file generators described
+ in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ with the following differences:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Generators are executed sequentially in the alphanumerical order of the final
+ component of their name. The output of each generator output is immediately parsed and used
+ to update the environment for generators that run after that. Thus, later generators can use
+ and/or modify the output of earlier generators.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Generators are run by every manager instance, their output can be different for each
+ user.</para>

+ <listitem><para>Set the UNIX user or group that the processes are executed as, respectively. Takes a single
+ user or group name, or a numeric ID as argument. For system services (services run by the system service
+ manager, i.e. managed by PID 1) and for user services of the root user (services managed by root's instance of
+ <command>systemd --user</command>), the default is <literal>root</literal>, but <varname>User=</varname> may be
+ used to specify a different user. For user services of any other user, switching user identity is not
+ permitted, hence the only valid setting is the same user the user's service manager is running as. If no group
+ is set, the default group of the user is used. This setting does not affect commands whose command line is
+ prefixed with <literal>+</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that restrictions on the user/group name syntax are enforced: the specified name must consist only
+ of the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, <literal>_</literal> and <literal>-</literal>, except for the first character
+ which must be one of a-z, A-Z or <literal>_</literal> (i.e. numbers and <literal>-</literal> are not permitted
+ as first character). The user/group name must have at least one character, and at most 31. These restrictions
+ are enforced in order to avoid ambiguities and to ensure user/group names and unit files remain portable among
+ Linux systems.</para>
+
+ <para>When used in conjunction with <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> the user/group name specified is
+ dynamically allocated at the time the service is started, and released at the time the service is stopped —
+ unless it is already allocated statically (see below). If <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> is not used the
+ specified user and group must have been created statically in the user database no later than the moment the
+ service is started, for example using the

+ <term><varname>DynamicUser=</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Takes a boolean parameter. If set, a UNIX user and group pair is allocated dynamically when the
+ unit is started, and released as soon as it is stopped. The user and group will not be added to
+ <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> or <filename>/etc/group</filename>, but are managed transiently during
+ runtime. The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ glibc NSS module provides integration of these dynamic users/groups into the system's user and group
+ databases. The user and group name to use may be configured via <varname>User=</varname> and
+ <varname>Group=</varname> (see above). If these options are not used and dynamic user/group allocation is
+ enabled for a unit, the name of the dynamic user/group is implicitly derived from the unit name. If the unit
+ name without the type suffix qualifies as valid user name it is used directly, otherwise a name incorporating a
+ hash of it is used. If a statically allocated user or group of the configured name already exists, it is used
+ and no dynamic user/group is allocated. Note that if <varname>User=</varname> is specified and the static group
+ with the name exists, then it is required that the static user with the name already exists. Similarly, if
+ <varname>Group=</varname> is specified and the static user with the name exists, then it is required that the
+ static group with the name already exists. Dynamic users/groups are allocated from the UID/GID range
+ 61184…65519. It is recommended to avoid this range for regular system or login users. At any point in time
+ each UID/GID from this range is only assigned to zero or one dynamically allocated users/groups in
+ use. However, UID/GIDs are recycled after a unit is terminated. Care should be taken that any processes running
+ as part of a unit for which dynamic users/groups are enabled do not leave files or directories owned by these
+ users/groups around, as a different unit might get the same UID/GID assigned later on, and thus gain access to
+ these files or directories. If <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> is enabled, <varname>RemoveIPC=</varname>,
+ <varname>PrivateTmp=</varname> are implied. This ensures that the lifetime of IPC objects and temporary files
+ created by the executed processes is bound to the runtime of the service, and hence the lifetime of the dynamic
+ user/group. Since <filename>/tmp</filename> and <filename>/var/tmp</filename> are usually the only
+ world-writable directories on a system this ensures that a unit making use of dynamic user/group allocation
+ cannot leave files around after unit termination. Moreover <varname>ProtectSystem=strict</varname> and
+ <varname>ProtectHome=read-only</varname> are implied, thus prohibiting the service to write to arbitrary file
+ system locations. In order to allow the service to write to certain directories, they have to be whitelisted
+ using <varname>ReadWritePaths=</varname>, but care must be taken so that UID/GID recycling doesn't create
+ security issues involving files created by the service. Use <varname>RuntimeDirectory=</varname> (see below) in
+ order to assign a writable runtime directory to a service, owned by the dynamic user/group and removed
+ automatically when the unit is terminated. Use <varname>StateDirectory=</varname>,
+ <varname>CacheDirectory=</varname> and <varname>LogsDirectory=</varname> in order to assign a set of writable
+ directories for specific purposes to the service in a way that they are protected from vulnerabilities due to

+ may be used for resource limits measured in bytes (e.g. LimitAS=16G). For the limits referring to time values,

+ Note, that as new system calls are added to the kernel, additional system calls might be added to the groups

+ <command>systemd-analyze syscall-filter</command> to list the actual list of system calls in each

+
+ <para>Generally, whitelisting system calls (rather than blacklisting) is the safer mode of operation. It is

+
+ <para>System call filtering is not equally effective on all architectures. For example, on x86
+ filtering of network socket-related calls is not possible, due to ABI limitations — a limitation that x86-64
+ does not have, however. On systems supporting multiple ABIs at the same time — such as x86/x86-64 — it is hence
+ recommended to limit the set of permitted system call architectures so that secondary ABIs may not be used to

+ <varname>SystemCallArchitectures=native</varname> is a good choice for disabling non-native ABIs.</para>

+ <filename>&systemgeneratordir;/</filename> and other directories listed above.
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ will execute those binaries very early at bootup and at configuration reload time
+ — before unit files are loaded. Their main purpose is to convert configuration
+ that is not native into dynamically generated unit files.</para>
+
+ <para>Each generator is called with three directory paths that are to be used for
+ generator output. In these three directories, generators may dynamically generate
+ unit files (regular ones, instances, as well as templates), unit file
+ <filename>.d/</filename> drop-ins, and create symbolic links to unit files to add
+ additional dependencies, create aliases, or instantiate existing templates. Those
+ directories are included in the unit load path of
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ allowing generated configuration to extend or override existing
+ definitions.</para>
+
+ <para>Directory paths for generator output differ by priority:
+ <filename>…/generator.early</filename> has priority higher than the admin
+ configuration in <filename>/etc</filename>, while
+ <filename>…/generator</filename> has lower priority than
+ <filename>/etc</filename> but higher than vendor configuration in
+ <filename>/usr</filename>, and <filename>…/generator.late</filename> has priority
+ lower than all other configuration. See the next section and the discussion of
+ unit load paths and unit overriding in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Generators are loaded from a set of paths determined during
+ compilation, as listed above. System and user generators are loaded
+ from directories with names ending in
+ <filename>system-generators/</filename> and
+ <filename>user-generators/</filename>, respectively. Generators
+ found in directories listed earlier override the ones with the
+ same name in directories lower in the list. A symlink to
+ <filename>/dev/null</filename> or an empty file can be used to
+ mask a generator, thereby preventing it from running. Please note
+ that the order of the two directories with the highest priority is
+ reversed with respect to the unit load path, and generators in
+ <filename>/run</filename> overwrite those in
+ <filename>/etc</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>After installing new generators or updating the
+ configuration, <command>systemctl daemon-reload</command> may be
+ executed. This will delete the previous configuration created by
+ generators, re-run all generators, and cause
+ <command>systemd</command> to reload units from disk. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information.

+ <title>Output directories</title>
+
+ <para>Generators are invoked with three arguments: paths to directories where
+ generators can place their generated unit files or symlinks. By default those
+ paths are runtime directories that are included in the search path of
+ <command>systemd</command>, but a generator may be called with different paths
+ for debugging purposes.</para>

+ <title>Notes about writing generators</title>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>All generators are executed in parallel. That means all executables are
+ started at the very same time and need to be able to cope with this
+ parallelism.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Generators are run very early at boot and cannot rely on any external
+ services. They may not talk to any other process. That includes simple things
+ such as logging to
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ or <command>systemd</command> itself (this means: no
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>)!
+ Non-essential file systems like <filename>/var</filename> and
+ <filename>/home</filename> are mounted after generators have run. Generators
+ can however rely on the most basic kernel functionality to be available,
+ including a mounted <filename>/sys</filename>, <filename>/proc</filename>,
+ <filename>/dev</filename>, <filename>/usr</filename>.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Units written by generators are removed when the configuration is
+ reloaded. That means the lifetime of the generated units is closely bound to
+ the reload cycles of <command>systemd</command> itself.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Generators should only be used to generate unit files and symlinks to
+ them, not any other kind of configuration. Due to the lifecycle logic
+ mentioned above, generators are not a good fit to generate dynamic
+ configuration for other services. If you need to generate dynamic
+ configuration for other services, do so in normal services you order before
+ the service in question.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Since
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+
+ is not available (see above), log messages have to be written to
+ <filename>/dev/kmsg</filename> instead.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>It is a good idea to use the <varname>SourcePath=</varname> directive
+ in generated unit files to specify the source configuration file you are
+ generating the unit from. This makes things more easily understood by the
+ user and also has the benefit that systemd can warn the user about
+ configuration files that changed on disk but have not been read yet by
+ systemd.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Generators may write out dynamic unit files or just hook unit files
+ into other units with the usual <filename>.wants/</filename> or
+ <filename>.requires/</filename> symlinks. Often, it is nicer to simply
+ instantiate a template unit file from <filename>/usr</filename> with a
+ generator instead of writing out entirely dynamic unit files. Of course, this
+ works only if a single parameter is to be used.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>If you are careful, you can implement generators in shell scripts. We
+ do recommend C code however, since generators are executed synchronously and
+ hence delay the entire boot if they are slow.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Regarding overriding semantics: there are two rules we try to follow
+ when thinking about the overriding semantics:</para>
+
+ <orderedlist numeration="lowerroman">
+ <listitem>
+ <para>User configuration should override vendor configuration. This
+ (mostly) means that stuff from <filename>/etc</filename> should override
+ stuff from <filename>/usr</filename>.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Native configuration should override non-native configuration. This
+ (mostly) means that stuff you generate should never override native unit
+ files for the same purpose.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>Of these two rules the first rule is probably the more important one
+ and breaks the second one sometimes. Hence, when deciding whether to use
+ argv[1], argv[2], or argv[3], your default choice should probably be
+ argv[1].</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Instead of heading off now and writing all kind of generators for
+ legacy configuration file formats, please think twice! It is often a better
+ idea to just deprecate old stuff instead of keeping it artificially alive.
+ </para>

+ converts <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> into native mount units. It uses

+ user to override <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> with their own native unit
+ files, but also to ensure that <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> overrides any
+ vendor default from <filename>/usr</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>After editing <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>, the user should invoke

+ name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to
+ override a system-supplied link file with a local file if needed.
+ As a special case, an empty file (file size 0) or symlink with the

+
+ <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
+ <literal>.mount</literal> encodes information about a file system
+ mount point controlled and supervised by systemd.</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 mount specific configuration options are
+ configured in the [Mount] section.</para>
+
+ <para>Additional options are listed in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ which define the execution environment the
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ program is executed in, and in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ which define the way the processes are terminated, and in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ which configure resource control settings for the processes of the
+ service.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the options <varname>User=</varname> and
+ <varname>Group=</varname> are not useful for mount units.
+ systemd passes two parameters to
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>;
+ the values of <varname>What=</varname> and <varname>Where=</varname>.
+ When invoked in this way,
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ does not read any options from <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>, and
+ must be run as UID 0.</para>
+
+ <para>Mount units must be named after the mount point directories they control. Example: the mount point <filename
+ noindex='true'>/home/lennart</filename> must be configured in a unit file <filename>home-lennart.mount</filename>.
+ For details about the escaping logic used to convert a file system path to a unit name, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. Note that mount
+ units cannot be templated, nor is possible to add multiple names to a mount unit by creating additional symlinks to
+ it.</para>
+
+ <para>Optionally, a mount unit may be accompanied by an automount
+ unit, to allow on-demand or parallelized mounting. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.automount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>Mount points created at runtime (independently of unit files
+ or <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>) will be monitored by systemd
+ and appear like any other mount unit in systemd. See
+ <filename>/proc/self/mountinfo</filename> description in
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>proc</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

+ <para>Some file systems have special semantics as API file systems
+ for kernel-to-userspace and userspace-to-userspace interfaces. Some
+ of them may not be changed via mount units, and cannot be
+ disabled. For a longer discussion see <ulink

+
+ <para>The main Virtual Network Device file must have the extension <filename>.netdev</filename>;
+ other extensions are ignored. Virtual network devices are created as soon as networkd is
+ started. If a netdev with the specified name already exists, networkd will use that as-is rather
+ than create its own. Note that the settings of the pre-existing netdev will not be changed by
+ networkd.</para>
+
+ <para>The <filename>.netdev</filename> files are read from the files located in the system
+ network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>, the volatile runtime network
+ directory <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local administration network
+ directory <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>. All configuration files are collectively
+ sorted and processed in lexical order, regardless of the directories in which they live.
+ However, files with identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
+ have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with
+ the same name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a system-supplied
+ configuration file with a local file if needed. As a special case, an empty file (file size 0)
+ or symlink with the same name pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename> disables the
+ configuration file entirely (it is "masked").</para>
+
+ <para>Along with the netdev file <filename>foo.netdev</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
+ <filename>foo.netdev.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, without having to modify the main configuration file. Each drop-in
+ file must have appropriate section headers.</para>
+
+ <para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>, drop-in <literal>.d</literal>
+ directories can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename> or
+ <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> directories. Drop-in files in
+ <filename>/etc</filename> take precedence over those in <filename>/run</filename> which in turn
+ take precedence over those in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these
+ directories take precedence over the main netdev file wherever located. (Of course, since
+ <filename>/run</filename> is temporary and <filename>/usr/lib</filename> is for vendors, it is
+ unlikely drop-ins should be used in either of those places.)</para>

+ </para>
+
+ <para>The main network file must have the extension <filename>.network</filename>; other
+ extensions are ignored. Networks are applied to links whenever the links appear.</para>
+
+ <para>The <filename>.network</filename> files are read from the files located in the system
+ network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>, the volatile runtime network
+ directory <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local administration network
+ directory <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>. All configuration files are collectively
+ sorted and processed in lexical order, regardless of the directories in which they live.
+ However, files with identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
+ have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with
+ the same name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a system-supplied
+ configuration file with a local file if needed. As a special case, an empty file (file size 0)
+ or symlink with the same name pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename> disables the
+ configuration file entirely (it is "masked").</para>
+
+ <para>Along with the network file <filename>foo.network</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
+ <filename>foo.network.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, without having to modify the main
+ configuration file. Each drop-in file must have appropriate section headers.</para>
+
+ <para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>, drop-in <literal>.d</literal>
+ directories can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename> or
+ <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> directories. Drop-in files in
+ <filename>/etc</filename> take precedence over those in <filename>/run</filename> which in turn
+ take precedence over those in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these
+ directories take precedence over the main netdev file wherever located. (Of course, since
+ <filename>/run</filename> is temporary and <filename>/usr/lib</filename> is for vendors, it is
+ unlikely drop-ins should be used in either of those places.)</para>
+
+ <para>Note that an interface without any static IPv6 addresses configured, and neither DHCPv6
+ nor IPv6LL enabled, shall be considered to have no IPv6 support. IPv6 will be automatically
+ disabled for that interface by writing "1" to
+ <filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<replaceable>ifname</replaceable>/disable_ipv6</filename>.
+ </para>

+ <refsect1>
+ <title>[Match] Section Options</title>
+
+ <para>The network file contains a <literal>[Match]</literal>
+ section, which determines if a given network file may be applied
+ to a given device; and a <literal>[Network]</literal> section
+ specifying how the device should be configured. The first (in
+ lexical order) of the network files that matches a given device
+ is applied, all later files are ignored, even if they match as
+ well.</para>
+
+ <para>A network file is said to match a device if each of the
+ entries in the <literal>[Match]</literal> section matches, or if
+ the section is empty. The following keys are accepted:</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>An nspawn container settings file (suffix
+ <filename>.nspawn</filename>) encodes additional runtime
+ information about a local container, and is searched, read and
+ used by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ when starting a container. Files of this type are named after the
+ containers they define settings for. They are optional, and only
+ required for containers whose execution environment shall differ
+ from the defaults. Files of this type mostly contain settings that
+ may also be set on the <command>systemd-nspawn</command> command
+ line, and make it easier to persistently attach specific settings
+ to specific containers. The syntax of these files is inspired by
+ <filename>.desktop</filename> files following the <ulink
+ url="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/">XDG
+ Desktop Entry Specification</ulink>, which in turn are inspired by
+ Microsoft Windows <filename>.ini</filename> files.</para>
+

+ <title><filename>.nspawn</filename> File Discovery</title>
+
+ <para>Files are searched by appending the
+ <filename>.nspawn</filename> suffix to the machine name of the
+ container, as specified with the <option>--machine=</option>
+ switch of <command>systemd-nspawn</command>, or derived from the
+ directory or image file name. This file is first searched in
+ <filename>/etc/systemd/nspawn/</filename> and
+ <filename>/run/systemd/nspawn/</filename>. If found in these
+ directories, its settings are read and all of them take full effect
+ (but are possibly overridden by corresponding command line
+ arguments). If not found, the file will then be searched next to
+ the image file or in the immediate parent of the root directory of
+ the container. If the file is found there, only a subset of the
+ settings will take effect however. All settings that possibly
+ elevate privileges or grant additional access to resources of the
+ host (such as files or directories) are ignored. To which options
+ this applies is documented below.</para>
+
+ <para>Persistent settings files created and maintained by the
+ administrator (and thus trusted) should be placed in
+ <filename>/etc/systemd/nspawn/</filename>, while automatically
+ downloaded (and thus potentially untrusted) settings files are
+ placed in <filename>/var/lib/machines/</filename> instead (next to
+ the container images), where their security impact is limited. In
+ order to add privileged settings to <filename>.nspawn</filename>
+ files acquired from the image vendor, it is recommended to copy the
+ settings files into <filename>/etc/systemd/nspawn/</filename> and
+ edit them there, so that the privileged options become
+ available. The precise algorithm for how the files are searched and
+ interpreted may be configured with
+ <command>systemd-nspawn</command>'s <option>--settings=</option>
+ switch, see

+ <para>This man page describes how to implement "offline" system updates with systemd. By "offline"
+ OS updates we mean package installations and updates that are run with the system booted into a
+ special system update mode, in order to avoid problems related to conflicts of libraries and
+ services that are currently running with those on disk. This document is inspired by this
+ <ulink url="https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/SoftwareUpdates">GNOME design whiteboard</ulink>.

+ <listitem>
+ <para>When the user OK'ed the update, the symlink <filename>/system-update</filename> is

+ symlink in the distribution package, rather than depending on <command>systemctl
+ enable</command> in the postinst scriptlets of your package. More specifically, for your
+ update script create a .service file, without [Install] section, and then add a symlink like
+ <filename noindex='true'>/usr/lib/systemd/system-update.target.wants/foobar.service</filename>
+ → <filename noindex='true'>../foobar.service</filename> to your package.</para>
+ </listitem>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>Make sure to remove the <filename>/system-update</filename> symlink as early as

+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Use <varname>FailureAction=reboot</varname> in the service file for your update script
+ to ensure that a reboot is automatically triggered if the update fails.
+ <varname>FailureAction=</varname> makes sure that the specified unit is activated if your
+ script exits uncleanly (by non-zero error code, or signal/coredump). If your script succeeds
+ you should trigger the reboot in your own code, for example by invoking logind's
+ <command>Reboot()</command> call or calling <command>systemctl reboot</command>. See

+ <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>
+
+ <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>

+ <para>Turns on delegation of further resource control partitioning to processes of the unit. Units where this

+ the unit itself. For unprivileged services (i.e. those using the <varname>User=</varname> setting) the unit's
+ control group will be made accessible to the relevant user. When enabled the service manager will refrain
+ from manipulating control groups or moving processes below the unit's control group, so that a clear concept
+ of ownership is established: the control group tree above the unit's control group (i.e. towards the root
+ control group) is owned and managed by the service manager of the host, while the control group tree below
+ the unit's control group is owned and managed by the unit itself. Takes either a boolean argument or a list
+ of control group controller names. If true, delegation is turned on, and all supported controllers are
+ enabled for the unit, making them available to the unit's processes for management. If false, delegation is
+ turned off entirely (and no additional controllers are enabled). If set to a list of controllers, delegation
+ is turned on, and the specified controllers are enabled for the unit. Note that additional controllers than
+ the ones specified might be made available as well, depending on configuration of the containing slice unit
+ or other units contained in it. Note that assigning the empty string will enable delegation, but reset the
+ list of controllers, all assignments prior to this will have no effect. Defaults to false.</para>

+ hierarchy. Accordingly, access to the specified controllers will not be granted to unprivileged services on

+ expected that the process configured with <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is the main process of the
+ service. In this mode, if the process offers functionality to other processes on the system, its
+ communication channels should be installed before the service is started up (e.g. sockets set up by
+ systemd, via socket activation), as the service manager will immediately proceed starting follow-up units,
+ right after creating the main service process, and before executing the service's binary. Note that this
+ means <command>systemctl start</command> command lines for <option>simple</option> services will report
+ success even if the service's binary cannot be invoked successfully (for example because the selected
+ <varname>User=</varname> doesn't exist, or the service binary is missing).</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The <option>exec</option> type is similar to <option>simple</option>, but the service
+ manager will consider the unit started immediately after the main service binary has been executed. The service
+ manager will delay starting of follow-up units until that point. (Or in other words:
+ <option>simple</option> proceeds with further jobs right after <function>fork()</function> returns, while
+ <option>exec</option> will not proceed before both <function>fork()</function> and
+ <function>execve()</function> in the service process succeeded.) Note that this means <command>systemctl
+ start</command> command lines for <option>exec</option> services will report failure when the service's

+ exist, or the service binary is missing).</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>If set to <option>forking</option>, it is expected that the process configured with
+ <varname>ExecStart=</varname> will call <function>fork()</function> as part of its start-up. The parent
+ process is expected to exit when start-up is complete and all communication channels are set up. The child
+ continues to run as the main service process, and the service manager will consider the unit started when
+ the parent process exits. This is the behavior of traditional UNIX services. If this setting is used, it is
+ recommended to also use the <varname>PIDFile=</varname> option, so that systemd can reliably identify the
+ main process of the service. systemd will proceed with starting follow-up units as soon as the parent
+ process exits.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Behavior of <option>oneshot</option> is similar to <option>simple</option>; however, the
+ service manager will consider the unit started after the main process exits. It will then start follow-up
+ units. <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname> is particularly useful for this type of
+ service. <varname>Type=</varname><option>oneshot</option> is the implied default if neither
+ <varname>Type=</varname> nor <varname>ExecStart=</varname> are specified.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Behavior of <option>dbus</option> is similar to <option>simple</option>; however, it is
+ expected that the service acquires a name on the D-Bus bus, as configured by
+ <varname>BusName=</varname>. systemd will proceed with starting follow-up units after the D-Bus bus name
+ has been acquired. Service units with this option configured implicitly gain dependencies on the
+ <filename>dbus.socket</filename> unit. This type is the default if <varname>BusName=</varname> is
+ specified.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Behavior of <option>notify</option> is similar to <option>exec</option>; however, it is
+ expected that the service sends a notification message via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or an
+ equivalent call when it has finished starting up. systemd will proceed with starting follow-up units after
+ this notification message has been sent. If this option is used, <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> (see
+ below) should be set to open access to the notification socket provided by systemd. If
+ <varname>NotifyAccess=</varname> is missing or set to <option>none</option>, it will be forcibly set to
+ <option>main</option>. Note that currently <varname>Type=</varname><option>notify</option> will not work if
+ used in combination with <varname>PrivateNetwork=</varname><option>yes</option>.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>Behavior of <option>idle</option> is very similar to <option>simple</option>; however,
+ actual execution of the service program is delayed until all active jobs are dispatched. This may be used
+ to avoid interleaving of output of shell services with the status output on the console. Note that this
+ type is useful only to improve console output, it is not useful as a general unit ordering tool, and the
+ effect of this service type is subject to a 5s timeout, after which the service program is invoked
+ anyway.</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>It is generally recommended to use <varname>Type=</varname><option>simple</option> for long-running
+ services whenever possible, as it is the simplest and fastest option. However, as this service type won't
+ propagate service start-up failures and doesn't allow ordering of other units against completion of
+ initialization of the service (which for example is useful if clients need to connect to the service through
+ some form of IPC, and the IPC channel is only established by the service itself — in contrast to doing this
+ ahead of time through socket or bus activation or similar), it might not be sufficient for many cases. If so,
+ <option>notify</option> or <option>dbus</option> (the latter only in case the service provides a D-Bus
+ interface) are the preferred options as they allow service program code to precisely schedule when to
+ consider the service started up successfully and when to proceed with follow-up units. The
+ <option>notify</option> service type requires explicit support in the service codebase (as
+ <function>sd_notify()</function> or an equivalent API needs to be invoked by the service at the appropriate
+ time) — if it's not supported, then <option>forking</option> is an alternative: it supports the traditional
+ UNIX service start-up protocol. Finally, <option>exec</option> might be an option for cases where it is
+ enough to ensure the service binary is invoked, and where the service binary itself executes no or little
+ initialization on its own (and its initialization is unlikely to fail). Note that using any type other than
+ <option>simple</option> possibly delays the boot process, as the service manager needs to wait for service
+ initialization to complete. It is hence recommended not to needlessly use any types other than
+ <option>simple</option>. (Also note it is generally not recommended to use <option>idle</option> or
+ <option>oneshot</option> for long-running services.)</para>

+
+ <para>Each command line is split on whitespace, with the first item being the command to

+ ('…') may be used to wrap a whole item (the opening quote may appear only at the beginning or
+ after whitespace that is not quoted, and the closing quote must be followed by whitespace or the

+ table are allowed; other patterns may be added in the future and unknown patterns will result in
+ a warning. In particular, any backslashes should be doubled. Finally, a trailing backslash
+ (<literal>\</literal>) may be used to merge lines.</para>
+
+ <para>This syntax is inspired by shell syntax, but only the meta-characters and expansions
+ described in the following paragraphs are understood, and the expansion of variables is
+ different. Specifically, redirection using
+ <literal>&lt;</literal>,
+ <literal>&lt;&lt;</literal>,

+
+ <para>The command line accepts <literal>%</literal> specifiers as described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>Basic environment variable substitution is supported. Use
+ <literal>${FOO}</literal> as part of a word, or as a word of its
+ own, on the command line, in which case it will be replaced by the
+ value of the environment variable including all whitespace it
+ contains, resulting in a single argument. Use

+ For this type of expansion, quotes are respected when splitting

+
+ <para>If the command is not a full (absolute) path, it will be resolved to a full path using a

+ <filename>/usr/local/bin/</filename>, <filename>/usr/bin/</filename>, <filename>/bin/</filename>
+ on systems using split <filename>/usr/bin/</filename> and <filename>/bin/</filename>
+ directories, and their <filename>sbin/</filename> counterparts on systems using split
+ <filename>bin/</filename> and <filename>sbin/</filename>. It is thus safe to use just the
+ executable name in case of executables located in any of the "standard" directories, and an
+ absolute path must be used in other cases. Using an absolute path is recommended to avoid
+ ambiguity. Hint: this search path may be queried using
+ <command>systemd-path search-binaries-default</command>.</para>
+
+ <para>Example:</para>
+

+
+ <para>Variables to be used in this fashion may be defined through

+ systemd will continue running until the service terminates. If
+ the program daemonizes itself (i.e. forks), please use
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>forking</option> instead.</para>
+
+ <para>Since no <varname>ExecStop=</varname> was specified,
+ systemd will send SIGTERM to all processes started from this
+ service, and after a timeout also SIGKILL. This behavior can be
+ modified, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that this unit type does not include any type of
+ notification when a service has completed initialization. For
+ this, you should use other unit types, such as
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>notify</option> if the service
+ understands systemd's notification protocol,
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>forking</option> if the service
+ can background itself or
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>dbus</option> if the unit
+ acquires a DBus name once initialization is complete. See
+ below.</para>
+ </example>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Oneshot service</title>
+
+ <para>Sometimes, units should just execute an action without
+ keeping active processes, such as a filesystem check or a
+ cleanup action on boot. For this,
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>oneshot</option> exists. Units
+ of this type will wait until the process specified terminates
+ and then fall back to being inactive. The following unit will
+ perform a cleanup action:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>[Unit]
+Description=Cleanup old Foo data
+
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/foo-cleanup
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Note that systemd will consider the unit to be in the
+ state "starting" until the program has terminated, so ordered
+ dependencies will wait for the program to finish before starting
+ themselves. The unit will revert to the "inactive" state after
+ the execution is done, never reaching the "active" state. That
+ means another request to start the unit will perform the action
+ again.</para>
+
+ <para><varname>Type=</varname><option>oneshot</option> are the
+ only service units that may have more than one
+ <varname>ExecStart=</varname> specified. They will be executed
+ in order until either they are all successful or one of them
+ fails.</para>
+ </example>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Stoppable oneshot service</title>
+
+ <para>Similarly to the oneshot services, there are sometimes
+ units that need to execute a program to set up something and
+ then execute another to shut it down, but no process remains
+ active while they are considered "started". Network
+ configuration can sometimes fall into this category. Another use
+ case is if a oneshot service shall not be executed each time
+ when they are pulled in as a dependency, but only the first
+ time.</para>
+
+ <para>For this, systemd knows the setting
+ <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname><option>yes</option>, which
+ causes systemd to consider the unit to be active if the start
+ action exited successfully. This directive can be used with all
+ types, but is most useful with
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>oneshot</option> and
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>simple</option>. With
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>oneshot</option>, systemd waits
+ until the start action has completed before it considers the
+ unit to be active, so dependencies start only after the start
+ action has succeeded. With
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>simple</option>, dependencies
+ will start immediately after the start action has been
+ dispatched. The following unit provides an example for a simple
+ static firewall.</para>
+
+ <programlisting>[Unit]
+Description=Simple firewall
+
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+RemainAfterExit=yes
+ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/simple-firewall-start
+ExecStop=/usr/local/sbin/simple-firewall-stop
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Since the unit is considered to be running after the start
+ action has exited, invoking <command>systemctl start</command>
+ on that unit again will cause no action to be taken.</para>
+ </example>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Traditional forking services</title>
+
+ <para>Many traditional daemons/services background (i.e. fork,
+ daemonize) themselves when starting. Set
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>forking</option> in the
+ service's unit file to support this mode of operation. systemd
+ will consider the service to be in the process of initialization
+ while the original program is still running. Once it exits
+ successfully and at least a process remains (and
+ <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname><option>no</option>), the
+ service is considered started.</para>
+
+ <para>Often, a traditional daemon only consists of one process.
+ Therefore, if only one process is left after the original
+ process terminates, systemd will consider that process the main
+ process of the service. In that case, the
+ <varname>$MAINPID</varname> variable will be available in
+ <varname>ExecReload=</varname>, <varname>ExecStop=</varname>,
+ etc.</para>
+
+ <para>In case more than one process remains, systemd will be
+ unable to determine the main process, so it will not assume
+ there is one. In that case, <varname>$MAINPID</varname> will not
+ expand to anything. However, if the process decides to write a
+ traditional PID file, systemd will be able to read the main PID
+ from there. Please set <varname>PIDFile=</varname> accordingly.
+ Note that the daemon should write that file before finishing
+ with its initialization. Otherwise, systemd might try to read the
+ file before it exists.</para>
+
+ <para>The following example shows a simple daemon that forks and
+ just starts one process in the background:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>[Unit]
+Description=Some simple daemon
+
+[Service]
+Type=forking
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/my-simple-daemon -d
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>

+ <para>Please see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

+ the service.</para>
+ </example>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>DBus services</title>
+
+ <para>For services that acquire a name on the DBus system bus,
+ use <varname>Type=</varname><option>dbus</option> and set
+ <varname>BusName=</varname> accordingly. The service should not
+ fork (daemonize). systemd will consider the service to be
+ initialized once the name has been acquired on the system bus.
+ The following example shows a typical DBus service:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>[Unit]
+Description=Simple DBus service
+
+[Service]
+Type=dbus
+BusName=org.example.simple-dbus-service
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/simple-dbus-service

+WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
+
+ <para>For <emphasis>bus-activatable</emphasis> services, do not
+ include a <literal>[Install]</literal> section in the systemd
+ service file, but use the <varname>SystemdService=</varname>
+ option in the corresponding DBus service file, for example
+ (<filename>/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.example.simple-dbus-service.service</filename>):</para>
+

+ <title>Services that notify systemd about their initialization</title>
+
+ <para><varname>Type=</varname><option>simple</option> services
+ are really easy to write, but have the major disadvantage of
+ systemd not being able to tell when initialization of the given
+ service is complete. For this reason, systemd supports a simple
+ notification protocol that allows daemons to make systemd aware
+ that they are done initializing. Use
+ <varname>Type=</varname><option>notify</option> for this. A
+ typical service file for such a daemon would look like
+ this:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>[Unit]
+Description=Simple notifying service
+
+[Service]
+Type=notify
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/simple-notifying-service
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Note that the daemon has to support systemd's notification
+ protocol, else systemd will think the service has not started yet
+ and kill it after a timeout. For an example of how to update
+ daemons to support this protocol transparently, take a look at
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_notify</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ systemd will consider the unit to be in the 'starting' state

+
+ <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in <literal>.slice</literal> encodes information about a slice
+ unit. A slice unit is a concept for hierarchically managing resources of a group of processes. This management is
+ performed by creating a node in the Linux Control Group (cgroup) tree. Units that manage processes (primarily scope
+ and service units) may be assigned to a specific slice. For each slice, certain resource limits may be set that
+ apply to all processes of all units contained in that slice. Slices are organized hierarchically in a tree. The
+ name of the slice encodes the location in the tree. The name consists of a dash-separated series of names, which
+ describes the path to the slice from the root slice. The root slice is named <filename>-.slice</filename>. Example:
+ <filename>foo-bar.slice</filename> is a slice that is located within <filename>foo.slice</filename>, which in turn
+ is located in the root slice <filename>-.slice</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Note that slice units cannot be templated, nor is possible to add multiple names to a slice unit by creating
+ additional symlinks to its unit file.</para>

+ for the common options of all unit configuration files. The common

+ which configure resource control settings for the processes of the
+ socket.</para>
+
+ <para>For each socket file, a matching service file must exist,
+ describing the service to start on incoming traffic on the socket
+ (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>

+ described below. Depending on the setting of the
+ <option>Accept=</option> option described below, this .service
+ unit must either be named like the .socket unit, but with the
+ suffix replaced, unless overridden with <option>Service=</option>;
+ or it must be a template unit named the same way. Example: a
+ socket file <filename>foo.socket</filename> needs a matching

+ <option>Accept=no</option> is set. If
+ <option>Accept=yes</option> is set, a service template file

+
+ <para>No implicit <varname>WantedBy=</varname> or
+ <varname>RequiredBy=</varname> dependency from the socket to the
+ service is added. This means that the service may be started
+ without the socket, in which case it must be able to open sockets
+ by itself. To prevent this, an explicit
+ <varname>Requires=</varname> dependency may be added.</para>
+
+ <para>Socket units may be used to implement on-demand starting of
+ services, as well as parallelized starting of services. See the
+ blog stories linked at the end for an introduction.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the daemon software configured for socket
+ activation with socket units needs to be able to accept sockets
+ from systemd, either via systemd's native socket passing interface
+ (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_listen_fds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details) or via the traditional
+ <citerefentry project='freebsd'><refentrytitle>inetd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>-style
+ socket passing (i.e. sockets passed in via standard input and
+ output, using <varname>StandardInput=socket</varname> in the
+ service file).</para>
+
+ <para>All network sockets allocated through <filename>.socket</filename> units are allocated in the host's network
+ namespace (see <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>network_namespaces</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>). This
+ does not mean however that the service activated by a configured socket unit has to be part of the host's network
+ namespace as well. It is supported and even good practice to run services in their own network namespace (for
+ example through <varname>PrivateNetwork=</varname>, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>), receiving only
+ the sockets configured through socket-activation from the host's namespace. In such a set-up communication within
+ the host's network namespace is only permitted through the activation sockets passed in while all sockets allocated
+ from the service code itself will be associated with the service's own namespace, and thus possibly subject to a a
+ much more restrictive configuration.</para>

+ to be used with the kernel command line option <varname>systemd.unit=</varname>; it is

+ Note specifically that these <emphasis>passive</emphasis> target

+ service should order itself after these targets (as appropriate),
+ but not pull it in. A providing service should order itself before
+ these targets (as appropriate) and pull it in (via a
+ <varname>Wants=</varname> type dependency).</para>
+
+ <para>Note that these passive units cannot be started manually,
+ i.e. <literal>systemctl start time-sync.target</literal> will fail

+ <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in

+ or file for memory paging controlled and supervised by
+ systemd.</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

+ </para>
+
+ <para>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>Each file is a plain text file divided into sections, with configuration entries in the
+ style <replaceable>key</replaceable>=<replaceable>value</replaceable>.
+ Empty lines and lines starting with <literal>#</literal> or <literal>;</literal> are
+ ignored, which may be used for commenting.</para>
+
+ <para>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. The limit on
+ line length is very large (currently 1 MB), but it is recommended to avoid such long lines and
+ use multiple directives, variable substitution, or other mechanism as appropriate for the given
+ file type. When a comment line or lines follow a line ending with a backslash, the comment block
+ is ignored, so the continued line is concatenated with whatever follows the comment block.</para>
+
+ <example><programlisting>[Section A]
+KeyOne=value 1
+KeyTwo=value 2
+
+# a comment
+
+[Section B]
+Setting="something" "some thing" "…"
+KeyTwo=value 2 \
+ value 2 continued
+
+[Section C]
+KeyThree=value 2\
+# this line is ignored
+; this line is ignored too
+ value 2 continued
+</programlisting></example>
+
+ <para>Boolean arguments used in configuration 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 configuration 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: <literal>50</literal> refers to 50 seconds; <literal>2min 200ms</literal> refers to
+ 2 minutes and 200 milliseconds, i.e. 120200 ms. The following time units are understood:
+ <literal>s</literal>, <literal>min</literal>, <literal>h</literal>, <literal>d</literal>,
+ <literal>w</literal>, <literal>ms</literal>, <literal>us</literal>. For details see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>Various settings are allowed to be specified more than once, in which case the
+ interpretation depends on the setting. Often, multiple settings form a list, and setting to an
+ empty value "resets", which means that previous assignments are ignored. When this is allowed,
+ it is mentioned in the description of the setting. Note that using multiple assignments to the
+ same value makes the file incompatible with parsers for the XDG <filename>.desktop</filename>
+ file format.</para>

+ <title>Displaying Time Spans</title>
+
+ <para>Time spans refer to time durations. On display, systemd will present time spans as a space-separated series
+ of time values each suffixed by a time unit. Example:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>2h 30min</programlisting>
+
+ <para>All specified time values are meant to be added up. The above hence refers to 150 minutes. Display is
+ locale-independent, only English names for the time units are used.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Parsing Time Spans</title>
+
+ <para>When parsing, systemd will accept the same time span syntax.
+ Separating spaces may be omitted. The following time units are
+ understood:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>usec, us, µs</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>msec, ms</para></listitem>

+ <listitem><para>years, year, y (defined as 365.25 days)</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>If no time unit is specified, generally seconds are assumed, but some exceptions exist and are marked as
+ such. In a few cases <literal>ns</literal>, <literal>nsec</literal> is accepted too, where the granularity of the
+ time span permits this. Parsing is generally locale-independent, non-English names for the time units are not
+ accepted.</para>

+ <title>Displaying Timestamps</title>
+
+ <para>Timestamps refer to specific, unique points in time. On
+ display, systemd will format these in the local timezone as
+ follows:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>Fri 2012-11-23 23:02:15 CET</programlisting>
+
+ <para>The weekday is printed in the abbreviated English language form. The formatting is locale-independent.</para>
+
+ <para>In some cases timestamps are shown in the UTC timezone instead of the local timezone, which is indicated via
+ the <literal>UTC</literal> timezone specifier in the output.</para>
+
+ <para>In some cases timestamps are shown with microsecond granularity. In this case the sub-second remainder is
+ separated by a full stop from the seconds component.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Parsing Timestamps</title>
+
+ <para>When parsing, systemd will accept a similar syntax, but expects no timezone specification, unless it is given
+ as the literal string <literal>UTC</literal> (for the UTC timezone), or is specified to be the locally configured
+ timezone, or the timezone name in the IANA timezone database format. The complete list of timezones
+ supported on your system can be obtained using the <literal>timedatectl list-timezones</literal>
+ (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+ Using IANA format is recommended over local timezone names, as less prone to errors (eg: with local timezone it's possible to
+ specify daylight saving time in winter, while it's incorrect). The weekday specification is optional, but when
+ the weekday is specified, it must either be in the abbreviated (<literal>Wed</literal>) or non-abbreviated
+ (<literal>Wednesday</literal>) English language form (case does not matter), and is not subject to the locale
+ choice of the user. Either the date, or the time part may be omitted, in which case the current date or 00:00:00,
+ respectively, is assumed. The seconds component of the time may also be omitted, in which case ":00" is
+ assumed. Year numbers may be specified in full or may be abbreviated (omitting the century).</para>
+
+ <para>A timestamp is considered invalid if a weekday is specified and the date does not match the specified day of
+ the week.</para>
+
+ <para>When parsing, systemd will also accept a few special
+ placeholders instead of timestamps: <literal>now</literal> may be
+ used to refer to the current time (or of the invocation of the
+ command that is currently executed). <literal>today</literal>,
+ <literal>yesterday</literal>, and <literal>tomorrow</literal> refer to
+ 00:00:00 of the current day, the day before, or the next day,
+ respectively.</para>
+
+ <para>When parsing, systemd will also accept relative time
+ specifications. A time span (see above) that is prefixed with
+ <literal>+</literal> is evaluated to the current time plus the
+ specified time span. Correspondingly, a time span that is prefixed
+ with <literal>-</literal> is evaluated to the current time minus
+ the specified time span. Instead of prefixing the time span with
+ <literal>+</literal> or <literal>-</literal>, it may also be
+ suffixed with a space and the word <literal>left</literal> or
+ <literal>ago</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para>Finally, a timespan prefixed with <literal>@</literal> is
+ evaluated relative to the UNIX time epoch 1st Jan, 1970,
+ 00:00.</para>
+
+ <para>Examples for valid timestamps and their normalized form

+
+ <para>Note that timestamps displayed by remote systems with a non-matching timezone are usually not parsable
+ locally, as the timezone component is not understood (unless it happens to be <literal>UTC</literal>).</para>
+
+ <para>Timestamps may also be specified with microsecond granularity. The sub-second remainder is expected separated
+ by a full stop from the seconds component. Example:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>2014-03-25 03:59:56.654563</programlisting>
+
+ <para>In some cases, systemd will display a relative timestamp (relative to the current time, or the time of
+ invocation of the command) instead of or in addition to an absolute timestamp as described above. A relative
+ timestamp is formatted as follows:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>2 months 5 days ago</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Note that a relative timestamp is also accepted where a timestamp is expected (see above).</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Calendar Events</title>
+
+ <para>Calendar events may be used to refer to one or more points
+ in time in a single expression. They form a superset of the
+ absolute timestamps explained above:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>Thu,Fri 2012-*-1,5 11:12:13</programlisting>
+
+ <para>The above refers to 11:12:13 of the first or fifth day of
+ any month of the year 2012, but only if that day is a Thursday or
+ Friday.</para>
+
+ <para>The weekday specification is optional. If specified, it
+ should consist of one or more English language weekday names,
+ either in the abbreviated (Wed) or non-abbreviated (Wednesday)
+ form (case does not matter), separated by commas. Specifying two
+ weekdays separated by <literal>..</literal> refers to a range of
+ continuous weekdays. <literal>,</literal> and <literal>..</literal>
+ may be combined freely.</para>
+
+ <para>In the date and time specifications, any component may be
+ specified as <literal>*</literal> in which case any value will
+ match. Alternatively, each component can be specified as a list of
+ values separated by commas. Values may be suffixed with
+ <literal>/</literal> and a repetition value, which indicates that
+ the value itself and the value plus all multiples of the repetition value
+ are matched. Two values separated by <literal>..</literal> may be used
+ to indicate a range of values; ranges may also be followed with
+ <literal>/</literal> and a repetition value.</para>
+
+ <para>A date specification may use <literal>~</literal> to indicate the
+ last day(s) in a month. For example, <literal>*-02~03</literal> means
+ "the third last day in February," and <literal>Mon *-05~07/1</literal>
+ means "the last Monday in May."</para>
+
+ <para>The seconds component may contain decimal fractions both in
+ the value and the repetition. All fractions are rounded to 6
+ decimal places.</para>
+
+ <para>Either time or date specification may be omitted, in which
+ case the current day and 00:00:00 is implied, respectively. If the
+ second component is not specified, <literal>:00</literal> is
+ assumed.</para>
+
+ <para>Timezone can be specified as the literal string <literal>UTC</literal>, or
+ the local timezone, similar to the supported syntax of timestamps (see above), or the timezone
+ in the IANA timezone database format (also see above).</para>
+
+ <para>The following special expressions may be used as shorthands for longer normalized forms:</para>

+ for the common options of all unit configuration files. The common
+ configuration items are configured in the generic [Unit] and
+ [Install] sections. The timer specific configuration options are
+ configured in the [Timer] section.</para>
+
+ <para>For each timer file, a matching unit file must exist,
+ describing the unit to activate when the timer elapses. By
+ default, a service by the same name as the timer (except for the
+ suffix) is activated. Example: a timer file
+ <filename>foo.timer</filename> activates a matching service
+ <filename>foo.service</filename>. The unit to activate may be
+ controlled by <varname>Unit=</varname> (see below).</para>
+
+ <para>Note that in case the unit to activate is already active at the time the timer elapses it is not restarted,
+ but simply left running. There is no concept of spawning new service instances in this case. Due to this, services
+ with <varname>RemainAfterExit=</varname> set (which stay around continuously even after the service's main process
+ exited) are usually not suitable for activation via repetitive timers, as they will only be activated once, and

+ <title>Options</title>
+
+ <para>Timer files must include a [Timer] section, which carries

+ <varname>OnBootSec=</varname> defines a timer relative to when
+ the machine was booted up. <varname>OnStartupSec=</varname>
+ defines a timer relative to when systemd was first started.
+ <varname>OnUnitActiveSec=</varname> defines a timer relative
+ to when the unit the timer is activating was last activated.
+ <varname>OnUnitInactiveSec=</varname> defines a timer relative
+ to when the unit the timer is activating was last
+ deactivated.</para>
+
+ <para>Multiple directives may be combined of the same and of

+ <varname>OnBootSec=</varname> and
+ <varname>OnUnitActiveSec=</varname>, it is possible to define
+ a timer that elapses in regular intervals and activates a
+ specific service each time.</para>
+
+ <para>The arguments to the directives are time spans
+ configured in seconds. Example: "OnBootSec=50" means 50s after
+ boot-up. The argument may also include time units. Example:
+ "OnBootSec=5h 30min" means 5 hours and 30 minutes after
+ boot-up. For details about the syntax of time spans, see

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>A unit file is a plain text ini-style file that 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
+ resource management slice or a group of externally created processes. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.syntax</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for a general description of the syntax.</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 information:

+ </para>
+
+ <para>Unit files are loaded from a set of paths determined during
+ compilation, described in the next section.</para>
+
+ <para>Unit files can be parameterized by a single argument called the "instance name". The unit
+ is then constructed based on a "template file" which serves as the definition of multiple
+ services or other units. A template unit must have a single <literal>@</literal> at the end of
+ the name (right before the type suffix). The name of the full unit is formed by inserting the
+ instance name between <literal>@</literal> and the unit type suffix. In the unit file itself,
+ the instance parameter may be referred to using <literal>%i</literal> and other specifiers, see
+ below.</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 or section name is prefixed with <option>X-</option>, it is
+ ignored completely by systemd. Options within an ignored section
+ do not need the prefix. Applications may use this to include
+ additional information in the unit files.</para>
+
+ <para>Units can be aliased (have an alternative name), by creating a symlink from the new name
+ to the existing name in one of the unit search paths. For example,
+ <filename>systemd-networkd.service</filename> has the alias
+ <filename>dbus-org.freedesktop.network1.service</filename>, created during installation as the
+ symlink <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.network1.service</filename>. In
+ addition, unit files may specify aliases through the <varname>Alias=</varname> directive in the
+ [Install] section; those aliases are only effective when the unit is enabled. When the unit is
+ enabled, symlinks will be created for those names, and removed when the unit is disabled. For
+ example, <filename>reboot.target</filename> specifies
+ <varname>Alias=ctrl-alt-del.target</varname>, so when enabled it will be invoked whenever
+ CTRL+ALT+DEL is pressed. Alias names may be used in commands like <command>enable</command>,
+ <command>disable</command>, <command>start</command>, <command>stop</command>,
+ <command>status</command>, …, and in unit dependency directives <varname>Wants=</varname>,
+ <varname>Requires=</varname>, <varname>Before=</varname>, <varname>After=</varname>, …, with the
+ limitation that aliases specified through <varname>Alias=</varname> are only effective when the
+ unit is enabled. Aliases cannot be used with the <command>preset</command> command.</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>Wants=</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>Wants=</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 "drop-in" directory
+ <filename>foo.service.d/</filename> may exist. All files with the suffix <literal>.conf</literal> from this
+ directory will be parsed after the unit file itself is parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration
+ settings for a unit, without having to modify unit files. Drop-in files must contain appropriate section
+ headers. For instantiated units, this logic will first look for the instance <literal>.d/</literal> subdirectory
+ (e.g. <literal>foo@bar.service.d/</literal>) and read its <literal>.conf</literal> files, followed by the template
+ <literal>.d/</literal> subdirectory (e.g. <literal>foo@.service.d/</literal>) and the <literal>.conf</literal>
+ files there. Moreover for units names containing dashes (<literal>-</literal>), the set of directories generated by
+ truncating the unit name after all dashes is searched too. Specifically, for a unit name
+ <filename>foo-bar-baz.service</filename> not only the regular drop-in directory
+ <filename>foo-bar-baz.service.d/</filename> is searched but also both <filename>foo-bar-.service.d/</filename> and
+ <filename>foo-.service.d/</filename>. This is useful for defining common drop-ins for a set of related units, whose
+ names begin with a common prefix. This scheme is particularly useful for mount, automount and slice units, whose
+ systematic naming structure is built around dashes as component separators. Note that equally named drop-in files
+ further down the prefix hierarchy override those further up,
+ i.e. <filename>foo-bar-.service.d/10-override.conf</filename> overrides
+ <filename>foo-.service.d/10-override.conf</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/system</filename>, the drop-in <literal>.d/</literal>
+ directories for system services can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system</filename> or
+ <filename>/run/systemd/system</filename> directories. Drop-in files in <filename>/etc</filename>
+ take precedence over those in <filename>/run</filename> which in turn take precedence over those
+ in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these directories take precedence
+ over unit files wherever located. Multiple drop-in files with different names are applied in
+ lexicographic order, regardless of which of the directories they reside in.</para>
+
+ <!-- Note that we do not document .include here, as we consider it mostly obsolete, and want
+ people to use .d/ drop-ins instead. -->
+
+ <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>As mentioned above, a unit may be instantiated from a template file. 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 file system. 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>
+

+ <title>String Escaping for Inclusion in Unit Names</title>
+
+ <para>Sometimes it is useful to convert arbitrary strings into unit names. To facilitate this, a method of string
+ escaping is used, in order to map strings containing arbitrary byte values (except NUL) into valid unit names and
+ their restricted character set. A common special case are unit names that reflect paths to objects in the file
+ system hierarchy. 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.</para>
+
+ <para>The escaping algorithm operates as follows: given a string, any <literal>/</literal> character is replaced by
+ <literal>-</literal>, and all other characters which are not ASCII alphanumerics or <literal>_</literal> are
+ replaced by C-style <literal>\x2d</literal> escapes. In addition, <literal>.</literal> is replaced with such a
+ C-style escape when it would appear as the first character in the escaped string.</para>
+
+ <para>When the input qualifies as absolute file system path, this algorithm is extended slightly: the path to the
+ root directory <literal>/</literal> is encoded as single dash <literal>-</literal>. In addition, any leading,
+ trailing or duplicate <literal>/</literal> characters are removed from the string before transformation. Example:
+ <filename>/foo//bar/baz/</filename> becomes <literal>foo-bar-baz</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para>This escaping is fully reversible, as long as it is known whether the escaped string was a path (the
+ unescaping results are different for paths and non-path strings). The
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-escape</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> command may be
+ used to apply and reverse escaping on arbitrary strings. Use <command>systemd-escape --path</command> to escape
+ path strings, and <command>systemd-escape</command> without <option>--path</option> otherwise.</para>

+ <title>Automatic dependencies</title>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Implicit Dependencies</title>
+
+ <para>A number of unit dependencies are implicitly established, depending on unit type and
+ unit configuration. These implicit dependencies can make unit configuration file cleaner. For
+ the implicit dependencies in each unit type, please refer to section "Implicit Dependencies"
+ in respective man pages.</para>
+
+ <para>For example, service units with <varname>Type=dbus</varname> automatically acquire
+ dependencies of type <varname>Requires=</varname> and <varname>After=</varname> on
+ <filename>dbus.socket</filename>. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Default Dependencies</title>
+
+ <para>Default dependencies are similar to implicit dependencies, but can be turned on and off
+ by setting <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> to <varname>yes</varname> (the default) and
+ <varname>no</varname>, while implicit dependencies are always in effect. See section "Default
+ Dependencies" in respective man pages for the effect of enabling
+ <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> in each unit types.</para>
+
+ <para>For example, target units will complement all configured dependencies of type
+ <varname>Wants=</varname> or <varname>Requires=</varname> with dependencies of type
+ <varname>After=</varname> unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname> is set in the
+ specified units. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.target</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. Note that this behavior can be turned off by setting
+ <varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname>.</para>

+ <title>Unit File Load Path</title>
+
+ <para>Unit files are loaded from a set of paths determined during

+ in directories listed earlier override files with the same name in
+ directories lower in the list.</para>
+
+ <para>When the variable <varname>$SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH</varname> is set,
+ the contents of this variable overrides the unit load path. If

+ <para><varname>ConditionNeedsUpdate=</varname> takes one of

+ inverting the condition). This condition may be used to
+ conditionalize units on whether the specified directory
+ requires an update because <filename>/usr</filename>'s
+ modification time is newer than the stamp file
+ <filename>.updated</filename> in the specified directory. This
+ is useful to implement offline updates of the vendor operating
+ system resources in <filename>/usr</filename> that require
+ updating of <filename>/etc</filename> or
+ <filename>/var</filename> on the next following boot. Units
+ making use of this condition should order themselves before
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-update-done.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ to make sure they run before the stamp file's modification
+ time gets reset indicating a completed update.</para>
+
+ <para><varname>ConditionFirstBoot=</varname> takes a boolean argument. This condition may be used to
+ conditionalize units on whether the system is booting up with an unpopulated <filename>/etc</filename>
+ directory (specifically: an <filename>/etc</filename> with no <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>). This may
+ be used to populate <filename>/etc</filename> on the first boot after factory reset, or when a new system

+
+ <para>With <varname>ConditionPathExists=</varname> a file

+ exist.</para>

+
+ <para><varname>ConditionFileIsExecutable=</varname> is similar
+ to <varname>ConditionPathExists=</varname> but verifies
+ whether a certain path exists, is a regular file and marked
+ executable.</para>
+
+ <para><varname>ConditionUser=</varname> takes a numeric
+ <literal>UID</literal>, a UNIX user name, or the special value
+ <literal>@system</literal>. This condition may be used to check
+ whether the service manager is running as the given user. The
+ special value <literal>@system</literal> can be used to check
+ if the user id is within the system user range. This option is not
+ useful for system services, as the system manager exclusively
+ runs as the root user, and thus the test result is constant.</para>
+
+ <para><varname>ConditionGroup=</varname> is similar
+ to <varname>ConditionUser=</varname> but verifies that the
+ service manager's real or effective group, or any of its
+ auxiliary groups match the specified group or GID. This setting
+ does not have a special value <literal>@system</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para><varname>ConditionControlGroupController=</varname> takes a
+ cgroup controller name (eg. <option>cpu</option>), verifying that it is
+ available for use on the system. For example, a particular controller
+ may not be available if it was disabled on the kernel command line with
+ <varname>cgroup_disable=controller</varname>. Multiple controllers may
+ be passed with a space separating them; in this case the condition will
+ only pass if all listed controllers are available for use. Controllers

+ <option>cpu</option>, <option>cpuacct</option>, <option>io</option>,
+ <option>blkio</option>, <option>memory</option>,

+
+ <para>If multiple conditions are specified, the unit will be

+
+ <example>
+ <title>Allowing units to be enabled</title>
+
+ <para>The following snippet (highlighted) allows a unit (e.g.
+ <filename>foo.service</filename>) to be enabled via
+ <command>systemctl enable</command>:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>[Unit]
+Description=Foo
+
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/foo-daemon
+
+<emphasis>[Install]</emphasis>
+<emphasis>WantedBy=multi-user.target</emphasis></programlisting>
+
+ <para>After running <command>systemctl enable</command>, a
+ symlink
+ <filename>/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/foo.service</filename>
+ linking to the actual unit will be created. It tells systemd to
+ pull in the unit when starting
+ <filename>multi-user.target</filename>. The inverse
+ <command>systemctl disable</command> will remove that symlink
+ again.</para>
+ </example>
+
+ <example>
+ <title>Overriding vendor settings</title>
+
+ <para>There are two methods of overriding vendor settings in
+ unit files: copying the unit file from
+ <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system</filename> to
+ <filename>/etc/systemd/system</filename> and modifying the
+ chosen settings. Alternatively, one can create a directory named
+ <filename><replaceable>unit</replaceable>.d/</filename> within
+ <filename>/etc/systemd/system</filename> and place a drop-in
+ file <filename><replaceable>name</replaceable>.conf</filename>
+ there that only changes the specific settings one is interested
+ in. Note that multiple such drop-in files are read if
+ present, processed in lexicographic order of their filename.</para>
+
+ <para>The advantage of the first method is that one easily
+ overrides the complete unit, the vendor unit is not parsed at
+ all anymore. It has the disadvantage that improvements to the
+ unit file by the vendor are not automatically incorporated on
+ updates.</para>
+
+ <para>The advantage of the second method is that one only
+ overrides the settings one specifically wants, where updates to
+ the unit by the vendor automatically apply. This has the
+ disadvantage that some future updates by the vendor might be
+ incompatible with the local changes.</para>
+
+ <para>This also applies for user instances of systemd, but with
+ different locations for the unit files. See the section on unit
+ load paths for further details.</para>
+
+ <para>Suppose there is a vendor-supplied unit
+ <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service</filename> with
+ the following contents:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>[Unit]
+Description=Some HTTP server
+After=remote-fs.target sqldb.service
+Requires=sqldb.service
+AssertPathExists=/srv/webserver
+
+[Service]
+Type=notify
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/some-fancy-httpd-server
+Nice=5
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Now one wants to change some settings as an administrator:
+ firstly, in the local setup, <filename>/srv/webserver</filename>
+ might not exist, because the HTTP server is configured to use
+ <filename>/srv/www</filename> instead. Secondly, the local
+ configuration makes the HTTP server also depend on a memory
+ cache service, <filename>memcached.service</filename>, that
+ should be pulled in (<varname>Requires=</varname>) and also be
+ ordered appropriately (<varname>After=</varname>). Thirdly, in
+ order to harden the service a bit more, the administrator would
+ like to set the <varname>PrivateTmp=</varname> setting (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details). And lastly, the administrator would like to reset
+ the niceness of the service to its default value of 0.</para>
+
+ <para>The first possibility is to copy the unit file to
+ <filename>/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service</filename> and
+ change the chosen settings:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>[Unit]
+Description=Some HTTP server
+After=remote-fs.target sqldb.service <emphasis>memcached.service</emphasis>
+Requires=sqldb.service <emphasis>memcached.service</emphasis>
+AssertPathExists=<emphasis>/srv/www</emphasis>
+
+[Service]
+Type=notify
+ExecStart=/usr/sbin/some-fancy-httpd-server
+<emphasis>Nice=0</emphasis>
+<emphasis>PrivateTmp=yes</emphasis>
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Alternatively, the administrator could create a drop-in
+ file
+ <filename>/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service.d/local.conf</filename>
+ with the following contents:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>[Unit]
+After=memcached.service
+Requires=memcached.service
+# Reset all assertions and then re-add the condition we want
+AssertPathExists=
+AssertPathExists=/srv/www
+
+[Service]
+Nice=0
+PrivateTmp=yes</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Note that for drop-in files, if one wants to remove
+ entries from a setting that is parsed as a list (and is not a
+ dependency), such as <varname>AssertPathExists=</varname> (or
+ e.g. <varname>ExecStart=</varname> in service units), one needs
+ to first clear the list before re-adding all entries except the
+ one that is to be removed. Dependencies (<varname>After=</varname>, etc.)
+ cannot be reset to an empty list, so dependencies can only be
+ added in drop-ins. If you want to remove dependencies, you have
+ to override the entire unit.</para>

+
+ <para>systemd is a system and service manager for Linux operating
+ systems. When run as first process on boot (as PID 1), it acts as
+ init system that brings up and maintains userspace
+ services.</para>
+
+ <para>For compatibility with SysV, if systemd is called as
+ <command>init</command> and a PID that is not 1, it will execute
+ <command>telinit</command> and pass all command line arguments
+ unmodified. That means <command>init</command> and
+ <command>telinit</command> are mostly equivalent when invoked from
+ normal login sessions. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>telinit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information.</para>
+
+ <para>When run as a system instance, systemd interprets the
+ configuration file <filename>system.conf</filename> and the files
+ in <filename>system.conf.d</filename> directories; when run as a
+ user instance, systemd interprets the configuration file
+ <filename>user.conf</filename> and the files in
+ <filename>user.conf.d</filename> directories. See

+ <title>Concepts</title>
+
+ <para>systemd provides a dependency system between various
+ entities called "units" of 11 different types. Units encapsulate
+ various objects that are relevant for system boot-up and
+ maintenance. The majority of units are configured in unit
+ configuration files, whose syntax and basic set of options is
+ described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ however some are created automatically from other configuration,
+ dynamically from system state or programmatically at runtime.
+ Units may be "active" (meaning started, bound, plugged in, …,
+ depending on the unit type, see below), or "inactive" (meaning
+ stopped, unbound, unplugged, …), as well as in the process of
+ being activated or deactivated, i.e. between the two states (these
+ states are called "activating", "deactivating"). A special
+ "failed" state is available as well, which is very similar to
+ "inactive" and is entered when the service failed in some way
+ (process returned error code on exit, or crashed, an operation
+ timed out, or after too many restarts). If this state is entered,
+ the cause will be logged, for later reference. Note that the
+ various unit types may have a number of additional substates,
+ which are mapped to the five generalized unit states described
+ here.</para>

+
+ <listitem><para>Scope units are similar to service units, but
+ manage foreign processes instead of starting them as well. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.scope</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para></listitem>
+
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>Units are named as their configuration files. Some units
+ have special semantics. A detailed list is available in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>systemd knows various kinds of dependencies, including
+ positive and negative requirement dependencies (i.e.
+ <varname>Requires=</varname> and <varname>Conflicts=</varname>) as
+ well as ordering dependencies (<varname>After=</varname> and
+ <varname>Before=</varname>). NB: ordering and requirement
+ dependencies are orthogonal. If only a requirement dependency
+ exists between two units (e.g. <filename>foo.service</filename>
+ requires <filename>bar.service</filename>), but no ordering
+ dependency (e.g. <filename>foo.service</filename> after
+ <filename>bar.service</filename>) and both are requested to start,
+ they will be started in parallel. It is a common pattern that both
+ requirement and ordering dependencies are placed between two
+ units. Also note that the majority of dependencies are implicitly
+ created and maintained by systemd. In most cases, it should be
+ unnecessary to declare additional dependencies manually, however
+ it is possible to do this.</para>
+
+ <para>Application programs and units (via dependencies) may
+ request state changes of units. In systemd, these requests are
+ encapsulated as 'jobs' and maintained in a job queue. Jobs may
+ succeed or can fail, their execution is ordered based on the
+ ordering dependencies of the units they have been scheduled
+ for.</para>
+
+ <para>On boot systemd activates the target unit
+ <filename>default.target</filename> whose job is to activate
+ on-boot services and other on-boot units by pulling them in via
+ dependencies. Usually, the unit name is just an alias (symlink) for
+ either <filename>graphical.target</filename> (for fully-featured
+ boots into the UI) or <filename>multi-user.target</filename> (for
+ limited console-only boots for use in embedded or server
+ environments, or similar; a subset of graphical.target). However,
+ it is at the discretion of the administrator to configure it as an
+ alias to any other target unit. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details about these target units.</para>
+
+ <para>systemd only keeps a minimal set of units loaded into memory. Specifically, the only units that are kept
+ loaded into memory are those for which at least one of the following conditions is true:</para>
+
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>It is in an active, activating, deactivating or failed state (i.e. in any unit state except for <literal>inactive</literal>)</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>It has a job queued for it</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>It is a dependency of some sort of at least one other unit that is loaded into memory</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>It has some form of resource still allocated (e.g. a service unit that is inactive but for which
+ a process is still lingering that ignored the request to be terminated)</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>It has been pinned into memory programmatically by a D-Bus call</para></listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>systemd will automatically and implicitly load units from disk — if they are not loaded yet — as soon as
+ operations are requested for them. Thus, in many respects, the fact whether a unit is loaded or not is invisible to
+ clients. Use <command>systemctl list-units --all</command> to comprehensively list all units currently loaded. Any
+ unit for which none of the conditions above applies is promptly unloaded. Note that when a unit is unloaded from
+ memory its accounting data is flushed out too. However, this data is generally not lost, as a journal log record
+ is generated declaring the consumed resources whenever a unit shuts down.</para>
+
+ <para>Processes systemd spawns are placed in individual Linux
+ control groups named after the unit which they belong to in the
+ private systemd hierarchy. (see <ulink
+ url="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v1/cgroups.txt">cgroups.txt</ulink>
+ for more information about control groups, or short "cgroups").
+ systemd uses this to effectively keep track of processes. Control
+ group information is maintained in the kernel, and is accessible
+ via the file system hierarchy (beneath
+ <filename>/sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/</filename>), or in tools such as
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>systemd-cgls</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ or
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>ps</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ (<command>ps xawf -eo pid,user,cgroup,args</command> is
+ particularly useful to list all processes and the systemd units
+ they belong to.).</para>
+
+ <para>systemd is compatible with the SysV init system to a large
+ degree: SysV init scripts are supported and simply read as an
+ alternative (though limited) configuration file format. The SysV
+ <filename>/dev/initctl</filename> interface is provided, and
+ compatibility implementations of the various SysV client tools are
+ available. In addition to that, various established Unix
+ functionality such as <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> or the
+ <filename>utmp</filename> database are supported.</para>
+
+ <para>systemd has a minimal transaction system: if a unit is
+ requested to start up or shut down it will add it and all its
+ dependencies to a temporary transaction. Then, it will verify if
+ the transaction is consistent (i.e. whether the ordering of all
+ units is cycle-free). If it is not, systemd will try to fix it up,
+ and removes non-essential jobs from the transaction that might
+ remove the loop. Also, systemd tries to suppress non-essential
+ jobs in the transaction that would stop a running service. Finally
+ it is checked whether the jobs of the transaction contradict jobs
+ that have already been queued, and optionally the transaction is
+ aborted then. If all worked out and the transaction is consistent
+ and minimized in its impact it is merged with all already
+ outstanding jobs and added to the run queue. Effectively this
+ means that before executing a requested operation, systemd will
+ verify that it makes sense, fixing it if possible, and only
+ failing if it really cannot work.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that transactions are generated independently of a unit's
+ state at runtime, hence, for example, if a start job is requested on an
+ already started unit, it will still generate a transaction and wake up any
+ inactive dependencies (and cause propagation of other jobs as per the
+ defined relationships). This is because the enqueued job is at the time of
+ execution compared to the target unit's state and is marked successful and
+ complete when both satisfy. However, this job also pulls in other
+ dependencies due to the defined relationships and thus leads to, in our
+ our example, start jobs for any of those inactive units getting queued as
+ well.</para>
+
+ <para>systemd contains native implementations of various tasks
+ that need to be executed as part of the boot process. For example,
+ it sets the hostname or configures the loopback network device. It
+ also sets up and mounts various API file systems, such as
+ <filename>/sys</filename> or <filename>/proc</filename>.</para>

+ <filename><replaceable>package</replaceable>-<replaceable>part</replaceable>.conf</filename>.
+ The second variant should be used when it is desirable to make it
+ easy to override just this part of configuration.</para>
+
+ <para>Files in <filename>/etc/sysusers.d</filename> override files
+ with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/sysusers.d</filename> and
+ <filename>/run/sysusers.d</filename>. Files in
+ <filename>/run/sysusers.d</filename> override files with the same
+ name in <filename>/usr/lib/sysusers.d</filename>. Packages should
+ install their configuration files in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/sysusers.d</filename>. Files in
+ <filename>/etc/sysusers.d</filename> are reserved for the local
+ administrator, who may use this logic to override the
+ configuration files installed by vendor packages. All
+ configuration files are sorted by their filename in lexicographic
+ order, regardless of which of the directories they reside in. If
+ multiple files specify the same path, the entry in the file with
+ the lexicographically earliest name will be applied. All later
+ entries for the same user and group names will be logged as warnings.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file
+ supplied by the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink
+ to <filename>/dev/null</filename> in
+ <filename>/etc/sysusers.d/</filename> bearing the same filename.
+ </para>

+ <title>Configuration File Format</title>
+
+ <para>The file format is one line per user or group containing name, ID, GECOS
+ field description, home directory, and login shell:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>#Type Name ID GECOS Home directory Shell
+u httpd 404 "HTTP User"
+u authd /usr/bin/authd "Authorization user"
+u postgres - "Postgresql Database" /var/lib/pgsql /usr/libexec/postgresdb

+m authd input
+u root 0 "Superuser" /root /bin/zsh</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Empty lines and lines beginning with the <literal>#</literal> character are ignored, and may be used for
+ commenting.</para>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Type</title>
+
+ <para>The type consists of a single letter. The following line
+ types are understood:</para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>u</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Create a system user and group of the specified name should
+ they not exist yet. The user's primary group will be set to the group
+ bearing the same name. The account will be created disabled, so that logins
+ are not allowed.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>g</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Create a system group of the specified name
+ should it not exist yet. Note that <varname>u</varname>
+ implicitly create a matching group. The group will be
+ created with no password set.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>m</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Add a user to a group. If the user or group
+ do not exist yet, they will be implicitly
+ created.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>r</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Add a range of numeric UIDs/GIDs to the pool
+ to allocate new UIDs and GIDs from. If no line of this type
+ is specified, the range of UIDs/GIDs is set to some
+ compiled-in default. Note that both UIDs and GIDs are
+ allocated from the same pool, in order to ensure that users
+ and groups of the same name are likely to carry the same
+ numeric UID and GID.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ </variablelist>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Name</title>
+
+ <para>The name field specifies the user or group name. The specified name must consist only of the characters a-z,
+ A-Z, 0-9, <literal>_</literal> and <literal>-</literal>, except for the first character which must be one of a-z,
+ A-Z or <literal>_</literal> (i.e. numbers and <literal>-</literal> are not permitted as first character). The
+ user/group name must have at least one character, and at most 31.</para>
+
+ <para>It is strongly recommended to pick user and group names that are unlikely to clash with normal users
+ created by the administrator. A good scheme to guarantee this is by prefixing all system and group names with the
+ underscore, and avoiding too generic names.</para>
+
+ <para>For <varname>m</varname> lines, this field should contain
+ the user name to add to a group.</para>
+
+ <para>For lines of type <varname>r</varname>, this field should
+ be set to <literal>-</literal>.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>ID</title>
+
+ <para>For <varname>u</varname> and <varname>g</varname>, the
+ numeric 32-bit UID or GID of the user/group. Do not use IDs 65535
+ or 4294967295, as they have special placeholder meanings.
+ Specify <literal>-</literal> for automatic UID/GID allocation
+ for the user or group (this is strongly recommended unless it is strictly
+ necessary to use a specific UID or GID). Alternatively, specify an absolute path
+ in the file system. In this case, the UID/GID is read from the
+ path's owner/group. This is useful to create users whose UID/GID
+ match the owners of pre-existing files (such as SUID or SGID
+ binaries).
+ The syntax <literal><replaceable>uid</replaceable>:<replaceable>gid</replaceable></literal> is also supported to
+ allow creating user and group pairs with different numeric UID and GID values. The group with the indicated GID must get created explicitly before or it must already exist. Specifying <literal>-</literal> for the UID in this syntax
+ is also supported.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>For <varname>m</varname> lines, this field should contain
+ the group name to add to a user to.</para>
+
+ <para>For lines of type <varname>r</varname>, this field should
+ be set to a UID/GID range in the format
+ <literal>FROM-TO</literal>, where both values are formatted as
+ decimal ASCII numbers. Alternatively, a single UID/GID may be
+ specified formatted as decimal ASCII numbers.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>GECOS</title>
+
+ <para>A short, descriptive string for users to be created, enclosed in
+ quotation marks. Note that this field may not contain colons.</para>
+
+ <para>Only applies to lines of type <varname>u</varname> and should otherwise
+ be left unset (or <literal>-</literal>).</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Home Directory</title>
+
+ <para>The home directory for a new system user. If omitted, defaults to the
+ root directory.</para>
+
+ <para>Only applies to lines of type <varname>u</varname> and should otherwise
+ be left unset (or <literal>-</literal>). It is recommended to omit this, unless
+ software strictly requires a home directory to be set.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Shell</title>
+
+ <para>The login shell of the user. If not specified, this will be set to
+ <filename>/sbin/nologin</filename>, except if the UID of the user is 0, in
+ which case <filename>/bin/sh</filename> will be used.</para>
+
+ <para>Only applies to lines of type <varname>u</varname> and should otherwise

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>tmpfiles.d</filename> configuration files provide a generic mechanism to define the
+ <emphasis>creation</emphasis> of regular files, directories, pipes, and device nodes, adjustments to
+ their <emphasis>access mode, ownership, attributes, quota assignments, and contents</emphasis>, and
+ finally their time-based <emphasis>removal</emphasis>. It is mostly commonly used for volatile and
+ temporary files and directories (such as those located under <filename>/run</filename>,
+ <filename>/tmp</filename>, <filename>/var/tmp</filename>, the API file systems such as
+ <filename>/sys</filename> or <filename>/proc</filename>, as well as some other directories below
+ <filename>/var</filename>).</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> uses this configuration to create volatile files and
+ directories during boot and to do periodic cleanup afterwards. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-tmpfiles</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ the description of <filename>systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service</filename>,
+ <filename>systemd-tmpfiles-cleanup.service</filename>, and associated units.</para>
+
+ <para>System daemons frequently require private runtime directories below <filename>/run</filename> to
+ store communication sockets and similar. For these, is is better to use
+ <varname>RuntimeDirectory=</varname> in their unit files (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ details), if the flexibility provided by <filename>tmpfiles.d</filename> is not required. The advantages
+ are that the configuration required by the unit is centralized in one place, and that the lifetime of the
+ directory is tied to the lifetime of the service itself. Similarly, <varname>StateDirectory=</varname>,
+ <varname>CacheDirectory=</varname>, <varname>LogsDirectory=</varname>, and
+ <varname>ConfigurationDirectory=</varname> should be used to create directories under
+ <filename>/var/lib/</filename>, <filename>/var/cache/</filename>, <filename>/var/log/</filename>, and
+ <filename>/etc/</filename>. <filename>tmpfiles.d</filename> should be used for files whose lifetime is
+ independent of any service or requires more complicated configuration.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Configuration Directories and Precedence</title>
+
+ <para>Each configuration file shall be named in the style of
+ <filename><replaceable>package</replaceable>.conf</filename> or
+ <filename><replaceable>package</replaceable>-<replaceable>part</replaceable>.conf</filename>.
+ The second variant should be used when it is desirable to make it
+ easy to override just this part of configuration.</para>
+
+ <para>Files in <filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d</filename> override files with the same name in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename> and <filename>/run/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Files in
+ <filename>/run/tmpfiles.d</filename> override files with the same name in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Packages should install their configuration files in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Files in <filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d</filename> are reserved for the local
+ administrator, who may use this logic to override the configuration files installed by vendor packages. All
+ configuration files are sorted by their filename in lexicographic order, regardless of which of the directories
+ they reside in. If multiple files specify the same path, the entry in the file with the lexicographically earliest
+ name will be applied. All other conflicting entries will be logged as errors. When two lines are prefix path and
+ suffix path of each other, then the prefix line is always created first, the suffix later (and if removal applies
+ to the line, the order is reversed: the suffix is removed first, the prefix later). Lines that take globs are
+ applied after those accepting no globs. If multiple operations shall be applied on the same file (such as ACL,
+ xattr, file attribute adjustments), these are always done in the same fixed order. Except for those cases, the
+ files/directories are processed in the order they are listed.</para>
+
+ <para>If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file
+ supplied by the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink
+ to <filename>/dev/null</filename> in
+ <filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d/</filename> bearing the same filename.

+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>Q</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Create the subvolume or directory the same as <varname>v</varname>, but assign the
+ new subvolume to a new leaf quota group. Instead of copying the higher-level quota group
+ assignments from the parent as is done with <varname>q</varname>, the lowest quota group of the
+ parent subvolume is determined that is not the leaf quota group. Then, an "intermediary" quota
+ group is inserted that is one level below this level, and shares the same ID part as the specified
+ subvolume. If no higher-level quota group exists for the parent subvolume, a new quota group at
+ level 255 sharing the same ID as the specified subvolume is inserted instead. This new intermediary
+ quota group is then assigned to the parent subvolume's higher-level quota groups, and the specified
+ subvolume's leaf quota group is assigned to it.</para>
+
+ <para>Effectively, this has a similar effect as <varname>q</varname>, however introduces a new higher-level
+ quota group for the specified subvolume that may be used to enforce limits and accounting to the specified
+ subvolume and children subvolume created within it. Thus, by creating subvolumes only via
+ <varname>q</varname> and <varname>Q</varname>, a concept of "subtree quotas" is implemented. Each subvolume
+ for which <varname>Q</varname> is set will get a "subtree" quota group created, and all child subvolumes
+ created within it will be assigned to it. Each subvolume for which <varname>q</varname> is set will not get
+ such a "subtree" quota group, but it is ensured that they are added to the same "subtree" quota group as
+ their immediate parents.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to use <varname>Q</varname> for subvolumes that typically contain further subvolumes,
+ and where it is desirable to have accounting and quota limits on all child subvolumes together. Examples for
+ <varname>Q</varname> are typically <filename>/home</filename> or <filename>/var/lib/machines</filename>. In
+ contrast, <varname>q</varname> should be used for subvolumes that either usually do not include further
+ subvolumes or where no accounting and quota limits are needed that apply to all child subvolumes
+ together. Examples for <varname>q</varname> are typically <filename>/var</filename> or
+ <filename>/var/tmp</filename>. </para>
+
+ <para>As with <varname>q</varname>, <varname>Q</varname> has no effect on the quota group hierarchy if the
+ subvolume already exists, regardless of whether the subvolume already belong to a quota group or not.

+
+# Unlink the X11 lock files

+ The second line in contrast to the first one would break a
+ running system, and will only be executed with
+ <option>--boot</option>.</para>
+
+ <para>If the minus sign is used, this line failing to run
+ successfully during create (and only create) will not cause
+ the execution of <command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> to return
+ an error.</para>
+
+ <para>For example:
+ <programlisting># Modify sysfs but don't fail if we are in a container with a read-only /proc

+ leading directories are implicitly created if needed, owned by root with an access mode of 0755. In order to
+ create them with different modes or ownership make sure to add appropriate <varname>d</varname> lines.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Path</title>
+
+ <para>The file system path specification supports simple
+ specifier expansion, see below. The path (after expansion) must be
+ absolute.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Mode</title>
+
+ <para>The file access mode to use when creating this file or
+ directory. If omitted or when set to <literal>-</literal>, the
+ default is used: 0755 for directories, 0644 for all other file
+ objects. For <varname>z</varname>, <varname>Z</varname> lines,
+ if omitted or when set to <literal>-</literal>, the file access
+ mode will not be modified. This parameter is ignored for
+ <varname>x</varname>, <varname>r</varname>,
+ <varname>R</varname>, <varname>L</varname>, <varname>t</varname>,
+ and <varname>a</varname> lines.</para>
+
+ <para>Optionally, if prefixed with <literal>~</literal>, the
+ access mode is masked based on the already set access bits for
+ existing file or directories: if the existing file has all
+ executable bits unset, all executable bits are removed from the
+ new access mode, too. Similarly, if all read bits are removed
+ from the old access mode, they will be removed from the new
+ access mode too, and if all write bits are removed, they will be
+ removed from the new access mode too. In addition, the
+ sticky/SUID/SGID bit is removed unless applied to a
+ directory. This functionality is particularly useful in
+ conjunction with <varname>Z</varname>.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>User, Group</title>
+
+ <para>The user and group to use for this file or directory. This may either be a numeric ID or a
+ user/group name. If omitted or when set to <literal>-</literal>, the user and group of the user who
+ invokes <command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> is used. For <varname>z</varname> and <varname>Z</varname>
+ lines, when omitted or when set to <literal>-</literal>, the file ownership will not be modified. These
+ parameters are ignored for <varname>x</varname>, <varname>r</varname>, <varname>R</varname>,
+ <varname>L</varname>, <varname>t</varname>, and <varname>a</varname> lines.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Age</title>
+ <para>The date field, when set, is used to decide what files to
+ delete when cleaning. If a file or directory is older than the
+ current time minus the age field, it is deleted. The field
+ format is a series of integers each followed by one of the
+ following suffixes for the respective time units:
+ <constant>s</constant>,
+ <constant>m</constant> or <constant>min</constant>,
+ <constant>h</constant>,
+ <constant>d</constant>,
+ <constant>w</constant>,
+ <constant>ms</constant>, and
+ <constant>us</constant>,
+ meaning seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks,
+ milliseconds, and microseconds, respectively. Full names of the time units can
+ be used too.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>If multiple integers and units are specified, the time
+ values are summed. If an integer is given without a unit,
+ <constant>s</constant> is assumed.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>When the age is set to zero, the files are cleaned
+ unconditionally.</para>
+
+ <para>The age field only applies to lines starting with
+ <varname>d</varname>, <varname>D</varname>, <varname>e</varname>,
+ <varname>v</varname>, <varname>q</varname>,
+ <varname>Q</varname>, <varname>C</varname>, <varname>x</varname>
+ and <varname>X</varname>. If omitted or set to
+ <literal>-</literal>, no automatic clean-up is done.</para>
+
+ <para>If the age field starts with a tilde character
+ <literal>~</literal>, the clean-up is only applied to files and
+ directories one level inside the directory specified, but not
+ the files and directories immediately inside it.</para>
+
+ <para>The age of a file system entry is determined from its last
+ modification timestamp (mtime), its last access timestamp (atime),
+ and (except for directories) its last status change timestamp
+ (ctime). Any of these three (or two) values will prevent cleanup
+ if it is more recent than the current time minus the age
+ field.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+
+ <refsect2>
+ <title>Argument</title>
+
+ <para>For <varname>L</varname> lines determines the destination path of the symlink. For <varname>c</varname> and
+ <varname>b</varname>, determines the major/minor of the device node, with major and minor formatted as integers,
+ separated by <literal>:</literal>, e.g. <literal>1:3</literal>. For <varname>f</varname>, <varname>F</varname>,
+ and <varname>w</varname>, the argument may be used to specify a short string that is written to the file,
+ suffixed by a newline. For <varname>C</varname>, specifies the source file or directory. For <varname>t</varname>
+ and <varname>T</varname>, determines extended attributes to be set. For <varname>a</varname> and
+ <varname>A</varname>, determines ACL attributes to be set. For <varname>h</varname> and <varname>H</varname>,
+ determines the file attributes to set. Ignored for all other lines.</para>
+
+ <para>This field can contain specifiers, see below.</para>
+ </refsect2>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Specifiers</title>
+
+ <para>Specifiers can be used in the "path" and "argument" fields.

+ <refsect1><title>Description</title>
+ <para>udev supplies the system software with device events, manages permissions
+ of device nodes and may create additional symlinks in the <filename>/dev</filename>
+ directory, or renames network interfaces. The kernel usually just assigns unpredictable
+ device names based on the order of discovery. Meaningful symlinks or network device
+ names provide a way to reliably identify devices based on their properties or
+ current configuration.</para>
+
+ <para>The udev daemon, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd.service</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, receives device uevents directly from
+ the kernel whenever a device is added or removed from the system, or it changes its
+ state. When udev receives a device event, it matches its configured set of rules
+ against various device attributes to identify the device. Rules that match may
+ provide additional device information to be stored in the udev database or
+ to be used to create meaningful symlink names.</para>
+
+ <para>All device information udev processes is stored in the udev database and
+ sent out to possible event subscribers. Access to all stored data and the event
+ sources is provided by the library libudev.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1><title>Rules Files</title>
+ <para>The udev rules are read from the files located in the
+ system rules directory <filename>/usr/lib/udev/rules.d</filename>,
+ the volatile runtime directory <filename>/run/udev/rules.d</filename>
+ and the local administration directory <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d</filename>.
+ All rules files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
+ regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
+ identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
+ have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence
+ over files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be
+ used to override a system-supplied rules file with a local file if needed;
+ a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a rules file in
+ <filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
+ disables the rules file entirely. Rule files must have the extension
+ <filename>.rules</filename>; other extensions are ignored.</para>
+
+ <para>Every line in the rules file contains at least one key-value pair.
+ Except for empty lines or lines beginning with <literal>#</literal>, which are ignored.
+ There are two kinds of keys: match and assignment.
+ If all match keys match against their values, the rule gets applied and the
+ assignment keys get the specified values assigned.</para>
+
+ <para>A matching rule may rename a network interface, add symlinks
+ pointing to the device node, or run a specified program as part of
+ the event handling.</para>
+
+ <para>A rule consists of a comma-separated list of one or more key-value pairs.
+ Each key has a distinct operation, depending on the used operator. Valid
+ operators are:</para>

+ </variablelist>
+
+ <para>The following key names can be used to match against device properties.
+ Some of the keys also match against properties of the parent devices in sysfs,
+ not only the device that has generated the event. If multiple keys that match
+ a parent device are specified in a single rule, all these keys must match at
+ one and the same parent device.</para>

+
+ <para>The
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ system manager (PID 1) starts user manager instances as
+ <filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename>, where the user's numerical UID
+ is used as the instance identifier. Each <command>systemd --user</command> instance manages a
+ hierarchy of its own units. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ a discussion of systemd units and
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for a list of units that form the basis of the unit hierarchies of system and user units.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename> is accompanied by the
+ system unit <filename>user-runtime-dir@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename>, which
+ creates the user's runtime directory
+ <filename>/run/user/<replaceable>UID</replaceable></filename>, and then removes it when this
+ unit is stopped.</para>
+
+ <para>User processes may be started by the <filename>user@.service</filename> instance, in which
+ case they will be part of that unit in the system hierarchy. They may also be started elsewhere,
+ for example by
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sshd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> or a
+ display manager like <command>gdm</command>, in which case they form a .scope unit (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.scope</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
+ Both <filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename> and the scope units are
+ collected under a <filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>Individual <filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename> slices are
+ collected under <filename>user.slice</filename>, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ </para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Controlling resources for logged-in users</title>
+
+ <para>Options that control resources available to logged-in users can be configured at a few
+ different levels. As described in the previous section, <filename>user.slice</filename> contains
+ processes of all users, so any resource limits on that slice apply to all users together. The
+ usual way to configure them would be through drop-ins, e.g. <filename
+ noindex='true'>/etc/systemd/system/user.slice.d/resources.conf</filename>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The processes of a single user are collected under
+ <filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename>. Resource limits for that user
+ can be configured through drop-ins for that unit, e.g. <filename
+ noindex='true'>/etc/systemd/system/user-1000.slice.d/resources.conf</filename>. If the limits
+ should apply to all users instead, they may be configured through drop-ins for the truncated
+ unit name, <filename>user-.slice</filename>. For example, configuration in <filename
+ noindex='true'>/etc/systemd/system/user-.slice.d/resources.conf</filename> is included in all
+ <filename>user-<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.slice</filename> units, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for a discussion of the drop-in mechanism.</para>
+
+ <para>When a user logs in and a .scope unit is created for the session (see previous section),
+ the creation of the scope may be managed through
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pam_systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ This PAM module communicates with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-logind</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ to create the session scope and provide access to hardware resources. Resource limits for the
+ scope may be configured through the PAM module configuration, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>pam_systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ Configuring them through the normal unit configuration is also possible, but since
+ the name of the slice unit is generally unpredictable, this is less useful.</para>
+
+ <para>In general any resources that apply to units may be set for
+ <filename>user@<replaceable>UID</replaceable>.service</filename> and the slice
+ units discussed above, see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for an overview.</para>

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>The <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> file configures
+ the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping and console font. It is
+ applied at boot by udev using <filename>90-vconsole.rules</filename> file.
+ You can safely mask this file if you want to avoid this kind of initialization.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The basic file format of the
+ <filename>vconsole.conf</filename> is a newline-separated list of
+ environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
+ possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however,
+ beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported,
+ allowing applications to read the file without implementing a
+ shell compatible execution engine.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the kernel command line options
+ <varname>vconsole.keymap=</varname>,
+ <varname>vconsole.keymap_toggle=</varname>,
+ <varname>vconsole.font=</varname>,
+ <varname>vconsole.font_map=</varname>,
+ <varname>vconsole.font_unimap=</varname> may be used
+ to override the console settings at boot.</para>
+
+ <para>Depending on the operating system other configuration files
+ might be checked for configuration of the virtual console as well,
+ however only as fallback.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> is usually created and updated
