+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+A few units are treated specially by systemd\&. Many of them have special internal semantics and cannot be renamed, while others simply have a standard meaning and should be present on all systems\&.
+.SH "UNITS MANAGED BY THE SYSTEM SERVICE MANAGER"
+.SS "Special System Units"
+.PP
+\-\&.mount
+.RS 4
+The root mount point, i\&.e\&. the mount unit for the
+/
+path\&. This unit is unconditionally active, during the entire time the system is up, as this mount point is where the basic userspace is running from\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+basic\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit covering basic boot\-up\&.
+.sp
+systemd automatically adds dependency of the type
+\fIAfter=\fR
+for this target unit to all services (except for those with
+\fIDefaultDependencies=no\fR)\&.
+.sp
+Usually, this should pull\-in all local mount points plus
+/var/,
+/tmp/
+and
+/var/tmp/, swap devices, sockets, timers, path units and other basic initialization necessary for general purpose daemons\&. The mentioned mount points are special cased to allow them to be remote\&.
+.sp
+This target usually does not pull in any non\-target units directly, but rather does so indirectly via other early boot targets\&. It is instead meant as a synchronization point for late boot services\&. Refer to
+\fBbootup\fR(7)
+for details on the targets involved\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+boot\-complete\&.target
+.RS 4
+This target is intended as generic synchronization point for services that shall determine or act on whether the boot process completed successfully\&. Order units that are required to succeed for a boot process to be considered successful before this unit, and add a
+\fIRequires=\fR
+dependency from the target unit to them\&. Order units that shall only run when the boot process is considered successful after the target unit and pull in the target from it, also with
+\fIRequires=\fR\&. Note that by default this target unit is not part of the initial boot transaction, but is supposed to be pulled in only if required by units that want to run only on successful boots\&.
+.sp
+See
+\fBsystemd-boot-check-no-failures.service\fR(8)
+for a service that implements a generic system health check and orders itself before
+boot\-complete\&.target\&.
+.sp
+See
+\fBsystemd-bless-boot.service\fR(8)
+for a service that propagates boot success information to the boot loader, and orders itself after
+boot\-complete\&.target\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+ctrl\-alt\-del\&.target
+.RS 4
+systemd starts this target whenever Control+Alt+Del is pressed on the console\&. Usually, this should be aliased (symlinked) to
+reboot\&.target\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+cryptsetup\&.target
+.RS 4
+A target that pulls in setup services for all encrypted block devices\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+veritysetup\&.target
+.RS 4
+A target that pulls in setup services for all verity integrity protected block devices\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+dbus\&.service
+.RS 4
+A special unit for the D\-Bus bus daemon\&. As soon as this service is fully started up systemd will connect to it and register its service\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+dbus\&.socket
+.RS 4
+A special unit for the D\-Bus system bus socket\&. All units with
+\fIType=dbus\fR
+automatically gain a dependency on this unit\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+default\&.target
+.RS 4
+The default unit systemd starts at bootup\&. Usually, this should be aliased (symlinked) to
+multi\-user\&.target
+or
+graphical\&.target\&. See
+\fBbootup\fR(7)
+for more discussion\&.
+.sp
+The default unit systemd starts at bootup can be overridden with the
+\fIsystemd\&.unit=\fR
+kernel command line option, or more conveniently, with the short names like
+\fIsingle\fR,
+\fIrescue\fR,
+\fI1\fR,
+\fI3\fR,
+\fI5\fR, \&...; see
+\fBsystemd\fR(1)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+display\-manager\&.service
+.RS 4
+The display manager service\&. Usually, this should be aliased (symlinked) to
+gdm\&.service
+or a similar display manager service\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+emergency\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit that starts an emergency shell on the main console\&. This target does not pull in other services or mounts\&. It is the most minimal version of starting the system in order to acquire an interactive shell; the only processes running are usually just the system manager (PID 1) and the shell process\&. This unit may be used by specifying
+\fIemergency\fR
+on the kernel command line; it is also used when a file system check on a required file system fails and boot\-up cannot continue\&. Compare with
+rescue\&.target, which serves a similar purpose, but also starts the most basic services and mounts all file systems\&.
+.sp
+In many ways booting into
+emergency\&.target
+is similar to the effect of booting with
+"init=/bin/sh"
+on the kernel command line, except that emergency mode provides you with the full system and service manager, and allows starting individual units in order to continue the boot process in steps\&.
+.sp
+Note that depending on how
+emergency\&.target
+is reached, the root file system might be mounted read\-only or read\-write (no remounting is done specially for this target)\&. For example, the system may boot with root mounted read\-only when
+\fIro\fR
+is used on the kernel command line and remain this way for
+emergency\&.target, or the system may transition to
+emergency\&.target
+after the system has been partially booted and disks have already been remounted read\-write\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+exit\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special service unit for shutting down the system or user service manager\&. It is equivalent to
+poweroff\&.target
+on non\-container systems, and also works in containers\&.
+.sp
+systemd will start this unit when it receives the
+\fBSIGTERM\fR
+or
+\fBSIGINT\fR
+signal when running as user service daemon\&.
+.sp
+Normally, this (indirectly) pulls in
+shutdown\&.target, which in turn should be conflicted by all units that want to be scheduled for shutdown when the service manager starts to exit\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+factory\-reset\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target to trigger a factory reset\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+final\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit that is used during the shutdown logic and may be used to pull in late services after all normal services are already terminated and all mounts unmounted\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+getty\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit that pulls in statically configured local TTY
+getty
+instances\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+graphical\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit for setting up a graphical login screen\&. This pulls in
+multi\-user\&.target\&.
+.sp
+Units that are needed for graphical logins shall add
+\fIWants=\fR
+dependencies for their unit to this unit (or
+multi\-user\&.target) during installation\&. This is best configured via
+\fIWantedBy=graphical\&.target\fR
+in the unit\*(Aqs [Install] section\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+hibernate\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit for hibernating the system\&. This pulls in
+sleep\&.target\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+hybrid\-sleep\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit for hibernating and suspending the system at the same time\&. This pulls in
+sleep\&.target\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+suspend\-then\-hibernate\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit for suspending the system for a period of time, waking it and putting it into hibernate\&. This pulls in
+sleep\&.target\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+halt\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit for shutting down and halting the system\&. Note that this target is distinct from
+poweroff\&.target
+in that it generally really just halts the system rather than powering it down\&.
+.sp
+Applications wanting to halt the system should not start this unit directly, but should instead execute
+\fBsystemctl halt\fR
+(possibly with the
+\fB\-\-no\-block\fR
+option) or call
+\fBsystemd\fR(1)\*(Aqs
+\fBorg\&.freedesktop\&.systemd1\&.Manager\&.Halt\fR
+D\-Bus method directly\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+init\&.scope
+.RS 4
+This scope unit is where the system and service manager (PID 1) itself resides\&. It is active as long as the system is running\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+initrd\&.target
+.RS 4
+This is the default target in the initrd, similar to
+default\&.target
+in the main system\&. It is used to mount the real root and transition to it\&. See
+\fBbootup\fR(7)
+for more discussion\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+initrd\-fs\&.target
+.RS 4
+\fBsystemd-fstab-generator\fR(3)
+automatically adds dependencies of type
+\fIBefore=\fR
+to
+sysroot\-usr\&.mount
+and all mount points found in
+/etc/fstab
+that have the
+\fBx\-initrd\&.mount\fR
+mount option set and do not have the
+\fBnoauto\fR
+mount option set\&. It is also indirectly ordered after
+sysroot\&.mount\&. Thus, once this target is reached the
+/sysroot/
+hierarchy is fully set up, in preparation for the transition to the host OS\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+initrd\-root\-device\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special initrd target unit that is reached when the root filesystem device is available, but before it has been mounted\&.
+\fBsystemd-fstab-generator\fR(3)
+and
+\fBsystemd-gpt-auto-generator\fR(3)
+automatically setup the appropriate dependencies to make this happen\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+initrd\-root\-fs\&.target
+.RS 4
+\fBsystemd-fstab-generator\fR(3)
+automatically adds dependencies of type
+\fIBefore=\fR
+to the
+sysroot\&.mount
+unit, which is generated from the kernel command line\*(Aqs
+\fIroot=\fR
+setting (or equivalent)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+initrd\-usr\-fs\&.target
+.RS 4
+\fBsystemd-fstab-generator\fR(3)
+automatically adds dependencies of type
+\fIBefore=\fR
+to the
+sysusr\-usr\&.mount
+unit, which is generated from the kernel command line\*(Aqs
+\fIusr=\fR
+switch\&. Services may order themselves after this target unit in order to run once the
+/sysusr/
+hierarchy becomes available, on systems that come up initially without a root file system, but with an initialized
+/usr/
+and need to access that before setting up the root file system to ultimately switch to\&. On systems where
+\fIusr=\fR
+is not used this target is ordered after
+sysroot\&.mount
+and thus mostly equivalent to
+initrd\-root\-fs\&.target\&. In effect on any system once this target is reached the file system backing
+/usr/
+is mounted, though possibly at two different locations, either below the
+/sysusr/
+or the
+/sysroot/
+hierarchies\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+kbrequest\&.target
+.RS 4
+systemd starts this target whenever Alt+ArrowUp is pressed on the console\&. Note that any user with physical access to the machine will be able to do this, without authentication, so this should be used carefully\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+kexec\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit for shutting down and rebooting the system via kexec\&.
+.sp
+Applications wanting to reboot the system should not start this unit directly, but should instead execute
+\fBsystemctl kexec\fR
+(possibly with the
+\fB\-\-no\-block\fR
+option) or call
+\fBsystemd-logind\fR(8)\*(Aqs
+\fBorg\&.freedesktop\&.login1\&.Manager\&.RebootWithFlags()\fR
+D\-Bus method directly\&.
+.sp
+See
+\fBsystemd-kexec.service\fR(8)
+for further details of the operation this target pulls in\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+local\-fs\&.target
+.RS 4
+\fBsystemd-fstab-generator\fR(3)
+automatically adds dependencies of type
+\fIBefore=\fR
+to all mount units that refer to local mount points for this target unit\&. In addition, it adds dependencies of type
+\fIWants=\fR
+to this target unit for those mounts listed in
+/etc/fstab
+that have the
+\fBauto\fR
+mount option set\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+machines\&.target
+.RS 4
+A standard target unit for starting all the containers and other virtual machines\&. See
+systemd\-nspawn@\&.service
+for an example\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+multi\-user\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit for setting up a multi\-user system (non\-graphical)\&. This is pulled in by
+graphical\&.target\&.
+.sp
+Units that are needed for a multi\-user system shall add
+\fIWants=\fR
+dependencies for their unit to this unit during installation\&. This is best configured via
+\fIWantedBy=multi\-user\&.target\fR
+in the unit\*(Aqs [Install] section\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+network\-online\&.target
+.RS 4
+Units that strictly require a configured network connection should pull in
+network\-online\&.target
+(via a
+\fIWants=\fR
+type dependency) and order themselves after it\&. This target unit is intended to pull in a service that delays further execution until the network is sufficiently set up\&. What precisely this requires is left to the implementation of the network managing service\&.
+.sp
+Note the distinction between this unit and
+network\&.target\&. This unit is an active unit (i\&.e\&. pulled in by the consumer rather than the provider of this functionality) and pulls in a service which possibly adds substantial delays to further execution\&. In contrast,
+network\&.target
+is a passive unit (i\&.e\&. pulled in by the provider of the functionality, rather than the consumer) that usually does not delay execution much\&. Usually,
+network\&.target
+is part of the boot of most systems, while
+network\-online\&.target
+is not, except when at least one unit requires it\&. Also see
+\m[blue]\fBRunning Services After the Network Is Up\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
+for more information\&.
+.sp
+All mount units for remote network file systems automatically pull in this unit, and order themselves after it\&. Note that networking daemons that simply
+\fIprovide\fR
+functionality to other hosts (as opposed to
+\fIconsume\fR
+functionality of other hosts) generally do not need to pull this in\&.
+.sp
+systemd automatically adds dependencies of type
+\fIWants=\fR
+and
+\fIAfter=\fR
+for this target unit to all SysV init script service units with an LSB header referring to the
+"$network"
+facility\&.
+.sp
+Note that this unit is only useful during the original system start\-up logic\&. After the system has completed booting up, it will not track the online state of the system anymore\&. Due to this it cannot be used as a network connection monitor concept, it is purely a one\-time system start\-up concept\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+paths\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit that sets up all path units (see
+\fBsystemd.path\fR(5)
+for details) that shall be active after boot\&.
+.sp
+It is recommended that path units installed by applications get pulled in via
+\fIWants=\fR
+dependencies from this unit\&. This is best configured via a
+\fIWantedBy=paths\&.target\fR
+in the path unit\*(Aqs [Install] section\&.
+.RE

+rescue\&.target
+.RS 4
+A special target unit that pulls in the base system (including system mounts) and spawns a rescue shell\&. Isolate to this target in order to administer the system in single\-user mode with all file systems mounted but with no services running, except for the most basic\&. Compare with
+emergency\&.target, which is much more reduced and does not provide the file systems or most basic services\&. Compare with
+multi\-user\&.target, this target could be seen as
+single\-user\&.target\&.

+runlevel1\&.target
+is an alias for this target unit, for compatibility with SysV\&.

+for details) that shall always be active after boot\&. By default the generic
+system\&.slice
+slice unit as well as the root slice unit
+\-\&.slice
+are pulled in and ordered before this unit (see below)\&.
+.sp
+Adding slice units to
+slices\&.target
+is generally not necessary\&. Instead, when some unit that uses
+\fISlice=\fR
+is started, the specified slice will be started automatically\&. Adding
+\fIWantedBy=slices\&.target\fR
