If neither +\fI$SYSTEMD_PAGER\fR +nor +\fI$PAGER\fR +are set, a set of well\-known pager implementations are tried in turn, including +\fBless\fR(1) +and +\fBmore\fR(1), until one is found\&. If no pager implementation is discovered no pager is invoked\&. Setting this environment variable to an empty string or the value +"cat" +is equivalent to passing +\fB\-\-no\-pager\fR\&. +.sp +Note: if +\fI$SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE\fR +is not set, +\fI$SYSTEMD_PAGER\fR +(as well as +\fI$PAGER\fR) will be silently ignored\&. +.RE +.PP +\fI$SYSTEMD_LESS\fR +.RS 4 +Override the options passed to +\fBless\fR +(by default +"FRSXMK")\&. +.sp +Users might want to change two options in particular: +.PP +\fBK\fR +.RS 4 +This option instructs the pager to exit immediately when +Ctrl+C +is pressed\&. To allow +\fBless\fR +to handle +Ctrl+C +itself to switch back to the pager command prompt, unset this option\&. +.sp +If the value of +\fI$SYSTEMD_LESS\fR +does not include +"K", and the pager that is invoked is +\fBless\fR, +Ctrl+C +will be ignored by the executable, and needs to be handled by the pager\&. +.RE +.PP +\fBX\fR +.RS 4 +This option instructs the pager to not send termcap initialization and deinitialization strings to the terminal\&. It is set by default to allow command output to remain visible in the terminal even after the pager exits\&. Nevertheless, this prevents some pager functionality from working, in particular paged output cannot be scrolled with the mouse\&. +.RE +.sp +See +\fBless\fR(1) +for more discussion\&. +.RE +.PP +\fI$SYSTEMD_LESSCHARSET\fR +.RS 4 +Override the charset passed to +\fBless\fR +(by default +"utf\-8", if the invoking terminal is determined to be UTF\-8 compatible)\&. +.RE +.PP +\fI$SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE\fR +.RS 4 +Takes a boolean argument\&. When true, the "secure" mode of the pager is enabled; if false, disabled\&. If +\fI$SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE\fR +is not set at all, secure mode is enabled if the effective UID is not the same as the owner of the login session, see +\fBgeteuid\fR(2) +and +\fBsd_pid_get_owner_uid\fR(3)\&. In secure mode, +\fBLESSSECURE=1\fR +will be set when invoking the pager, and the pager shall disable commands that open or create new files or start new subprocesses\&. When +\fI$SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE\fR +is not set at all, pagers which are not known to implement secure mode will not be used\&. (Currently only +\fBless\fR(1) +implements secure mode\&.) +.sp +Note: when commands are invoked with elevated privileges, for example under +\fBsudo\fR(8) +or +\fBpkexec\fR(1), care must be taken to ensure that unintended interactive features are not enabled\&. "Secure" mode for the pager may be enabled automatically as describe above\&. Setting +\fISYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE=0\fR +or not removing it from the inherited environment allows the user to invoke arbitrary commands\&. Note that if the +\fI$SYSTEMD_PAGER\fR +or +\fI$PAGER\fR +variables are to be honoured, +\fI$SYSTEMD_PAGERSECURE\fR +must be set too\&. It might be reasonable to completely disable the pager using +\fB\-\-no\-pager\fR +instead\&. +.RE +.PP +\fI$SYSTEMD_COLORS\fR +.RS 4 +Takes a boolean argument\&. When true, +\fBsystemd\fR +and related utilities will use colors in their output, otherwise the output will be monochrome\&. Additionally, the variable can take one of the following special values: +"16", +"256" +to restrict the use of colors to the base 16 or 256 ANSI colors, respectively\&. This can be specified to override the automatic decision based on +\fI$TERM\fR +and what the console is connected to\&. +.RE +.PP +\fI$SYSTEMD_URLIFY\fR +.RS 4 +The value must be a boolean\&. Controls whether clickable links should be generated in the output for terminal emulators supporting this\&. This can be specified to override the decision that +\fBsystemd\fR +makes based on +\fI$TERM\fR +and other conditions\&. +.RE +.SH "EXAMPLES" +.PP +\fBExample\ \&1.\ \&Run an Arch Linux VM image generated by mkosi\fR +.sp +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf +$ mkosi \-d arch \-p systemd \-p linux \-\-autologin \-o image\&.raw \-f build +$ systemd\-vmspawn \-\-image=image\&.raw + +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.SH "EXIT STATUS" +.PP +If an error occurred the value errno is propagated to the return code\&.
