+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+Generators are small executables that live in
+/usr/lib/systemd/system\-environment\-generators/
+and other directories listed above\&.
+\fBsystemd\fR(1)
+will execute those binaries very early at the startup of each manager and at configuration reload time, before running the generators described in
+\fBsystemd.generator\fR(7)
+and before starting any units\&. Environment generators can override the environment that the manager exports to services and other processes\&.
+.PP
+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
+system\-environment\-generators/
+and
+user\-environment\-generators/, respectively\&. Generators found in directories listed earlier override the ones with the same name in directories lower in the list\&. A symlink to
+/dev/null
+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
+/run/
+overwrite those in
+/etc/\&.
+.PP
+After installing new generators or updating the configuration,
+\fBsystemctl daemon\-reload\fR
+may be executed\&. This will re\-run all generators, updating environment configuration\&. It will be used for any services that are started subsequently\&.
+.PP
+Environment file generators are executed similarly to unit file generators described in
+\fBsystemd.generator\fR(7), with the following differences:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.ie n \{\
+\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
+.\}
+.el \{\
+.sp -1
+.IP \(bu 2.3
+.\}
+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\&.
+.RE
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.ie n \{\
+\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
+.\}
+.el \{\
+.sp -1
+.IP \(bu 2.3
+.\}
+Generators are run by every manager instance, their output can be different for each user\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+It is recommended to use numerical prefixes for generator names to simplify ordering\&.
