.SH "NAME"
systemd-socket-activate \- Test socket activation of daemons
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBsystemd\-socket\-activate\fR\ 'u
\fBsystemd\-socket\-activate\fR [OPTIONS...] \fIdaemon\fR [OPTIONS...]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsystemd\-socket\-activate\fR
may be used to launch a socket\-activated service program from the command line for testing purposes\&. It may also be used to launch individual instances of the service program per connection\&.
.PP
The daemon to launch and its options should be specified after options intended for
\fBsystemd\-socket\-activate\fR\&.
.PP
If the
\fB\-\-inetd\fR
option is given, the socket file descriptor will be used as the standard input and output of the launched process\&. Otherwise, standard input and output will be inherited, and sockets will be passed through file descriptors 3 and higher\&. Sockets passed through
\fI$LISTEN_FDS\fR
to
\fBsystemd\-socket\-activate\fR
will be passed through to the daemon, in the original positions\&. Other sockets specified with
\fB\-\-listen=\fR
will use consecutive descriptors\&. By default,
\fBsystemd\-socket\-activate\fR
listens on a stream socket, use
\fB\-\-datagram\fR
and
\fB\-\-seqpacket\fR
to listen on datagram or sequential packet sockets instead (see below)\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-l \fR\fB\fIaddress\fR\fR, \fB\-\-listen=\fR\fB\fIaddress\fR\fR
.RS 4
Listen on this
\fIaddress\fR\&. Takes a string like
"2000"
or
"127\&.0\&.0\&.1:2001"\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-accept\fR
.RS 4
Launch an instance of the service program for each connection and pass the connection socket\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-datagram\fR
.RS 4
Listen on a datagram socket (\fBSOCK_DGRAM\fR), instead of a stream socket (\fBSOCK_STREAM\fR)\&. May not be combined with
\fB\-\-seqpacket\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-seqpacket\fR
.RS 4
Listen on a sequential packet socket (\fBSOCK_SEQPACKET\fR), instead of a stream socket (\fBSOCK_STREAM\fR)\&. May not be combined with
\fB\-\-datagram\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-inetd\fR
.RS 4
Use the inetd protocol for passing file descriptors, i\&.e\&. as standard input and standard output, instead of the new\-style protocol for passing file descriptors using
\fI$LISTEN_FDS\fR
(see above)\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-E \fR\fB\fIVAR\fR\fR\fB[=\fIVALUE\fR]\fR, \fB\-\-setenv=\fR\fB\fIVAR\fR\fR\fB[=\fIVALUE\fR]\fR
.RS 4
Add this variable to the environment of the launched process\&. If
\fIVAR\fR
is followed by
"=", assume that it is a variable\(envalue pair\&. Otherwise, obtain the value from the environment of
\fBsystemd\-socket\-activate\fR
itself\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-fdname=\fR\fINAME\fR[:\fINAME\fR\&...]
.RS 4
Specify names for the file descriptors passed\&. This is equivalent to setting
\fIFileDescriptorName=\fR
in socket unit files, and enables use of
\fBsd_listen_fds_with_names\fR(3)\&. Multiple entries may be specifies using separate options or by separating names with colons (":") in one option\&. In case more names are given than descriptors, superfluous ones will be ignored\&. In case less names are given than descriptors, the remaining file descriptors will be unnamed\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
.RS 4
Print a short help text and exit\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-version\fR
.RS 4
Print a short version string and exit\&.
.RE
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
.PP
\fI$LISTEN_FDS\fR, \fI$LISTEN_PID\fR, \fI$LISTEN_FDNAMES\fR
.RS 4
