+
+ <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
+ <literal>.socket</literal> encodes information about an IPC or
+ network socket or a file system FIFO controlled and supervised by
+ systemd, for socket-based activation.</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 socket specific configuration options are
+ configured in the [Socket] section.</para>
+
+ <para>Additional options are listed in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ which define the execution environment the
+ <option>ExecStartPre=</option>, <option>ExecStartPost=</option>,
+ <option>ExecStopPre=</option> and <option>ExecStopPost=</option>
+ commands are 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
+ socket.</para>
+
+ <para>For each socket unit, a matching service unit must exist,
+ describing the service to start on incoming traffic on the socket
+ (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information about .service units). The name of the
+ .service unit is by default the same as the name of the .socket
+ unit, but can be altered with the <option>Service=</option> option
+ 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
+ service <filename>foo.service</filename> if
+ <option>Accept=no</option> is set. If
+ <option>Accept=yes</option> is set, a service template
+ <filename>foo@.service</filename> must exist from which services
+ are instantiated for each incoming connection.</para>
+
+ <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 about the precise protocol used and the order in which the file descriptors are passed) or via
+ 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
+ restrictive configuration.</para>

+ <title>Options</title>
+
+ <para>Socket unit files may include [Unit] and [Install] sections, which are described in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Socket unit files must include a [Socket] section, which carries
+ information about the socket or FIFO it supervises. A number of
+ options that may be used in this section are shared with other
+ unit types. These options are documented in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ and
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ The options specific to the [Socket] section of socket units are
+ the following:</para>
+
+ <variablelist class='unit-directives'>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>ListenStream=</varname></term>
+ <term><varname>ListenDatagram=</varname></term>
+ <term><varname>ListenSequentialPacket=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Specifies an address to listen on for a stream
+ (<constant>SOCK_STREAM</constant>), datagram
+ (<constant>SOCK_DGRAM</constant>), or sequential packet
+ (<constant>SOCK_SEQPACKET</constant>) socket, respectively.
+ The address can be written in various formats:</para>
+
+ <para>If the address starts with a slash
+ (<literal>/</literal>), it is read as file system socket in
+ the <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> socket family.</para>
+
+ <para>If the address starts with an at symbol
+ (<literal>@</literal>), it is read as abstract namespace
+ socket in the <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> family. The
+ <literal>@</literal> is replaced with a
+ <constant>NUL</constant> character before binding. For
+ details, see
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>unix</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>If the address string is a single number, it is read as
+ port number to listen on via IPv6. Depending on the value of
+ <varname>BindIPv6Only=</varname> (see below) this might result
+ in the service being available via both IPv6 and IPv4
+ (default) or just via IPv6.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>If the address string is a string in the format
+ <literal><replaceable>v.w.x.y</replaceable>:<replaceable>z</replaceable></literal>, it is interpreted
+ as IPv4 address <replaceable>v.w.x.y</replaceable> and port <replaceable>z</replaceable>.</para>
+
+ <para>If the address string is a string in the format
+ <literal>[<replaceable>x</replaceable>]:<replaceable>y</replaceable></literal>, it is interpreted as
+ IPv6 address <replaceable>x</replaceable> and port <replaceable>y</replaceable>. An optional
+ interface scope (interface name or number) may be specified after a <literal>%</literal> symbol:
+ <literal>[<replaceable>x</replaceable>]:<replaceable>y</replaceable>%<replaceable>dev</replaceable></literal>.
+ Interface scopes are only useful with link-local addresses, because the kernel ignores them in other
+ cases. Note that if an address is specified as IPv6, it might still make the service available via
+ IPv4 too, depending on the <varname>BindIPv6Only=</varname> setting (see below).</para>
+
+ <para>If the address string is a string in the format
+ <literal>vsock:<replaceable>x</replaceable>:<replaceable>y</replaceable></literal>, it is read as CID
+ <replaceable>x</replaceable> on a port <replaceable>y</replaceable> address in the
+ <constant>AF_VSOCK</constant> family. The CID is a unique 32-bit integer identifier in
+ <constant>AF_VSOCK</constant> analogous to an IP address. Specifying the CID is optional, and may be
+ set to the empty string.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that <constant>SOCK_SEQPACKET</constant> (i.e.
+ <varname>ListenSequentialPacket=</varname>) is only available
+ for <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> sockets.
+ <constant>SOCK_STREAM</constant> (i.e.
+ <varname>ListenStream=</varname>) when used for IP sockets
+ refers to TCP sockets, <constant>SOCK_DGRAM</constant> (i.e.
+ <varname>ListenDatagram=</varname>) to UDP.</para>
+
+ <para>These options may be specified more than once, in which
+ case incoming traffic on any of the sockets will trigger
+ service activation, and all listed sockets will be passed to
+ the service, regardless of whether there is incoming traffic
+ on them or not. If the empty string is assigned to any of
+ these options, the list of addresses to listen on is reset,
+ all prior uses of any of these options will have no
+ effect.</para>
+
+ <para>It is also possible to have more than one socket unit
+ for the same service when using <varname>Service=</varname>,
+ and the service will receive all the sockets configured in all
+ the socket units. Sockets configured in one unit are passed in
+ the order of configuration, but no ordering between socket
+ units is specified.</para>
+
+ <para>If an IP address is used here, it is often desirable to
+ listen on it before the interface it is configured on is up
+ and running, and even regardless of whether it will be up and
+ running at any point. To deal with this, it is recommended to
+ set the <varname>FreeBind=</varname> option described
+ below.</para></listitem>
