+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> is
+ a system service that is pulled in by
+ <filename>suspend.target</filename> and is responsible
+ for the actual system suspend. Similar,
+ <filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename> is
+ pulled in by <filename>hibernate.target</filename> to
+ execute the actual hibernation. Finally,
+ <filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename> is
+ pulled in by <filename>hybrid-sleep.target</filename>
+ to execute hybrid hibernation with system
+ suspend.</para>
+
+ <para>Immediately before entering system suspend
+ and/or hibernation
+ <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> (and the
+ other mentioned units, respectively) will run all
+ executables in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename>
+ and pass two arguments to them. The first argument
+ will be "<literal>pre</literal>", the second either
+ "<literal>suspend</literal>",
+ "<literal>hibernate</literal>", or
+ "<literal>hybrid-sleep</literal>" depending on the
+ chosen action. Immediately after leaving system
+ suspend and/or hibernation the same executables are run,
+ but the first argument is now
+ "<literal>post</literal>". All executables in this
+ directory are executed in parallel, and execution of
+ the action is not continued before all executables
+ finished.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that scripts or binaries dropped in
+ <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename>
+ are intended for local use only and should be
+ considered hacks. If applications want to be notified
+ of system suspend/hibernation and resume there are
+ much nicer interfaces available.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that
+ <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename>,
+ <filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename> and
+ <filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename>
+ should never be executed directly. Instead, trigger
+ system sleep states with a command such as
+ "<literal>systemctl suspend</literal>" or
+ similar.</para>
+
+ <para>Internally, this service will echo a string like
+ <literal>mem</literal> into
+ <filename>/sys/power/state</filename>, to trigger the
+ actual system suspend.</para>
