+
+ <para><command>systemd-escape</command> may be used to
+ escape strings for inclusion in systemd unit
+ names. The command may be used to escape and to undo
+ escaping of strings.</para>
+
+ <para>The command takes any number of strings on the
+ command line, and will process them individually, one
+ after the other. It will output them separated by
+ spaces to stdout.</para>
+
+ <para>By default this command will escape the strings
+ passed, unless <option>--unescape</option> is passed
+ which results in the inverse operation being
+ applied. If <option>--mangle</option> a special mode
+ of escaping is applied instead, which assumes a string
+ to be already escaped but will escape everything that
+ appears obviously non-escaped.</para>

+ <listitem><para>Appends the specified
+ unit type suffix to the escaped
+ string. Takes one of the unit types
