+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>nss-systemd</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the
+ GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), providing UNIX user and group name resolution for dynamic users and
+ groups allocated through the <varname>DynamicUser=</varname> option in systemd unit files. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details on
+ this option.</para>
+
+ <para>This module also ensures that the root and nobody users and groups (i.e. the users/groups with the UIDs/GIDs
+ 0 and 65534) remain resolvable at all times, even if they aren't listed in <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> or
+ <filename>/etc/group</filename>, or if these files are missing.</para>
+
+ <para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>systemd</literal> to the lines starting with
+ <literal>passwd:</literal> and <literal>group:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to place <literal>systemd</literal> after the <literal>files</literal> or

+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> adds a peer to track to a bus peer tracking object. The first
+ argument should refer to a bus peer tracking object created with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_new</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>, the second
+ name should refer to a D-Bus peer name to track, either in unique or well-known service format. If the name is not
+ tracked yet it will be added to the list of names to track. If it already is being tracked and non-recursive mode
+ is enabled, no operation is executed by this call. If recursive mode is enabled a per-name counter is increased by
+ one each time this call is invoked, and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> has to be called as many
+ times as <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was invoked before in order to stop tracking of the name. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_set_recursive</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
+ switch from the default non-recursive mode to recursive mode, or back. Note that the specified name is tracked as
+ it is, well-known names are not resolved to unique names by this call. Note that multiple bus peer tracking objects
+ may track the same name.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> undoes the effect of
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and removes a bus peer name from the list of peers to watch. Depending
+ on whether non-recursive or recursive mode is enabled for the bus peer tracking object this call will either remove
+ the name fully from the tracking object, or will simply decrement the per-name counter by one, removing the name
+ only when the counter reaches zero (see above). Note that a bus peer disconnecting from the bus will implicitly
+ remove its names fully from the bus peer tracking object, regardless of the current per-name counter.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function> are
+ similar to <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> but
+ take a bus message as argument. The sender of this bus message is determined and added to/removed from the bus peer
+ tracking object. As messages always originate from unique names, and never from well-known names this means that
+ this call will effectively only add unique names to the bus peer tracking object.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_count()</function> returns the number of names currently being tracked by the
+ specified bus peer tracking object. Note that this function always returns the actual number of names tracked, and
+ hence if <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> has been invoked multiple times for the same name it is only
+ counted as one, regardless if recursive mode is used or not.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function> returns the current per-name counter for the specified
+ name. If non-recursive mode is used this returns either 1 or 0, depending on whether the specified name has been
+ added to the tracking object before, or not. If recursive mode has been enabled, values larger than 1 may be
+ returned too, in case <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> has been called multiple times for the same
+ name.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_count_sender()</function> is similar to
+ <function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function>, but takes a bus message object and returns the per-name counter
+ matching the sender of the message.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_contains()</function> may be used to determine whether the specified name has been
+ added at least once to the specified bus peer tracking object.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> may be used to
+ enumerate all names currently being tracked by the passed bus peer tracking
+ object. <function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> returns the first entry in the object, and resets an internally
+ maintained read index. Each subsequent invocation of <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> returns the next name
+ contained in the bus object. If the end is reached <constant>NULL</constant> is returned. If no names have been
+ added to the object yet <function>sd_bus_track_first()</function> will return <constant>NULL</constant>
+ immediately. The order in which names are returned is undefined; in particular which name is considered the first
+ returned is not defined. If recursive mode is enabled and the same name has been added multiple times to the bus
+ peer tracking object it is only returned once by this enumeration. If new names are added to or existing names
+ removed from the bus peer tracking object while it is being enumerated the enumeration ends on the next invocation
+ of <function>sd_bus_track_next()</function> as <constant>NULL</constant> is returned.</para>

+ <title>Return Value</title>
+
+ <para>On success, <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function>
+ return 0 if the specified name has already been added to the bus peer tracking object before and positive if it
+ hasn't. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function> return
+ positive if the specified name was previously tracked by the bus peer tracking object and has now been removed. In
+ non-recursive mode, 0 is returned if the specified name was not being tracked yet. In recursive mode
+ <constant>-EUNATCH</constant> is returned in this case. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error
+ code.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_count()</function> returns the number of names currently being tracked, or 0 on
+ failure.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_count_name()</function> and <function>sd_bus_track_count_sender()</function> return
+ the current per-name counter for the specified name or the sender of the specified message. Zero is returned for
+ names that are not being tracked yet, a positive value for names added at least once. Larger values than 1 are only
+ returned in recursive mode. On failure, a negative errno-style error code is returned.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_contains()</function> returns the passed name if it exists in the bus peer tracking
+ object. On failure, and if the name has not been added yet <constant>NULL</constant> is returned.</para>

+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> creates a new bus peer tracking object. The object is allocated for
+ the specified bus, and returned in the <parameter>*ret</parameter> parameter. After use, the object should be freed
+ again by dropping the acquired reference with <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> (see below). A bus peer
+ tracking object may be used to keep track of peers on a specific IPC bus, for cases where peers are making use of
+ one or more local objects, in order to control the lifecycle of the local objects and ensure they stay around as
+ long as the peers needing them are around, and unreferenced (and possibly destroyed) as soon as all relevant peers
+ have vanished. Each bus peer tracking object may be used to track zero, one or more peers add a time. References to
+ specific bus peers are added via
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_track_add_name</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_sender()</function>. They may be dropped again via
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_sender()</function>. Alternatively, references on peers are removed automatically
+ when they disconnect from the bus. If non-NULL the <parameter>handler</parameter> may specify a function that is
+ invoked whenever the last reference is dropped, regardless whether the reference is dropped explicitly via
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> or implicitly because the peer disconnected from the bus. The final
+ argument <parameter>userdata</parameter> may be used to attach a generic user data pointer to the object. This
+ pointer is passed to the handler callback when it is invoked.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function> creates a new reference to a bus peer tracking object. This object
+ will not be destroyed until <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> has been called as many times plus once
+ more. Once the reference count has dropped to zero, the specified object cannot be used anymore, further calls to
+ <function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function> or <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> on the same object are
+ illegal.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> destroys a reference to a bus peer tracking object.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_unrefp()</function> is similar to <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> but takes
+ a pointer to a pointer to an <type>sd_bus_track</type> object. This call is useful in conjunction with GCC's and
+ LLVM's <ulink url="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html">Clean-up Variable
+ Attribute</ulink>. Note that this function is defined as inline function.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_ref()</function>, <function>sd_bus_track_unref()</function> and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_unrefp()</function> execute no operation if the passed in bus peer tracking object is
+ <constant>NULL</constant>.</para>
+
+ <para>Bus peer tracking objects may exist in two modes: by default they operate in non-recursive mode, but may
+ optionally be switched into recursive mode. If operating in the default non-recursive mode a peer is either tracked
+ or not tracked. In this mode invoking <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> multiple times in a row for the
+ same peer is fully equivalent to calling it just once, as the call adds the peer to the set of tracked peers if
+ necessary, and executes no operation if the peer is already being tracked. A single invocation of
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> removes the reference on the peer again, regardless how many times
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was called before. If operating in recursive mode, the number of times
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> is invoked for the same peer name is counted and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_remove_name()</function> must be called the same number of times before the peer is not
+ tracked anymore, with the exception when the tracked peer vanishes from the bus, in which case the count is
+ irrelevant and the tracking of the specific peer is immediately
+ removed. <function>sd_bus_track_get_recursive()</function> may be used to determine whether the bus peer tracking
+ object is operating in recursive mode. <function>sd_bus_track_set_recursive()</function> may be used to enable or
+ disable recursive mode. By default a bus peer tracking object operates in non-recursive mode, and
+ <function>sd_bus_track_get_recursive()</function> for a newly allocated object hence returns a value equal to
+ zero. Use <function>sd_bus_track_set_recursive()</function> to enable recursive mode, right after allocation. It
+ takes a boolean argument to enable or disable recursive mode. Note that tracking objects for which
+ <function>sd_bus_track_add_name()</function> was already invoked at least once (and which hence track already one
+ or more peers) may not be switched from recursive to non-recursive mode anymore.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_get_bus()</function> returns the bus object the bus peer tracking object belongs
+ to. It returns the bus object initially passed to <function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> when the object was
+ allocated.</para>
+
+ <para><function>sd_bus_track_get_userdata()</function> returns the generic user data pointer set on the bus peer
+ tracking object at the time of creation using <function>sd_bus_track_new()</function> or at a later time, using
+ <function>sd_bus_track_set_userdata()</function>.</para>

+ <filename>.automount</filename> unit of the file system <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable> on the mount point
+ <replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>.</para>
+
+ <para>In many ways, <command>systemd-mount</command> is similar to the lower-level
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> command, however instead
+ of executing the mount operation directly and immediately, <command>systemd-mount</command> schedules it through
+ the service manager job queue, so that it may pull in further dependencies (such as parent mounts, or a file system
+ checker to execute a priori), and may make use of the auto-mounting logic.</para>
+
+ <para>The command takes either one or two arguments. If only one argument is specified it should refer to a block
+ device containing a file system (e.g. <literal>/dev/sdb1</literal>), which is then probed for a label and other
+ metadata, and is mounted to a directory whose name is generated from the label. In this mode the block device must
+ exist at the time of invocation of the command, so that it may be probed. If the device is found to be a removable
+ block device (e.g. a USB stick) an automount point instead of a regular mount point is created (i.e. the
+ <option>--automount=</option> option is implied, see below).</para>
+
+ <para>If two arguments are specified the first indicates the mount source (the <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable>) and
+ the second indicates the path to mount it on (the <replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>). In this mode no probing of the
+ source is attempted, and a backing device node doesn't have to exist yet. However, if this mode is combined with
+ <option>--discover</option>, device node probing for additional metadata is enabled, and – much like in the
+ single-argument case discussed above – the specified device has to exist at the time of invocation of the
+ command.</para>

+ enabled for a unit, the name of the dynamic user/group is implicitly derived from the unit name. If the unit
+ name without the type suffix qualifies as valid user name it is used directly, otherwise a name incorporating a
+ hash of it is used. If a statically allocated user or group of the configured name already exists, it is used
+ and no dynamic user/group is allocated. Dynamic users/groups are allocated from the UID/GID range
+ 61184…65519. It is recommended to avoid this range for regular system or login users. At any point in time
+ each UID/GID from this range is only assigned to zero or one dynamically allocated users/groups in
