+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <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 another. 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> is given, a
+ special mode of escaping is applied instead, which assumes the
+ string is already escaped but will escape everything that
+ appears obviously non-escaped.</para>

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--suffix=</option></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Appends the specified unit type suffix to the
+ escaped string. Takes one of the unit types supported by
+ systemd, such as <literal>.service</literal> or
+ <literal>.mount</literal>. May not be used in conjunction with
+ <option>--template=</option>, <option>--unescape</option> or
+ <option>--mangle</option>.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>--template=</option></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Inserts the escaped strings in a unit name
+ template. Takes a unit name template such as
+ <filename>foobar@.service</filename>. May not be used in
+ conjunction with <option>--suffix=</option>,
+ <option>--unescape</option> or

+ <listitem><para>When escaping or unescaping a string, assume
