                <para>A unit configuration file encodes information
                about a service, a socket, a device, a mount point, an
                automount point, a swap file or partition, a start-up
                target, a watched file system path, a timer controlled
                and supervised by
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
                a temporary system state snapshot, a resource
                management slice or a group of externally created
                processes. The syntax is inspired by <ulink
                url="http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/">XDG
                Desktop Entry Specification</ulink>
                <filename>.desktop</filename> files, which are in turn
                inspired by Microsoft Windows
                <filename>.ini</filename> files.</para>

                <para>This man page lists the common configuration
                options of all the unit types. These options need to
                be configured in the [Unit] or [Install]
                sections of the unit files.</para>

                <para>In addition to the generic [Unit] and [Install]
                sections described here, each unit may have a
                type-specific section, e.g. [Service] for a service
                unit. See the respective man pages for more
                information:

                </para>

                <para>Various settings are allowed to be specified
                more than once, in which case the interpretation
                depends on the setting. Often, multiple settings form
                a list, and setting to an empty value "resets", which
                means that previous assignments are ignored. When this
                is allowed, it is mentioned in the description of the
                setting. Note that using multiple assignments to the
                same value makes the unit file incompatible with
                parsers for the XDG <filename>.desktop</filename> file
                format.</para>

                <para>Unit files are loaded from a set of paths
                determined during compilation, described in the next section.
                </para>

                <para>Unit files may contain additional options on top
                of those listed here. If systemd encounters an unknown
                option, it will write a warning log message but
                continue loading the unit. If an option or section name
                is prefixed with <option>X-</option>, it is ignored
                completely by systemd. Options within an ignored
                section do not need the prefix. Applications may use
                this to include additional information in the unit
                files.</para>

                <para>Boolean arguments used in unit files can be
                written in various formats. For positive settings the
                strings <option>1</option>, <option>yes</option>,
                <option>true</option> and <option>on</option> are
                equivalent. For negative settings, the strings
                <option>0</option>, <option>no</option>,
                <option>false</option> and <option>off</option> are
                equivalent.</para>

                <para>Time span values encoded in unit files can be
                written in various formats. A stand-alone number
                specifies a time in seconds. If suffixed with a time
                unit, the unit is honored. A concatenation of multiple
                values with units is supported, in which case the
                values are added up. Example: "50" refers to 50
                seconds; "2min 200ms" refers to 2 minutes plus 200
                milliseconds, i.e. 120200ms. The following time units
                are understood: s, min, h, d, w, ms, us. For details
                see
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

                <para>Empty lines and lines starting with # or ; are
                ignored. This may be used for commenting. Lines ending
                in a backslash are concatenated with the following
                line while reading and the backslash is replaced by a
                space character. This may be used to wrap long lines.</para>

                <para>Along with a unit file
                <filename>foo.service</filename>, the directory
                <filename>foo.service.wants/</filename> may exist. All
                unit files symlinked from such a directory are
                implicitly added as dependencies of type
                <varname>Wanted=</varname> to the unit. This is useful
                to hook units into the start-up of other units,
                without having to modify their unit files. For details
                about the semantics of <varname>Wanted=</varname>, see
                below. The preferred way to create symlinks in the
                <filename>.wants/</filename> directory of a unit file
                is with the <command>enable</command> command of the
                <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
                tool which reads information from the [Install]
                section of unit files (see below). A similar
                functionality exists for <varname>Requires=</varname>
                type dependencies as well, the directory suffix is
                <filename>.requires/</filename> in this case.</para>

                <para>Along with a unit file
                <filename>foo.service</filename>, a directory
                <filename>foo.service.d/</filename> may exist. All
                files with the suffix <literal>.conf</literal> from
                this directory will be parsed after the file itself is
                parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration
                settings to a unit, without having to modify their
                unit files. Make sure that the file that is included
                has the appropriate section headers before any
                directive.</para>

                <para>Note that while systemd offers a flexible
                dependency system between units it is recommended to
                use this functionality only sparingly and instead rely
                on techniques such as bus-based or socket-based
                activation which make dependencies implicit, resulting
                in a both simpler and more flexible system.</para>

                <para>Some unit names reflect paths existing in the
                file system namespace. Example: a device unit
                <filename>dev-sda.device</filename> refers to a device
                with the device node <filename noindex='true'>/dev/sda</filename> in
                the file system namespace. If this applies, a special
                way to escape the path name is used, so that the
                result is usable as part of a filename. Basically,
                given a path, "/" is replaced by "-", and all
                unprintable characters and the "-" are replaced by
                C-style "\x20" escapes. The root directory "/" is
                encoded as single dash, while otherwise the initial
                and ending "/" is removed from all paths during
                transformation. This escaping is reversible.</para>

                <para>Optionally, units may be instantiated from a
                template file at runtime. This allows creation of
                multiple units from a single configuration file. If
                systemd looks for a unit configuration file, it will
                first search for the literal unit name in the
                file system. If that yields no success and the unit
                name contains an <literal>@</literal> character, systemd will look for a
                unit template that shares the same name but with the
                instance string (i.e. the part between the <literal>@</literal> character
                and the suffix) removed. Example: if a service
                <filename>getty@tty3.service</filename> is requested
                and no file by that name is found, systemd will look
                for <filename>getty@.service</filename> and
                instantiate a service from that configuration file if
                it is found.</para>

                <para>To refer to the instance string from
                within the configuration file you may use the special
                <literal>%i</literal> specifier in many of the
                configuration options. See below for details.</para>

                <para>If a unit file is empty (i.e. has the file size
                0) or is symlinked to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
                its configuration will not be loaded and it appears
                with a load state of <literal>masked</literal>, and
                cannot be activated. Use this as an effective way to
                fully disable a unit, making it impossible to start it
                even manually.</para>

                <para>The unit file format is covered by the

                <title>Unit Load Path</title>

                <para>Unit files are loaded from a set of paths
                determined during compilation, described in the two
                tables below. Unit files found in directories listed
                earlier override files with the same name in
                directories lower in the list.</para>

                                a common pattern to include a unit
                                name in both the

                                started before the unit that is
                                configured with these options. This
                                option may be specified more than
                                once, in which case ordering

                                created. <varname>After=</varname> is
                                the inverse of
                                <varname>Before=</varname>, i.e. while
                                <varname>After=</varname> ensures that
                                the configured unit is started after
                                the listed unit finished starting up,
                                <varname>Before=</varname> ensures the
                                opposite, i.e.  that the configured
                                unit is fully started up before the
                                listed unit is started. Note that when
                                two units with an ordering dependency
                                between them are shut down, the
                                inverse of the start-up order is
                                applied. i.e. if a unit is configured
                                with <varname>After=</varname> on
                                another unit, the former is stopped
                                before the latter if both are shut
                                down. If one unit with an ordering
                                dependency on another unit is shut
                                down while the latter is started up,
                                the shut down is ordered before the
                                start-up regardless of whether the
                                ordering dependency is actually of
                                type <varname>After=</varname> or
                                <varname>Before=</varname>. If two

                                between them, they are shut down or
                                started up simultaneously, and no
                                ordering takes

                                systemd will not stop units by default
