<title>Description</title>
<para>systemd is a system and session manager for
Linux operating systems. When run as first process on
boot (as PID 1) it may act as init system that brings
up and maintains userspace.</para>
<para>For compatibility with SysV if systemd is called
as <command>init</command> and a PID that is not
1 it will execute <command>telinit</command> and pass
all command line arguments unmodified. That means
<command>init</command> and <command>telinit</command>
are mostly equivalent when invoked from normal login sessions. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>telinit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information.</para>

<title>Options</title>
<para>The following options are understood:</para>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--running-as=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Tell systemd to run in
a particular mode. Argument is one of
<option>system</option>,
<option>session</option>. Normally it
should not be necessary to pass this
option, as systemd automatically
detects the mode it is started
in. This call is hence of little use
except for
debugging.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--test</option></term>
<listitem><para>Determine startup
sequence, dump it and exit. This is an
option useful for debugging
only.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--dump-configuration-items</option></term>
<listitem><para>Dump understood unit
configuration items. This outputs a
terse list of configuration items
understood in unit definition

<term><option>--introspect=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Extract D-Bus
interface introspection data. This is
mostly useful at build ot install time

repository. Optionally the interface
name for the introspection data may be

introspection data for all interfaces
is dumped.</para></listitem>
