NAME

       systemd.exec - Execution environment configuration

SYNOPSIS

       service.service, socket.socket, mount.mount, swap.swap

DESCRIPTION

       Unit configuration files for services, sockets, mount points, and swap devices share a
       subset of configuration options which define the execution environment of spawned
       processes.

       This man page lists the configuration options shared by these four unit types. See
       systemd.unit(5) for the common options of all unit configuration files, and
       systemd.service(5), systemd.socket(5), systemd.swap(5), and systemd.mount(5) for more
       information on the specific unit configuration files. The execution specific configuration
       options are configured in the [Service], [Socket], [Mount], or [Swap] sections, depending
       on the unit type.

       In addition, options which control resources through Linux Control Groups (cgroups) are
       listed in systemd.resource-control(5). Those options complement options listed here.

IMPLICIT DEPENDENCIES

       A few execution parameters result in additional, automatic dependencies to be added:

       •   Units with WorkingDirectory=, RootDirectory=, RootImage=, RuntimeDirectory=,
           StateDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, LogsDirectory= or ConfigurationDirectory= set
           automatically gain dependencies of type Requires= and After= on all mount units
           required to access the specified paths. This is equivalent to having them listed
           explicitly in RequiresMountsFor=.

       •   Similar, units with PrivateTmp= enabled automatically get mount unit dependencies for
           all mounts required to access /tmp and /var/tmp. They will also gain an automatic
           After= dependency on systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service(8).

       •   Units whose standard output or error output is connected to journal, syslog or kmsg
           (or their combinations with console output, see below) automatically acquire
           dependencies of type After= on systemd-journald.socket.

       •   Units using LogNamespace= will automatically gain ordering and requirement
           dependencies on the two socket units associated with systemd-journald@.service
           instances.

PATHS

       The following settings may be used to change a service's view of the filesystem. Please
       note that the paths must be absolute and must not contain a ".."  path component.

       WorkingDirectory=
           Takes a directory path relative to the service's root directory specified by
           RootDirectory=, or the special value "~". Sets the working directory for executed
           processes. If set to "~", the home directory of the user specified in User= is used.
           If not set, defaults to the root directory when systemd is running as a system
           instance and the respective user's home directory if run as user. If the setting is
           prefixed with the "-" character, a missing working directory is not considered fatal.
           If RootDirectory=/RootImage= is not set, then WorkingDirectory= is relative to the
           root of the system running the service manager. Note that setting this parameter might
           result in additional dependencies to be added to the unit (see above).

       RootDirectory=
           Takes a directory path relative to the host's root directory (i.e. the root of the
           system running the service manager). Sets the root directory for executed processes,
           with the chroot(2) system call. If this is used, it must be ensured that the process
           binary and all its auxiliary files are available in the chroot() jail. Note that
           setting this parameter might result in additional dependencies to be added to the unit
           (see above).

           The MountAPIVFS= and PrivateUsers= settings are particularly useful in conjunction
           with RootDirectory=. For details, see below.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       RootImage=
           Takes a path to a block device node or regular file as argument. This call is similar
           to RootDirectory= however mounts a file system hierarchy from a block device node or
           loopback file instead of a directory. The device node or file system image file needs
           to contain a file system without a partition table, or a file system within an
           MBR/MS-DOS or GPT partition table with only a single Linux-compatible partition, or a
           set of file systems within a GPT partition table that follows the Discoverable
           Partitions Specification[1].

           When DevicePolicy= is set to "closed" or "strict", or set to "auto" and DeviceAllow=
           is set, then this setting adds /dev/loop-control with rw mode, "block-loop" and
           "block-blkext" with rwm mode to DeviceAllow=. See systemd.resource-control(5) for the
           details about DevicePolicy= or DeviceAllow=. Also, see PrivateDevices= below, as it
           may change the setting of DevicePolicy=.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       MountAPIVFS=
           Takes a boolean argument. If on, a private mount namespace for the unit's processes is
           created and the API file systems /proc, /sys, and /dev are mounted inside of it,
           unless they are already mounted. Note that this option has no effect unless used in
           conjunction with RootDirectory=/RootImage= as these three mounts are generally mounted
           in the host anyway, and unless the root directory is changed, the private mount
           namespace will be a 1:1 copy of the host's, and include these three mounts. Note that
           the /dev file system of the host is bind mounted if this option is used without
           PrivateDevices=. To run the service with a private, minimal version of /dev/, combine
           this option with PrivateDevices=.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       BindPaths=, BindReadOnlyPaths=
           Configures unit-specific bind mounts. A bind mount makes a particular file or
           directory available at an additional place in the unit's view of the file system. Any
           bind mounts created with this option are specific to the unit, and are not visible in
           the host's mount table. This option expects a whitespace separated list of bind mount
           definitions. Each definition consists of a colon-separated triple of source path,
           destination path and option string, where the latter two are optional. If only a
           source path is specified the source and destination is taken to be the same. The
           option string may be either "rbind" or "norbind" for configuring a recursive or
           non-recursive bind mount. If the destination path is omitted, the option string must
           be omitted too. Each bind mount definition may be prefixed with "-", in which case it
           will be ignored when its source path does not exist.

           BindPaths= creates regular writable bind mounts (unless the source file system mount
           is already marked read-only), while BindReadOnlyPaths= creates read-only bind mounts.
           These settings may be used more than once, each usage appends to the unit's list of
           bind mounts. If the empty string is assigned to either of these two options the entire
           list of bind mounts defined prior to this is reset. Note that in this case both
           read-only and regular bind mounts are reset, regardless which of the two settings is
           used.

           This option is particularly useful when RootDirectory=/RootImage= is used. In this
           case the source path refers to a path on the host file system, while the destination
           path refers to a path below the root directory of the unit.

           Note that the destination directory must exist or systemd must be able to create it.
           Thus, it is not possible to use those options for mount points nested underneath paths
           specified in InaccessiblePaths=, or under /home/ and other protected directories if
           ProtectHome=yes is specified.  TemporaryFileSystem= with ":ro" or ProtectHome=tmpfs
           should be used instead.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

CREDENTIALS

       These options are only available for system services and are not supported for services
       running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       User=, Group=
           Set the UNIX user or group that the processes are executed as, respectively. Takes a
           single user or group name, or a numeric ID as argument. For system services (services
           run by the system service manager, i.e. managed by PID 1) and for user services of the
           root user (services managed by root's instance of systemd --user), the default is
           "root", but User= may be used to specify a different user. For user services of any
           other user, switching user identity is not permitted, hence the only valid setting is
           the same user the user's service manager is running as. If no group is set, the
           default group of the user is used. This setting does not affect commands whose command
           line is prefixed with "+".

           Note that this enforces only weak restrictions on the user/group name syntax, but will
           generate warnings in many cases where user/group names do not adhere to the following
           rules: the specified name should consist only of the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, "_" and
           "-", except for the first character which must be one of a-z, A-Z and "_" (i.e. digits
           and "-" are not permitted as first character). The user/group name must have at least
           one character, and at most 31. These restrictions are made in order to avoid
           ambiguities and to ensure user/group names and unit files remain portable among Linux
           systems. For further details on the names accepted and the names warned about see
           User/Group Name Syntax[2].

           When used in conjunction with DynamicUser= the user/group name specified is
           dynamically allocated at the time the service is started, and released at the time the
           service is stopped — unless it is already allocated statically (see below). If
           DynamicUser= is not used the specified user and group must have been created
           statically in the user database no later than the moment the service is started, for
           example using the sysusers.d(5) facility, which is applied at boot or package install
           time. If the user does not exist by then program invocation will fail.

           If the User= setting is used the supplementary group list is initialized from the
           specified user's default group list, as defined in the system's user and group
           database. Additional groups may be configured through the SupplementaryGroups= setting
           (see below).

       DynamicUser=
           Takes a boolean parameter. If set, a UNIX user and group pair is allocated dynamically
           when the unit is started, and released as soon as it is stopped. The user and group
           will not be added to /etc/passwd or /etc/group, but are managed transiently during
           runtime. The nss-systemd(8) glibc NSS module provides integration of these dynamic
           users/groups into the system's user and group databases. The user and group name to
           use may be configured via User= and Group= (see above). If these options are not used
           and dynamic user/group allocation is 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.
           Note that if User= is specified and the static group with the name exists, then it is
           required that the static user with the name already exists. Similarly, if Group= is
           specified and the static user with the name exists, then it is required that the
           static group with the name already exists. 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 use. However, UID/GIDs are recycled
           after a unit is terminated. Care should be taken that any processes running as part of
           a unit for which dynamic users/groups are enabled do not leave files or directories
           owned by these users/groups around, as a different unit might get the same UID/GID
           assigned later on, and thus gain access to these files or directories. If DynamicUser=
           is enabled, RemoveIPC= and PrivateTmp= are implied (and cannot be turned off). This
           ensures that the lifetime of IPC objects and temporary files created by the executed
           processes is bound to the runtime of the service, and hence the lifetime of the
           dynamic user/group. Since /tmp/ and /var/tmp/ are usually the only world-writable
           directories on a system this ensures that a unit making use of dynamic user/group
           allocation cannot leave files around after unit termination. Furthermore
           NoNewPrivileges= and RestrictSUIDSGID= are implicitly enabled (and cannot be
           disabled), to ensure that processes invoked cannot take benefit or create SUID/SGID
           files or directories. Moreover ProtectSystem=strict and ProtectHome=read-only are
           implied, thus prohibiting the service to write to arbitrary file system locations. In
           order to allow the service to write to certain directories, they have to be
           whitelisted using ReadWritePaths=, but care must be taken so that UID/GID recycling
           doesn't create security issues involving files created by the service. Use
           RuntimeDirectory= (see below) in order to assign a writable runtime directory to a
           service, owned by the dynamic user/group and removed automatically when the unit is
           terminated. Use StateDirectory=, CacheDirectory= and LogsDirectory= in order to assign
           a set of writable directories for specific purposes to the service in a way that they
           are protected from vulnerabilities due to UID reuse (see below). If this option is
           enabled, care should be taken that the unit's processes do not get access to
           directories outside of these explicitly configured and managed ones. Specifically, do
           not use BindPaths= and be careful with AF_UNIX file descriptor passing for directory
           file descriptors, as this would permit processes to create files or directories owned
           by the dynamic user/group that are not subject to the lifecycle and access guarantees
           of the service. Defaults to off.

       SupplementaryGroups=
           Sets the supplementary Unix groups the processes are executed as. This takes a
           space-separated list of group names or IDs. This option may be specified more than
           once, in which case all listed groups are set as supplementary groups. When the empty
           string is assigned, the list of supplementary groups is reset, and all assignments
           prior to this one will have no effect. In any way, this option does not override, but
           extends the list of supplementary groups configured in the system group database for
           the user. This does not affect commands prefixed with "+".

       PAMName=
           Sets the PAM service name to set up a session as. If set, the executed process will be
           registered as a PAM session under the specified service name. This is only useful in
           conjunction with the User= setting, and is otherwise ignored. If not set, no PAM
           session will be opened for the executed processes. See pam(8) for details.

           Note that for each unit making use of this option a PAM session handler process will
           be maintained as part of the unit and stays around as long as the unit is active, to
           ensure that appropriate actions can be taken when the unit and hence the PAM session
           terminates. This process is named "(sd-pam)" and is an immediate child process of the
           unit's main process.

           Note that when this option is used for a unit it is very likely (depending on PAM
           configuration) that the main unit process will be migrated to its own session scope
           unit when it is activated. This process will hence be associated with two units: the
           unit it was originally started from (and for which PAMName= was configured), and the
           session scope unit. Any child processes of that process will however be associated
           with the session scope unit only. This has implications when used in combination with
           NotifyAccess=all, as these child processes will not be able to affect changes in the
           original unit through notification messages. These messages will be considered
           belonging to the session scope unit and not the original unit. It is hence not
           recommended to use PAMName= in combination with NotifyAccess=all.

CAPABILITIES

       These options are only available for system services and are not supported for services
       running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       CapabilityBoundingSet=
           Controls which capabilities to include in the capability bounding set for the executed
           process. See capabilities(7) for details. Takes a whitespace-separated list of
           capability names, e.g.  CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE, CAP_SYS_PTRACE. Capabilities
           listed will be included in the bounding set, all others are removed. If the list of
           capabilities is prefixed with "~", all but the listed capabilities will be included,
           the effect of the assignment inverted. Note that this option also affects the
           respective capabilities in the effective, permitted and inheritable capability sets.
           If this option is not used, the capability bounding set is not modified on process
           execution, hence no limits on the capabilities of the process are enforced. This
           option may appear more than once, in which case the bounding sets are merged by OR, or
           by AND if the lines are prefixed with "~" (see below). If the empty string is assigned
           to this option, the bounding set is reset to the empty capability set, and all prior
           settings have no effect. If set to "~" (without any further argument), the bounding
           set is reset to the full set of available capabilities, also undoing any previous
           settings. This does not affect commands prefixed with "+".

           Example: if a unit has the following,

               CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_A CAP_B
               CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_B CAP_C

           then CAP_A, CAP_B, and CAP_C are set. If the second line is prefixed with "~", e.g.,

               CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_A CAP_B
               CapabilityBoundingSet=~CAP_B CAP_C

           then, only CAP_A is set.

       AmbientCapabilities=
           Controls which capabilities to include in the ambient capability set for the executed
           process. Takes a whitespace-separated list of capability names, e.g.  CAP_SYS_ADMIN,
           CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE, CAP_SYS_PTRACE. This option may appear more than once in which case
           the ambient capability sets are merged (see the above examples in
           CapabilityBoundingSet=). If the list of capabilities is prefixed with "~", all but the
           listed capabilities will be included, the effect of the assignment inverted. If the
           empty string is assigned to this option, the ambient capability set is reset to the
           empty capability set, and all prior settings have no effect. If set to "~" (without
           any further argument), the ambient capability set is reset to the full set of
           available capabilities, also undoing any previous settings. Note that adding
           capabilities to ambient capability set adds them to the process's inherited capability
           set.

           Ambient capability sets are useful if you want to execute a process as a
           non-privileged user but still want to give it some capabilities. Note that in this
           case option keep-caps is automatically added to SecureBits= to retain the capabilities
           over the user change.  AmbientCapabilities= does not affect commands prefixed with
           "+".

SECURITY

       NoNewPrivileges=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, ensures that the service process and all its
           children can never gain new privileges through execve() (e.g. via setuid or setgid
           bits, or filesystem capabilities). This is the simplest and most effective way to
           ensure that a process and its children can never elevate privileges again. Defaults to
           false, but certain settings override this and ignore the value of this setting. This
           is the case when SystemCallFilter=, SystemCallArchitectures=,
           RestrictAddressFamilies=, RestrictNamespaces=, PrivateDevices=,
           ProtectKernelTunables=, ProtectKernelModules=, ProtectKernelLogs=, ProtectClock=,
           MemoryDenyWriteExecute=, RestrictRealtime=, RestrictSUIDSGID=, DynamicUser= or
           LockPersonality= are specified. Note that even if this setting is overridden by them,
           systemctl show shows the original value of this setting. Also see No New Privileges
           Flag[3].

       SecureBits=
           Controls the secure bits set for the executed process. Takes a space-separated
           combination of options from the following list: keep-caps, keep-caps-locked,
           no-setuid-fixup, no-setuid-fixup-locked, noroot, and noroot-locked. This option may
           appear more than once, in which case the secure bits are ORed. If the empty string is
           assigned to this option, the bits are reset to 0. This does not affect commands
           prefixed with "+". See capabilities(7) for details.

MANDATORY ACCESS CONTROL

       These options are only available for system services and are not supported for services
       running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       SELinuxContext=
           Set the SELinux security context of the executed process. If set, this will override
           the automated domain transition. However, the policy still needs to authorize the
           transition. This directive is ignored if SELinux is disabled. If prefixed by "-", all
           errors will be ignored. This does not affect commands prefixed with "+". See
           setexeccon(3) for details.

       AppArmorProfile=
           Takes a profile name as argument. The process executed by the unit will switch to this
           profile when started. Profiles must already be loaded in the kernel, or the unit will
           fail. This result in a non operation if AppArmor is not enabled. If prefixed by "-",
           all errors will be ignored. This does not affect commands prefixed with "+".

       SmackProcessLabel=
           Takes a SMACK64 security label as argument. The process executed by the unit will be
           started under this label and SMACK will decide whether the process is allowed to run
           or not, based on it. The process will continue to run under the label specified here
           unless the executable has its own SMACK64EXEC label, in which case the process will
           transition to run under that label. When not specified, the label that systemd is
           running under is used. This directive is ignored if SMACK is disabled.

           The value may be prefixed by "-", in which case all errors will be ignored. An empty
           value may be specified to unset previous assignments. This does not affect commands
           prefixed with "+".

PROCESS PROPERTIES

       LimitCPU=, LimitFSIZE=, LimitDATA=, LimitSTACK=, LimitCORE=, LimitRSS=, LimitNOFILE=,
       LimitAS=, LimitNPROC=, LimitMEMLOCK=, LimitLOCKS=, LimitSIGPENDING=, LimitMSGQUEUE=,
       LimitNICE=, LimitRTPRIO=, LimitRTTIME=
           Set soft and hard limits on various resources for executed processes. See setrlimit(2)
           for details on the resource limit concept. Resource limits may be specified in two
           formats: either as single value to set a specific soft and hard limit to the same
           value, or as colon-separated pair soft:hard to set both limits individually (e.g.
           "LimitAS=4G:16G"). Use the string infinity to configure no limit on a specific
           resource. The multiplicative suffixes K, M, G, T, P and E (to the base 1024) may be
           used for resource limits measured in bytes (e.g.  "LimitAS=16G"). For the limits
           referring to time values, the usual time units ms, s, min, h and so on may be used
           (see systemd.time(7) for details). Note that if no time unit is specified for
           LimitCPU= the default unit of seconds is implied, while for LimitRTTIME= the default
           unit of microseconds is implied. Also, note that the effective granularity of the
           limits might influence their enforcement. For example, time limits specified for
           LimitCPU= will be rounded up implicitly to multiples of 1s. For LimitNICE= the value
           may be specified in two syntaxes: if prefixed with "+" or "-", the value is understood
           as regular Linux nice value in the range -20..19. If not prefixed like this the value
           is understood as raw resource limit parameter in the range 0..40 (with 0 being
           equivalent to 1).

           Note that most process resource limits configured with these options are per-process,
           and processes may fork in order to acquire a new set of resources that are accounted
           independently of the original process, and may thus escape limits set. Also note that
           LimitRSS= is not implemented on Linux, and setting it has no effect. Often it is
           advisable to prefer the resource controls listed in systemd.resource-control(5) over
           these per-process limits, as they apply to services as a whole, may be altered
           dynamically at runtime, and are generally more expressive. For example, MemoryMax= is
           a more powerful (and working) replacement for LimitRSS=.

           Resource limits not configured explicitly for a unit default to the value configured
           in the various DefaultLimitCPU=, DefaultLimitFSIZE=, ... options available in systemd-
           system.conf(5), and – if not configured there – the kernel or per-user defaults, as
           defined by the OS (the latter only for user services, see below).

           For system units these resource limits may be chosen freely. When these settings are
           configured in a user service (i.e. a service run by the per-user instance of the
           service manager) they cannot be used to raise the limits above those set for the user
           manager itself when it was first invoked, as the user's service manager generally
           lacks the privileges to do so. In user context these configuration options are hence
           only useful to lower the limits passed in or to raise the soft limit to the maximum of
           the hard limit as configured for the user. To raise the user's limits further, the
           available configuration mechanisms differ between operating systems, but typically
           require privileges. In most cases it is possible to configure higher per-user resource
           limits via PAM or by setting limits on the system service encapsulating the user's
           service manager, i.e. the user's instance of user@.service. After making such changes,
           make sure to restart the user's service manager.

       UMask=
           Controls the file mode creation mask. Takes an access mode in octal notation. See
           umask(2) for details. Defaults to 0022 for system units. For units of the user service
           manager the default value is inherited from the user instance (whose default is
           inherited from the system service manager, and thus also is 0022). Hence changing the
           default value of a user instance, either via UMask= or via a PAM module, will affect
           the user instance itself and all user units started by the user instance unless a user
           unit has specified its own UMask=.

       KeyringMode=
           Controls how the kernel session keyring is set up for the service (see session-
           keyring(7) for details on the session keyring). Takes one of inherit, private, shared.
           If set to inherit no special keyring setup is done, and the kernel's default behaviour
           is applied. If private is used a new session keyring is allocated when a service
           process is invoked, and it is not linked up with any user keyring. This is the
           recommended setting for system services, as this ensures that multiple services
           running under the same system user ID (in particular the root user) do not share their
           key material among each other. If shared is used a new session keyring is allocated as
           for private, but the user keyring of the user configured with User= is linked into it,
           so that keys assigned to the user may be requested by the unit's processes. In this
           modes multiple units running processes under the same user ID may share key material.
           Unless inherit is selected the unique invocation ID for the unit (see below) is added
           as a protected key by the name "invocation_id" to the newly created session keyring.
           Defaults to private for services of the system service manager and to inherit for
           non-service units and for services of the user service manager.

       OOMScoreAdjust=
           Sets the adjustment value for the Linux kernel's Out-Of-Memory (OOM) killer score for
           executed processes. Takes an integer between -1000 (to disable OOM killing of
           processes of this unit) and 1000 (to make killing of processes of this unit under
           memory pressure very likely). See proc.txt[4] for details. If not specified defaults
           to the OOM score adjustment level of the service manager itself, which is normally at
           0.

           Use the OOMPolicy= setting of service units to configure how the service manager shall
           react to the kernel OOM killer terminating a process of the service. See
           systemd.service(5) for details.

       TimerSlackNSec=
           Sets the timer slack in nanoseconds for the executed processes. The timer slack
           controls the accuracy of wake-ups triggered by timers. See prctl(2) for more
           information. Note that in contrast to most other time span definitions this parameter
           takes an integer value in nano-seconds if no unit is specified. The usual time units
           are understood too.

       Personality=
           Controls which kernel architecture uname(2) shall report, when invoked by unit
           processes. Takes one of the architecture identifiers x86, x86-64, ppc, ppc-le, ppc64,
           ppc64-le, s390 or s390x. Which personality architectures are supported depends on the
           system architecture. Usually the 64bit versions of the various system architectures
           support their immediate 32bit personality architecture counterpart, but no others. For
           example, x86-64 systems support the x86-64 and x86 personalities but no others. The
           personality feature is useful when running 32-bit services on a 64-bit host system. If
           not specified, the personality is left unmodified and thus reflects the personality of
           the host system's kernel.

       IgnoreSIGPIPE=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, causes SIGPIPE to be ignored in the executed
           process. Defaults to true because SIGPIPE generally is useful only in shell pipelines.

SCHEDULING

       Nice=
           Sets the default nice level (scheduling priority) for executed processes. Takes an
           integer between -20 (highest priority) and 19 (lowest priority). See setpriority(2)
           for details.

       CPUSchedulingPolicy=
           Sets the CPU scheduling policy for executed processes. Takes one of other, batch,
           idle, fifo or rr. See sched_setscheduler(2) for details.

       CPUSchedulingPriority=
           Sets the CPU scheduling priority for executed processes. The available priority range
           depends on the selected CPU scheduling policy (see above). For real-time scheduling
           policies an integer between 1 (lowest priority) and 99 (highest priority) can be used.
           See sched_setscheduler(2) for details.

       CPUSchedulingResetOnFork=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, elevated CPU scheduling priorities and policies
           will be reset when the executed processes fork, and can hence not leak into child
           processes. See sched_setscheduler(2) for details. Defaults to false.

       CPUAffinity=
           Controls the CPU affinity of the executed processes. Takes a list of CPU indices or
           ranges separated by either whitespace or commas. Alternatively, takes a special "numa"
           value in which case systemd automatically derives allowed CPU range based on the value
           of NUMAMask= option. CPU ranges are specified by the lower and upper CPU indices
           separated by a dash. This option may be specified more than once, in which case the
           specified CPU affinity masks are merged. If the empty string is assigned, the mask is
           reset, all assignments prior to this will have no effect. See sched_setaffinity(2) for
           details.

       NUMAPolicy=
           Controls the NUMA memory policy of the executed processes. Takes a policy type, one
           of: default, preferred, bind, interleave and local. A list of NUMA nodes that should
           be associated with the policy must be specified in NUMAMask=. For more details on each
           policy please see, set_mempolicy(2). For overall overview of NUMA support in Linux
           see, numa(7)

       NUMAMask=
           Controls the NUMA node list which will be applied alongside with selected NUMA policy.
           Takes a list of NUMA nodes and has the same syntax as a list of CPUs for CPUAffinity=
           option. Note that the list of NUMA nodes is not required for default and local
           policies and for preferred policy we expect a single NUMA node.

       IOSchedulingClass=
           Sets the I/O scheduling class for executed processes. Takes an integer between 0 and 3
           or one of the strings none, realtime, best-effort or idle. If the empty string is
           assigned to this option, all prior assignments to both IOSchedulingClass= and
           IOSchedulingPriority= have no effect. See ioprio_set(2) for details.

       IOSchedulingPriority=
           Sets the I/O scheduling priority for executed processes. Takes an integer between 0
           (highest priority) and 7 (lowest priority). The available priorities depend on the
           selected I/O scheduling class (see above). If the empty string is assigned to this
           option, all prior assignments to both IOSchedulingClass= and IOSchedulingPriority=
           have no effect. See ioprio_set(2) for details.

SANDBOXING

       The following sandboxing options are an effective way to limit the exposure of the system
       towards the unit's processes. It is recommended to turn on as many of these options for
       each unit as is possible without negatively affecting the process' ability to operate.
       Note that many of these sandboxing features are gracefully turned off on systems where the
       underlying security mechanism is not available. For example, ProtectSystem= has no effect
       if the kernel is built without file system namespacing or if the service manager runs in a
       container manager that makes file system namespacing unavailable to its payload. Similar,
       RestrictRealtime= has no effect on systems that lack support for SECCOMP system call
       filtering, or in containers where support for this is turned off.

       Also note that some sandboxing functionality is generally not available in user services
       (i.e. services run by the per-user service manager). Specifically, the various settings
       requiring file system namespacing support (such as ProtectSystem=) are not available, as
       the underlying kernel functionality is only accessible to privileged processes. However,
       most namespacing settings, that will not work on their own in user services, will work
       when used in conjunction with PrivateUsers=true.

       ProtectSystem=
           Takes a boolean argument or the special values "full" or "strict". If true, mounts the
           /usr and /boot directories read-only for processes invoked by this unit. If set to
           "full", the /etc directory is mounted read-only, too. If set to "strict" the entire
           file system hierarchy is mounted read-only, except for the API file system subtrees
           /dev, /proc and /sys (protect these directories using PrivateDevices=,
           ProtectKernelTunables=, ProtectControlGroups=). This setting ensures that any
           modification of the vendor-supplied operating system (and optionally its
           configuration, and local mounts) is prohibited for the service. It is recommended to
           enable this setting for all long-running services, unless they are involved with
           system updates or need to modify the operating system in other ways. If this option is
           used, ReadWritePaths= may be used to exclude specific directories from being made
           read-only. This setting is implied if DynamicUser= is set. This setting cannot ensure
           protection in all cases. In general it has the same limitations as ReadOnlyPaths=, see
           below. Defaults to off.

       ProtectHome=
           Takes a boolean argument or the special values "read-only" or "tmpfs". If true, the
           directories /home, /root, and /run/user are made inaccessible and empty for processes
           invoked by this unit. If set to "read-only", the three directories are made read-only
           instead. If set to "tmpfs", temporary file systems are mounted on the three
           directories in read-only mode. The value "tmpfs" is useful to hide home directories
           not relevant to the processes invoked by the unit, while still allowing necessary
           directories to be made visible when listed in BindPaths= or BindReadOnlyPaths=.

           Setting this to "yes" is mostly equivalent to set the three directories in
           InaccessiblePaths=. Similarly, "read-only" is mostly equivalent to ReadOnlyPaths=, and
           "tmpfs" is mostly equivalent to TemporaryFileSystem= with ":ro".

           It is recommended to enable this setting for all long-running services (in particular
           network-facing ones), to ensure they cannot get access to private user data, unless
           the services actually require access to the user's private data. This setting is
           implied if DynamicUser= is set. This setting cannot ensure protection in all cases. In
           general it has the same limitations as ReadOnlyPaths=, see below.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       RuntimeDirectory=, StateDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, LogsDirectory=,
       ConfigurationDirectory=
           These options take a whitespace-separated list of directory names. The specified
           directory names must be relative, and may not include "..". If set, one or more
           directories by the specified names will be created (including their parents) below the
           locations defined in the following table, when the unit is started. Also, the
           corresponding environment variable is defined with the full path of directories. If
           multiple directories are set, then in the environment variable the paths are
           concatenated with colon (":").

           In case of RuntimeDirectory= the innermost subdirectories are removed when the unit is
           stopped. It is possible to preserve the specified directories in this case if
           RuntimeDirectoryPreserve= is configured to restart or yes (see below). The directories
           specified with StateDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, LogsDirectory=,
           ConfigurationDirectory= are not removed when the unit is stopped.

           Except in case of ConfigurationDirectory=, the innermost specified directories will be
           owned by the user and group specified in User= and Group=. If the specified
           directories already exist and their owning user or group do not match the configured
           ones, all files and directories below the specified directories as well as the
           directories themselves will have their file ownership recursively changed to match
           what is configured. As an optimization, if the specified directories are already owned
           by the right user and group, files and directories below of them are left as-is, even
           if they do not match what is requested. The innermost specified directories will have
           their access mode adjusted to the what is specified in RuntimeDirectoryMode=,
           StateDirectoryMode=, CacheDirectoryMode=, LogsDirectoryMode= and
           ConfigurationDirectoryMode=.

           These options imply BindPaths= for the specified paths. When combined with
           RootDirectory= or RootImage= these paths always reside on the host and are mounted
           from there into the unit's file system namespace.

           If DynamicUser= is used in conjunction with StateDirectory=, CacheDirectory= and
           LogsDirectory= is slightly altered: the directories are created below
           /var/lib/private, /var/cache/private and /var/log/private, respectively, which are
           host directories made inaccessible to unprivileged users, which ensures that access to
           these directories cannot be gained through dynamic user ID recycling. Symbolic links
           are created to hide this difference in behaviour. Both from perspective of the host
           and from inside the unit, the relevant directories hence always appear directly below
           /var/lib, /var/cache and /var/log.

           Use RuntimeDirectory= to manage one or more runtime directories for the unit and bind
           their lifetime to the daemon runtime. This is particularly useful for unprivileged
           daemons that cannot create runtime directories in /run due to lack of privileges, and
           to make sure the runtime directory is cleaned up automatically after use. For runtime
           directories that require more complex or different configuration or lifetime
           guarantees, please consider using tmpfiles.d(5).

           The directories defined by these options are always created under the standard paths
           used by systemd (/var, /run, /etc, ...). If the service needs directories in a
           different location, a different mechanism has to be used to create them.

           tmpfiles.d(5) provides functionality that overlaps with these options. Using these
           options is recommended, because the lifetime of the directories is tied directly to
           the lifetime of the unit, and it is not necessary to ensure that the tmpfiles.d
           configuration is executed before the unit is started.

           To remove any of the directories created by these settings, use the systemctl clean
           ...  command on the relevant units, see systemctl(1) for details.

           Example: if a system service unit has the following,

               RuntimeDirectory=foo/bar baz

           the service manager creates /run/foo (if it does not exist), /run/foo/bar, and
           /run/baz. The directories /run/foo/bar and /run/baz except /run/foo are owned by the
           user and group specified in User= and Group=, and removed when the service is stopped.

           Example: if a system service unit has the following,

               RuntimeDirectory=foo/bar
               StateDirectory=aaa/bbb ccc

           then the environment variable "RUNTIME_DIRECTORY" is set with "/run/foo/bar", and
           "STATE_DIRECTORY" is set with "/var/lib/aaa/bbb:/var/lib/ccc".

       RuntimeDirectoryMode=, StateDirectoryMode=, CacheDirectoryMode=, LogsDirectoryMode=,
       ConfigurationDirectoryMode=
           Specifies the access mode of the directories specified in RuntimeDirectory=,
           StateDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, LogsDirectory=, or ConfigurationDirectory=,
           respectively, as an octal number. Defaults to 0755. See "Permissions" in
           path_resolution(7) for a discussion of the meaning of permission bits.

       RuntimeDirectoryPreserve=
           Takes a boolean argument or restart. If set to no (the default), the directories
           specified in RuntimeDirectory= are always removed when the service stops. If set to
           restart the directories are preserved when the service is both automatically and
           manually restarted. Here, the automatic restart means the operation specified in
           Restart=, and manual restart means the one triggered by systemctl restart foo.service.
           If set to yes, then the directories are not removed when the service is stopped. Note
           that since the runtime directory /run is a mount point of "tmpfs", then for system
           services the directories specified in RuntimeDirectory= are removed when the system is
           rebooted.

       TimeoutCleanSec=
           Configures a timeout on the clean-up operation requested through systemctl clean ...,
           see systemctl(1) for details. Takes the usual time values and defaults to infinity,
           i.e. by default no time-out is applied. If a time-out is configured the clean
           operation will be aborted forcibly when the time-out is reached, potentially leaving
           resources on disk.

       ReadWritePaths=, ReadOnlyPaths=, InaccessiblePaths=
           Sets up a new file system namespace for executed processes. These options may be used
           to limit access a process might have to the file system hierarchy. Each setting takes
           a space-separated list of paths relative to the host's root directory (i.e. the system
           running the service manager). Note that if paths contain symlinks, they are resolved
           relative to the root directory set with RootDirectory=/RootImage=.

           Paths listed in ReadWritePaths= are accessible from within the namespace with the same
           access modes as from outside of it. Paths listed in ReadOnlyPaths= are accessible for
           reading only, writing will be refused even if the usual file access controls would
           permit this. Nest ReadWritePaths= inside of ReadOnlyPaths= in order to provide
           writable subdirectories within read-only directories. Use ReadWritePaths= in order to
           whitelist specific paths for write access if ProtectSystem=strict is used.

           Paths listed in InaccessiblePaths= will be made inaccessible for processes inside the
           namespace along with everything below them in the file system hierarchy. This may be
           more restrictive than desired, because it is not possible to nest ReadWritePaths=,
           ReadOnlyPaths=, BindPaths=, or BindReadOnlyPaths= inside it. For a more flexible
           option, see TemporaryFileSystem=.

           Non-directory paths may be specified as well. These options may be specified more than
           once, in which case all paths listed will have limited access from within the
           namespace. If the empty string is assigned to this option, the specific list is reset,
           and all prior assignments have no effect.

           Paths in ReadWritePaths=, ReadOnlyPaths= and InaccessiblePaths= may be prefixed with
           "-", in which case they will be ignored when they do not exist. If prefixed with "+"
           the paths are taken relative to the root directory of the unit, as configured with
           RootDirectory=/RootImage=, instead of relative to the root directory of the host (see
           above). When combining "-" and "+" on the same path make sure to specify "-" first,
           and "+" second.

           Note that these settings will disconnect propagation of mounts from the unit's
           processes to the host. This means that this setting may not be used for services which
           shall be able to install mount points in the main mount namespace. For ReadWritePaths=
           and ReadOnlyPaths= propagation in the other direction is not affected, i.e. mounts
           created on the host generally appear in the unit processes' namespace, and mounts
           removed on the host also disappear there too. In particular, note that mount
           propagation from host to unit will result in unmodified mounts to be created in the
           unit's namespace, i.e. writable mounts appearing on the host will be writable in the
           unit's namespace too, even when propagated below a path marked with ReadOnlyPaths=!
           Restricting access with these options hence does not extend to submounts of a
           directory that are created later on. This means the lock-down offered by that setting
           is not complete, and does not offer full protection.

           Note that the effect of these settings may be undone by privileged processes. In order
           to set up an effective sandboxed environment for a unit it is thus recommended to
           combine these settings with either CapabilityBoundingSet=~CAP_SYS_ADMIN or
           SystemCallFilter=~@mount.

           These options are only available for system services and are not supported for
           services running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       TemporaryFileSystem=
           Takes a space-separated list of mount points for temporary file systems (tmpfs). If
           set, a new file system namespace is set up for executed processes, and a temporary
           file system is mounted on each mount point. This option may be specified more than
           once, in which case temporary file systems are mounted on all listed mount points. If
           the empty string is assigned to this option, the list is reset, and all prior
           assignments have no effect. Each mount point may optionally be suffixed with a colon
           (":") and mount options such as "size=10%" or "ro". By default, each temporary file
           system is mounted with "nodev,strictatime,mode=0755". These can be disabled by
           explicitly specifying the corresponding mount options, e.g., "dev" or "nostrictatime".

           This is useful to hide files or directories not relevant to the processes invoked by
           the unit, while necessary files or directories can be still accessed by combining with
           BindPaths= or BindReadOnlyPaths=:

           Example: if a unit has the following,

               TemporaryFileSystem=/var:ro
               BindReadOnlyPaths=/var/lib/systemd

           then the invoked processes by the unit cannot see any files or directories under /var
           except for /var/lib/systemd or its contents.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       PrivateTmp=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, sets up a new file system namespace for the
           executed processes and mounts private /tmp and /var/tmp directories inside it that is
           not shared by processes outside of the namespace. This is useful to secure access to
           temporary files of the process, but makes sharing between processes via /tmp or
           /var/tmp impossible. If this is enabled, all temporary files created by a service in
           these directories will be removed after the service is stopped. Defaults to false. It
           is possible to run two or more units within the same private /tmp and /var/tmp
           namespace by using the JoinsNamespaceOf= directive, see systemd.unit(5) for details.
           This setting is implied if DynamicUser= is set. For this setting the same restrictions
           regarding mount propagation and privileges apply as for ReadOnlyPaths= and related
           calls, see above. Enabling this setting has the side effect of adding Requires= and
           After= dependencies on all mount units necessary to access /tmp and /var/tmp. Moreover
           an implicitly After= ordering on systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service(8) is added.

           Note that the implementation of this setting might be impossible (for example if mount
           namespaces are not available), and the unit should be written in a way that does not
           solely rely on this setting for security.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       PrivateDevices=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, sets up a new /dev mount for the executed processes
           and only adds API pseudo devices such as /dev/null, /dev/zero or /dev/random (as well
           as the pseudo TTY subsystem) to it, but no physical devices such as /dev/sda, system
           memory /dev/mem, system ports /dev/port and others. This is useful to securely turn
           off physical device access by the executed process. Defaults to false. Enabling this
           option will install a system call filter to block low-level I/O system calls that are
           grouped in the @raw-io set, will also remove CAP_MKNOD and CAP_SYS_RAWIO from the
           capability bounding set for the unit (see above), and set DevicePolicy=closed (see
           systemd.resource-control(5) for details). Note that using this setting will disconnect
           propagation of mounts from the service to the host (propagation in the opposite
           direction continues to work). This means that this setting may not be used for
           services which shall be able to install mount points in the main mount namespace. The
           new /dev will be mounted read-only and 'noexec'. The latter may break old programs
           which try to set up executable memory by using mmap(2) of /dev/zero instead of using
           MAP_ANON. For this setting the same restrictions regarding mount propagation and
           privileges apply as for ReadOnlyPaths= and related calls, see above. If turned on and
           if running in user mode, or in system mode, but without the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability
           (e.g. setting User=), NoNewPrivileges=yes is implied.

           Note that the implementation of this setting might be impossible (for example if mount
           namespaces are not available), and the unit should be written in a way that does not
           solely rely on this setting for security.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       PrivateNetwork=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, sets up a new network namespace for the executed
           processes and configures only the loopback network device "lo" inside it. No other
           network devices will be available to the executed process. This is useful to turn off
           network access by the executed process. Defaults to false. It is possible to run two
           or more units within the same private network namespace by using the JoinsNamespaceOf=
           directive, see systemd.unit(5) for details. Note that this option will disconnect all
           socket families from the host, including AF_NETLINK and AF_UNIX. Effectively, for
           AF_NETLINK this means that device configuration events received from systemd-
           udevd.service(8) are not delivered to the unit's processes. And for AF_UNIX this has
           the effect that AF_UNIX sockets in the abstract socket namespace of the host will
           become unavailable to the unit's processes (however, those located in the file system
           will continue to be accessible).

           Note that the implementation of this setting might be impossible (for example if
           network namespaces are not available), and the unit should be written in a way that
           does not solely rely on this setting for security.

           When this option is used on a socket unit any sockets bound on behalf of this unit
           will be bound within a private network namespace. This may be combined with
           JoinsNamespaceOf= to listen on sockets inside of network namespaces of other services.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       NetworkNamespacePath=
           Takes an absolute file system path refererring to a Linux network namespace
           pseudo-file (i.e. a file like /proc/$PID/ns/net or a bind mount or symlink to one).
           When set the invoked processes are added to the network namespace referenced by that
           path. The path has to point to a valid namespace file at the moment the processes are
           forked off. If this option is used PrivateNetwork= has no effect. If this option is
           used together with JoinsNamespaceOf= then it only has an effect if this unit is
           started before any of the listed units that have PrivateNetwork= or
           NetworkNamespacePath= configured, as otherwise the network namespace of those units is
           reused.

           When this option is used on a socket unit any sockets bound on behalf of this unit
           will be bound within the specified network namespace.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       PrivateUsers=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, sets up a new user namespace for the executed
           processes and configures a minimal user and group mapping, that maps the "root" user
           and group as well as the unit's own user and group to themselves and everything else
           to the "nobody" user and group. This is useful to securely detach the user and group
           databases used by the unit from the rest of the system, and thus to create an
           effective sandbox environment. All files, directories, processes, IPC objects and
           other resources owned by users/groups not equaling "root" or the unit's own will stay
           visible from within the unit but appear owned by the "nobody" user and group. If this
           mode is enabled, all unit processes are run without privileges in the host user
           namespace (regardless if the unit's own user/group is "root" or not). Specifically
           this means that the process will have zero process capabilities on the host's user
           namespace, but full capabilities within the service's user namespace. Settings such as
           CapabilityBoundingSet= will affect only the latter, and there's no way to acquire
           additional capabilities in the host's user namespace. Defaults to off.

           When this setting is set up by a per-user instance of the service manager, the mapping
           of the "root" user and group to itself is omitted (unless the user manager is root).
           Additionally, in the per-user instance manager case, the user namespace will be set up
           before most other namespaces. This means that combining PrivateUsers=true with other
           namespaces will enable use of features not normally supported by the per-user
           instances of the service manager.

           This setting is particularly useful in conjunction with RootDirectory=/RootImage=, as
           the need to synchronize the user and group databases in the root directory and on the
           host is reduced, as the only users and groups who need to be matched are "root",
           "nobody" and the unit's own user and group.

           Note that the implementation of this setting might be impossible (for example if user
           namespaces are not available), and the unit should be written in a way that does not
           solely rely on this setting for security.

       ProtectHostname=
           Takes a boolean argument. When set, sets up a new UTS namespace for the executed
           processes. In addition, changing hostname or domainname is prevented. Defaults to off.

           Note that the implementation of this setting might be impossible (for example if UTS
           namespaces are not available), and the unit should be written in a way that does not
           solely rely on this setting for security.

           Note that when this option is enabled for a service hostname changes no longer
           propagate from the system into the service, it is hence not suitable for services that
           need to take notice of system hostname changes dynamically.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       ProtectClock=
           Takes a boolean argument. If set, writes to the hardware clock or system clock will be
           denied. It is recommended to turn this on for most services that do not need modify
           the clock. Defaults to off. Enabling this option removes CAP_SYS_TIME and
           CAP_WAKE_ALARM from the capability bounding set for this unit, installs a system call
           filter to block calls that can set the clock, and DeviceAllow=char-rtc r is implied.
           This ensures /dev/rtc0, /dev/rtc1, etc are made read only to the service. See
           systemd.resource-control(5) for the details about DeviceAllow=.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       ProtectKernelTunables=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, kernel variables accessible through /proc/sys,
           /sys, /proc/sysrq-trigger, /proc/latency_stats, /proc/acpi, /proc/timer_stats,
           /proc/fs and /proc/irq will be made read-only to all processes of the unit. Usually,
           tunable kernel variables should be initialized only at boot-time, for example with the
           sysctl.d(5) mechanism. Few services need to write to these at runtime; it is hence
           recommended to turn this on for most services. For this setting the same restrictions
           regarding mount propagation and privileges apply as for ReadOnlyPaths= and related
           calls, see above. Defaults to off. If turned on and if running in user mode, or in
           system mode, but without the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (e.g. services for which User=
           is set), NoNewPrivileges=yes is implied. Note that this option does not prevent
           indirect changes to kernel tunables effected by IPC calls to other processes. However,
           InaccessiblePaths= may be used to make relevant IPC file system objects inaccessible.
           If ProtectKernelTunables= is set, MountAPIVFS=yes is implied.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       ProtectKernelModules=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, explicit module loading will be denied. This allows
           module load and unload operations to be turned off on modular kernels. It is
           recommended to turn this on for most services that do not need special file systems or
           extra kernel modules to work. Defaults to off. Enabling this option removes
           CAP_SYS_MODULE from the capability bounding set for the unit, and installs a system
           call filter to block module system calls, also /usr/lib/modules is made inaccessible.
           For this setting the same restrictions regarding mount propagation and privileges
           apply as for ReadOnlyPaths= and related calls, see above. Note that limited automatic
           module loading due to user configuration or kernel mapping tables might still happen
           as side effect of requested user operations, both privileged and unprivileged. To
           disable module auto-load feature please see sysctl.d(5) kernel.modules_disabled
           mechanism and /proc/sys/kernel/modules_disabled documentation. If turned on and if
           running in user mode, or in system mode, but without the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability
           (e.g. setting User=), NoNewPrivileges=yes is implied.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       ProtectKernelLogs=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, access to the kernel log ring buffer will be
           denied. It is recommended to turn this on for most services that do not need to read
           from or write to the kernel log ring buffer. Enabling this option removes CAP_SYSLOG
           from the capability bounding set for this unit, and installs a system call filter to
           block the syslog(2) system call (not to be confused with the libc API syslog(3) for
           userspace logging). The kernel exposes its log buffer to userspace via /dev/kmsg and
           /proc/kmsg. If enabled, these are made inaccessible to all the processes in the unit.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       ProtectControlGroups=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true, the Linux Control Groups (cgroups(7)) hierarchies
           accessible through /sys/fs/cgroup will be made read-only to all processes of the unit.
           Except for container managers no services should require write access to the control
           groups hierarchies; it is hence recommended to turn this on for most services. For
           this setting the same restrictions regarding mount propagation and privileges apply as
           for ReadOnlyPaths= and related calls, see above. Defaults to off. If
           ProtectControlGroups= is set, MountAPIVFS=yes is implied.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       RestrictAddressFamilies=
           Restricts the set of socket address families accessible to the processes of this unit.
           Takes a space-separated list of address family names to whitelist, such as AF_UNIX,
           AF_INET or AF_INET6. When prefixed with ~ the listed address families will be applied
           as blacklist, otherwise as whitelist. Note that this restricts access to the socket(2)
           system call only. Sockets passed into the process by other means (for example, by
           using socket activation with socket units, see systemd.socket(5)) are unaffected.
           Also, sockets created with socketpair() (which creates connected AF_UNIX sockets only)
           are unaffected. Note that this option has no effect on 32-bit x86, s390, s390x, mips,
           mips-le, ppc, ppc-le, pcc64, ppc64-le and is ignored (but works correctly on other
           ABIs, including x86-64). Note that on systems supporting multiple ABIs (such as
           x86/x86-64) it is recommended to turn off alternative ABIs for services, so that they
           cannot be used to circumvent the restrictions of this option. Specifically, it is
           recommended to combine this option with SystemCallArchitectures=native or similar. If
           running in user mode, or in system mode, but without the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability
           (e.g. setting User=nobody), NoNewPrivileges=yes is implied. By default, no
           restrictions apply, all address families are accessible to processes. If assigned the
           empty string, any previous address family restriction changes are undone. This setting
           does not affect commands prefixed with "+".

           Use this option to limit exposure of processes to remote access, in particular via
           exotic and sensitive network protocols, such as AF_PACKET. Note that in most cases,
           the local AF_UNIX address family should be included in the configured whitelist as it
           is frequently used for local communication, including for syslog(2) logging.

       RestrictNamespaces=
           Restricts access to Linux namespace functionality for the processes of this unit. For
           details about Linux namespaces, see namespaces(7). Either takes a boolean argument, or
           a space-separated list of namespace type identifiers. If false (the default), no
           restrictions on namespace creation and switching are made. If true, access to any kind
           of namespacing is prohibited. Otherwise, a space-separated list of namespace type
           identifiers must be specified, consisting of any combination of: cgroup, ipc, net,
           mnt, pid, user and uts. Any namespace type listed is made accessible to the unit's
           processes, access to namespace types not listed is prohibited (whitelisting). By
           prepending the list with a single tilde character ("~") the effect may be inverted:
           only the listed namespace types will be made inaccessible, all unlisted ones are
           permitted (blacklisting). If the empty string is assigned, the default namespace
           restrictions are applied, which is equivalent to false. This option may appear more
           than once, in which case the namespace types are merged by OR, or by AND if the lines
           are prefixed with "~" (see examples below). Internally, this setting limits access to
           the unshare(2), clone(2) and setns(2) system calls, taking the specified flags
           parameters into account. Note that — if this option is used — in addition to
           restricting creation and switching of the specified types of namespaces (or all of
           them, if true) access to the setns() system call with a zero flags parameter is
           prohibited. This setting is only supported on x86, x86-64, mips, mips-le, mips64,
           mips64-le, mips64-n32, mips64-le-n32, ppc64, ppc64-le, s390 and s390x, and enforces no
           restrictions on other architectures. If running in user mode, or in system mode, but
           without the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (e.g. setting User=), NoNewPrivileges=yes is
           implied.

           Example: if a unit has the following,

               RestrictNamespaces=cgroup ipc
               RestrictNamespaces=cgroup net

           then cgroup, ipc, and net are set. If the second line is prefixed with "~", e.g.,

               RestrictNamespaces=cgroup ipc
               RestrictNamespaces=~cgroup net

           then, only ipc is set.

       LockPersonality=
           Takes a boolean argument. If set, locks down the personality(2) system call so that
           the kernel execution domain may not be changed from the default or the personality
           selected with Personality= directive. This may be useful to improve security, because
           odd personality emulations may be poorly tested and source of vulnerabilities. If
           running in user mode, or in system mode, but without the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability
           (e.g. setting User=), NoNewPrivileges=yes is implied.

       MemoryDenyWriteExecute=
           Takes a boolean argument. If set, attempts to create memory mappings that are writable
           and executable at the same time, or to change existing memory mappings to become
           executable, or mapping shared memory segments as executable are prohibited.
           Specifically, a system call filter is added that rejects mmap(2) system calls with
           both PROT_EXEC and PROT_WRITE set, mprotect(2) or pkey_mprotect(2) system calls with
           PROT_EXEC set and shmat(2) system calls with SHM_EXEC set. Note that this option is
           incompatible with programs and libraries that generate program code dynamically at
           runtime, including JIT execution engines, executable stacks, and code "trampoline"
           feature of various C compilers. This option improves service security, as it makes
           harder for software exploits to change running code dynamically. However, the
           protection can be circumvented, if the service can write to a filesystem, which is not
           mounted with noexec (such as /dev/shm), or it can use memfd_create(). This can be
           prevented by making such file systems inaccessible to the service (e.g.
           InaccessiblePaths=/dev/shm) and installing further system call filters
           (SystemCallFilter=~memfd_create). Note that this feature is fully available on x86-64,
           and partially on x86. Specifically, the shmat() protection is not available on x86.
           Note that on systems supporting multiple ABIs (such as x86/x86-64) it is recommended
           to turn off alternative ABIs for services, so that they cannot be used to circumvent
           the restrictions of this option. Specifically, it is recommended to combine this
           option with SystemCallArchitectures=native or similar. If running in user mode, or in
           system mode, but without the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (e.g. setting User=),
           NoNewPrivileges=yes is implied.

       RestrictRealtime=
           Takes a boolean argument. If set, any attempts to enable realtime scheduling in a
           process of the unit are refused. This restricts access to realtime task scheduling
           policies such as SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR or SCHED_DEADLINE. See sched(7) for details
           about these scheduling policies. If running in user mode, or in system mode, but
           without the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (e.g. setting User=), NoNewPrivileges=yes is
           implied. Realtime scheduling policies may be used to monopolize CPU time for longer
           periods of time, and may hence be used to lock up or otherwise trigger
           Denial-of-Service situations on the system. It is hence recommended to restrict access
           to realtime scheduling to the few programs that actually require them. Defaults to
           off.

       RestrictSUIDSGID=
           Takes a boolean argument. If set, any attempts to set the set-user-ID (SUID) or
           set-group-ID (SGID) bits on files or directories will be denied (for details on these
           bits see inode(7)). If running in user mode, or in system mode, but without the
           CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (e.g. setting User=), NoNewPrivileges=yes is implied. As the
           SUID/SGID bits are mechanisms to elevate privileges, and allows users to acquire the
           identity of other users, it is recommended to restrict creation of SUID/SGID files to
           the few programs that actually require them. Note that this restricts marking of any
           type of file system object with these bits, including both regular files and
           directories (where the SGID is a different meaning than for files, see documentation).
           This option is implied if DynamicUser= is enabled. Defaults to off.

       RemoveIPC=
           Takes a boolean parameter. If set, all System V and POSIX IPC objects owned by the
           user and group the processes of this unit are run as are removed when the unit is
           stopped. This setting only has an effect if at least one of User=, Group= and
           DynamicUser= are used. It has no effect on IPC objects owned by the root user.
           Specifically, this removes System V semaphores, as well as System V and POSIX shared
           memory segments and message queues. If multiple units use the same user or group the
           IPC objects are removed when the last of these units is stopped. This setting is
           implied if DynamicUser= is set.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       PrivateMounts=
           Takes a boolean parameter. If set, the processes of this unit will be run in their own
           private file system (mount) namespace with all mount propagation from the processes
           towards the host's main file system namespace turned off. This means any file system
           mount points established or removed by the unit's processes will be private to them
           and not be visible to the host. However, file system mount points established or
           removed on the host will be propagated to the unit's processes. See
           mount_namespaces(7) for details on file system namespaces. Defaults to off.

           When turned on, this executes three operations for each invoked process: a new
           CLONE_NEWNS namespace is created, after which all existing mounts are remounted to
           MS_SLAVE to disable propagation from the unit's processes to the host (but leaving
           propagation in the opposite direction in effect). Finally, the mounts are remounted
           again to the propagation mode configured with MountFlags=, see below.

           File system namespaces are set up individually for each process forked off by the
           service manager. Mounts established in the namespace of the process created by
           ExecStartPre= will hence be cleaned up automatically as soon as that process exits and
           will not be available to subsequent processes forked off for ExecStart= (and similar
           applies to the various other commands configured for units). Similarly,
           JoinsNamespaceOf= does not permit sharing kernel mount namespaces between units, it
           only enables sharing of the /tmp/ and /var/tmp/ directories.

           Other file system namespace unit settings — PrivateMounts=, PrivateTmp=,
           PrivateDevices=, ProtectSystem=, ProtectHome=, ReadOnlyPaths=, InaccessiblePaths=,
           ReadWritePaths=, ... — also enable file system namespacing in a fashion equivalent to
           this option. Hence it is primarily useful to explicitly request this behaviour if none
           of the other settings are used.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

       MountFlags=
           Takes a mount propagation setting: shared, slave or private, which controls whether
           file system mount points in the file system namespaces set up for this unit's
           processes will receive or propagate mounts and unmounts from other file system
           namespaces. See mount(2) for details on mount propagation, and the three propagation
           flags in particular.

           This setting only controls the final propagation setting in effect on all mount points
           of the file system namespace created for each process of this unit. Other file system
           namespacing unit settings (see the discussion in PrivateMounts= above) will implicitly
           disable mount and unmount propagation from the unit's processes towards the host by
           changing the propagation setting of all mount points in the unit's file system
           namepace to slave first. Setting this option to shared does not reestablish
           propagation in that case.

           If not set – but file system namespaces are enabled through another file system
           namespace unit setting – shared mount propagation is used, but — as mentioned — as
           slave is applied first, propagation from the unit's processes to the host is still
           turned off.

           It is not recommended to to use private mount propagation for units, as this means
           temporary mounts (such as removable media) of the host will stay mounted and thus
           indefinitely busy in forked off processes, as unmount propagation events won't be
           received by the file system namespace of the unit.

           Usually, it is best to leave this setting unmodified, and use higher level file system
           namespacing options instead, in particular PrivateMounts=, see above.

           This option is only available for system services and is not supported for services
           running in per-user instances of the service manager.

SYSTEM CALL FILTERING

       SystemCallFilter=
           Takes a space-separated list of system call names. If this setting is used, all system
           calls executed by the unit processes except for the listed ones will result in
           immediate process termination with the SIGSYS signal (whitelisting). (See
           SystemCallErrorNumber= below for changing the default action). If the first character
           of the list is "~", the effect is inverted: only the listed system calls will result
           in immediate process termination (blacklisting). Blacklisted system calls and system
           call groups may optionally be suffixed with a colon (":") and "errno" error number
           (between 0 and 4095) or errno name such as EPERM, EACCES or EUCLEAN (see errno(3) for
           a full list). This value will be returned when a blacklisted system call is triggered,
           instead of terminating the processes immediately. This value takes precedence over the
           one given in SystemCallErrorNumber=, see below. If running in user mode, or in system
           mode, but without the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (e.g. setting User=nobody),
           NoNewPrivileges=yes is implied. This feature makes use of the Secure Computing Mode 2
           interfaces of the kernel ('seccomp filtering') and is useful for enforcing a minimal
           sandboxing environment. Note that the execve, exit, exit_group, getrlimit,
           rt_sigreturn, sigreturn system calls and the system calls for querying time and
           sleeping are implicitly whitelisted and do not need to be listed explicitly. This
           option may be specified more than once, in which case the filter masks are merged. If
           the empty string is assigned, the filter is reset, all prior assignments will have no
           effect. This does not affect commands prefixed with "+".

           Note that on systems supporting multiple ABIs (such as x86/x86-64) it is recommended
           to turn off alternative ABIs for services, so that they cannot be used to circumvent
           the restrictions of this option. Specifically, it is recommended to combine this
           option with SystemCallArchitectures=native or similar.

           Note that strict system call filters may impact execution and error handling code
           paths of the service invocation. Specifically, access to the execve system call is
           required for the execution of the service binary — if it is blocked service invocation
           will necessarily fail. Also, if execution of the service binary fails for some reason
           (for example: missing service executable), the error handling logic might require
           access to an additional set of system calls in order to process and log this failure
           correctly. It might be necessary to temporarily disable system call filters in order
           to simplify debugging of such failures.

           If you specify both types of this option (i.e. whitelisting and blacklisting), the
           first encountered will take precedence and will dictate the default action
           (termination or approval of a system call). Then the next occurrences of this option
           will add or delete the listed system calls from the set of the filtered system calls,
           depending of its type and the default action. (For example, if you have started with a
           whitelisting of read and write, and right after it add a blacklisting of write, then
           write will be removed from the set.)

           As the number of possible system calls is large, predefined sets of system calls are
           provided. A set starts with "@" character, followed by name of the set.

           Note, that as new system calls are added to the kernel, additional system calls might
           be added to the groups above. Contents of the sets may also change between systemd
           versions. In addition, the list of system calls depends on the kernel version and
           architecture for which systemd was compiled. Use systemd-analyze syscall-filter to
           list the actual list of system calls in each filter.

           Generally, whitelisting system calls (rather than blacklisting) is the safer mode of
           operation. It is recommended to enforce system call whitelists for all long-running
           system services. Specifically, the following lines are a relatively safe basic choice
           for the majority of system services:

               [Service]
               SystemCallFilter=@system-service
               SystemCallErrorNumber=EPERM

           Note that various kernel system calls are defined redundantly: there are multiple
           system calls for executing the same operation. For example, the pidfd_send_signal()
           system call may be used to execute operations similar to what can be done with the
           older kill() system call, hence blocking the latter without the former only provides
           weak protection. Since new system calls are added regularly to the kernel as
           development progresses, keeping system call blacklists comprehensive requires constant
           work. It is thus recommended to use whitelisting instead, which offers the benefit
           that new system calls are by default implicitly blocked until the whitelist is
           updated.

           Also note that a number of system calls are required to be accessible for the dynamic
           linker to work. The dynamic linker is required for running most regular programs
           (specifically: all dynamic ELF binaries, which is how most distributions build
           packaged programs). This means that blocking these system calls (which include open(),
           openat() or mmap()) will make most programs typically shipped with generic
           distributions unusable.

           It is recommended to combine the file system namespacing related options with
           SystemCallFilter=~@mount, in order to prohibit the unit's processes to undo the
           mappings. Specifically these are the options PrivateTmp=, PrivateDevices=,
           ProtectSystem=, ProtectHome=, ProtectKernelTunables=, ProtectControlGroups=,
           ProtectKernelLogs=, ProtectClock=, ReadOnlyPaths=, InaccessiblePaths= and
           ReadWritePaths=.

       SystemCallErrorNumber=
           Takes an "errno" error number (between 1 and 4095) or errno name such as EPERM, EACCES
           or EUCLEAN, to return when the system call filter configured with SystemCallFilter= is
           triggered, instead of terminating the process immediately. See errno(3) for a full
           list of error codes. When this setting is not used, or when the empty string is
           assigned, the process will be terminated immediately when the filter is triggered.

       SystemCallArchitectures=
           Takes a space-separated list of architecture identifiers to include in the system call
           filter. The known architecture identifiers are the same as for ConditionArchitecture=
           described in systemd.unit(5), as well as x32, mips64-n32, mips64-le-n32, and the
           special identifier native. The special identifier native implicitly maps to the native
           architecture of the system (or more precisely: to the architecture the system manager
           is compiled for). If running in user mode, or in system mode, but without the
           CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability (e.g. setting User=nobody), NoNewPrivileges=yes is implied.
           By default, this option is set to the empty list, i.e. no system call architecture
           filtering is applied.

           If this setting is used, processes of this unit will only be permitted to call native
           system calls, and system calls of the specified architectures. For the purposes of
           this option, the x32 architecture is treated as including x86-64 system calls.
           However, this setting still fulfills its purpose, as explained below, on x32.

           System call filtering is not equally effective on all architectures. For example, on
           x86 filtering of network socket-related calls is not possible, due to ABI limitations
           — a limitation that x86-64 does not have, however. On systems supporting multiple ABIs
           at the same time — such as x86/x86-64 — it is hence recommended to limit the set of
           permitted system call architectures so that secondary ABIs may not be used to
           circumvent the restrictions applied to the native ABI of the system. In particular,
           setting SystemCallArchitectures=native is a good choice for disabling non-native ABIs.

           System call architectures may also be restricted system-wide via the
           SystemCallArchitectures= option in the global configuration. See systemd-
           system.conf(5) for details.

ENVIRONMENT

       Environment=
           Sets environment variables for executed processes. Takes a space-separated list of
           variable assignments. This option may be specified more than once, in which case all
           listed variables will be set. If the same variable is set twice, the later setting
           will override the earlier setting. If the empty string is assigned to this option, the
           list of environment variables is reset, all prior assignments have no effect. Variable
           expansion is not performed inside the strings, however, specifier expansion is
           possible. The $ character has no special meaning. If you need to assign a value
           containing spaces or the equals sign to a variable, use double quotes (") for the
           assignment.

           Example:

               Environment="VAR1=word1 word2" VAR2=word3 "VAR3=$word 5 6"

           gives three variables "VAR1", "VAR2", "VAR3" with the values "word1 word2", "word3",
           "$word 5 6".

           See environ(7) for details about environment variables.

           Note that environment variables are not suitable for passing secrets (such as
           passwords, key material, ...) to service processes. Environment variables set for a
           unit are exposed to unprivileged clients via D-Bus IPC, and generally not understood
           as being data that requires protection. Moreover, environment variables are propagated
           down the process tree, including across security boundaries (such as setuid/setgid
           executables), and hence might leak to processes that should not have access to the
           secret data.

       EnvironmentFile=
           Similar to Environment= but reads the environment variables from a text file. The text
           file should contain new-line-separated variable assignments. Empty lines, lines
           without an "=" separator, or lines starting with ; or # will be ignored, which may be
           used for commenting. A line ending with a backslash will be concatenated with the
           following one, allowing multiline variable definitions. The parser strips leading and
           trailing whitespace from the values of assignments, unless you use double quotes (").

           C escapes[5] are supported, but not most control characters[6].  "\t" and "\n" can be
           used to insert tabs and newlines within EnvironmentFile=.

           The argument passed should be an absolute filename or wildcard expression, optionally
           prefixed with "-", which indicates that if the file does not exist, it will not be
           read and no error or warning message is logged. This option may be specified more than
           once in which case all specified files are read. If the empty string is assigned to
           this option, the list of file to read is reset, all prior assignments have no effect.

           The files listed with this directive will be read shortly before the process is
           executed (more specifically, after all processes from a previous unit state
           terminated. This means you can generate these files in one unit state, and read it
           with this option in the next. The files are read from the file system of the service
           manager, before any file system changes like bind mounts take place).

           Settings from these files override settings made with Environment=. If the same
           variable is set twice from these files, the files will be read in the order they are
           specified and the later setting will override the earlier setting.

       PassEnvironment=
           Pass environment variables set for the system service manager to executed processes.
           Takes a space-separated list of variable names. This option may be specified more than
           once, in which case all listed variables will be passed. If the empty string is
           assigned to this option, the list of environment variables to pass is reset, all prior
           assignments have no effect. Variables specified that are not set for the system
           manager will not be passed and will be silently ignored. Note that this option is only
           relevant for the system service manager, as system services by default do not
           automatically inherit any environment variables set for the service manager itself.
           However, in case of the user service manager all environment variables are passed to
           the executed processes anyway, hence this option is without effect for the user
           service manager.

           Variables set for invoked processes due to this setting are subject to being
           overridden by those configured with Environment= or EnvironmentFile=.

           C escapes[5] are supported, but not most control characters[6].  "\t" and "\n" can be
           used to insert tabs and newlines within EnvironmentFile=.

           Example:

               PassEnvironment=VAR1 VAR2 VAR3

           passes three variables "VAR1", "VAR2", "VAR3" with the values set for those variables
           in PID1.

           See environ(7) for details about environment variables.

       UnsetEnvironment=
           Explicitly unset environment variable assignments that would normally be passed from
           the service manager to invoked processes of this unit. Takes a space-separated list of
           variable names or variable assignments. This option may be specified more than once,
           in which case all listed variables/assignments will be unset. If the empty string is
           assigned to this option, the list of environment variables/assignments to unset is
           reset. If a variable assignment is specified (that is: a variable name, followed by
           "=", followed by its value), then any environment variable matching this precise
           assignment is removed. If a variable name is specified (that is a variable name
           without any following "=" or value), then any assignment matching the variable name,
           regardless of its value is removed. Note that the effect of UnsetEnvironment= is
           applied as final step when the environment list passed to executed processes is
           compiled. That means it may undo assignments from any configuration source, including
           assignments made through Environment= or EnvironmentFile=, inherited from the system
           manager's global set of environment variables, inherited via PassEnvironment=, set by
           the service manager itself (such as $NOTIFY_SOCKET and such), or set by a PAM module
           (in case PAMName= is used).

           See environ(7) for details about environment variables.

LOGGING AND STANDARD INPUT/OUTPUT

       StandardInput=
           Controls where file descriptor 0 (STDIN) of the executed processes is connected to.
           Takes one of null, tty, tty-force, tty-fail, data, file:path, socket or fd:name.

           If null is selected, standard input will be connected to /dev/null, i.e. all read
           attempts by the process will result in immediate EOF.

           If tty is selected, standard input is connected to a TTY (as configured by TTYPath=,
           see below) and the executed process becomes the controlling process of the terminal.
           If the terminal is already being controlled by another process, the executed process
           waits until the current controlling process releases the terminal.

           tty-force is similar to tty, but the executed process is forcefully and immediately
           made the controlling process of the terminal, potentially removing previous
           controlling processes from the terminal.

           tty-fail is similar to tty, but if the terminal already has a controlling process
           start-up of the executed process fails.

           The data option may be used to configure arbitrary textual or binary data to pass via
           standard input to the executed process. The data to pass is configured via
           StandardInputText=/StandardInputData= (see below). Note that the actual file
           descriptor type passed (memory file, regular file, UNIX pipe, ...) might depend on the
           kernel and available privileges. In any case, the file descriptor is read-only, and
           when read returns the specified data followed by EOF.

           The file:path option may be used to connect a specific file system object to standard
           input. An absolute path following the ":" character is expected, which may refer to a
           regular file, a FIFO or special file. If an AF_UNIX socket in the file system is
           specified, a stream socket is connected to it. The latter is useful for connecting
           standard input of processes to arbitrary system services.

           The socket option is valid in socket-activated services only, and requires the
           relevant socket unit file (see systemd.socket(5) for details) to have Accept=yes set,
           or to specify a single socket only. If this option is set, standard input will be
           connected to the socket the service was activated from, which is primarily useful for
           compatibility with daemons designed for use with the traditional inetd(8) socket
           activation daemon.

           The fd:name option connects standard input to a specific, named file descriptor
           provided by a socket unit. The name may be specified as part of this option, following
           a ":" character (e.g.  "fd:foobar"). If no name is specified, the name "stdin" is
           implied (i.e.  "fd" is equivalent to "fd:stdin"). At least one socket unit defining
           the specified name must be provided via the Sockets= option, and the file descriptor
           name may differ from the name of its containing socket unit. If multiple matches are
           found, the first one will be used. See FileDescriptorName= in systemd.socket(5) for
           more details about named file descriptors and their ordering.

           This setting defaults to null.

           Note that services which specify DefaultDependencies=no and use StandardInput= or
           StandardOutput= with tty/tty-force/tty-fail, should specify
           After=systemd-vconsole-setup.service, to make sure that the tty initialization is
           finished before they start.

       StandardOutput=
           Controls where file descriptor 1 (stdout) of the executed processes is connected to.
           Takes one of inherit, null, tty, journal, kmsg, journal+console, kmsg+console,
           file:path, append:path, socket or fd:name.

           inherit duplicates the file descriptor of standard input for standard output.

           null connects standard output to /dev/null, i.e. everything written to it will be
           lost.

           tty connects standard output to a tty (as configured via TTYPath=, see below). If the
           TTY is used for output only, the executed process will not become the controlling
           process of the terminal, and will not fail or wait for other processes to release the
           terminal.

           journal connects standard output with the journal, which is accessible via
           journalctl(1). Note that everything that is written to kmsg (see below) is implicitly
           stored in the journal as well, the specific option listed below is hence a superset of
           this one. (Also note that any external, additional syslog daemons receive their log
           data from the journal, too, hence this is the option to use when logging shall be
           processed with such a daemon.)

           kmsg connects standard output with the kernel log buffer which is accessible via
           dmesg(1), in addition to the journal. The journal daemon might be configured to send
           all logs to kmsg anyway, in which case this option is no different from journal.

           journal+console and kmsg+console work in a similar way as the two options above but
           copy the output to the system console as well.

           The file:path option may be used to connect a specific file system object to standard
           output. The semantics are similar to the same option of StandardInput=, see above. If
           path refers to a regular file on the filesystem, it is opened (created if it doesn't
           exist yet) for writing at the beginning of the file, but without truncating it. If
           standard input and output are directed to the same file path, it is opened only once,
           for reading as well as writing and duplicated. This is particularly useful when the
           specified path refers to an AF_UNIX socket in the file system, as in that case only a
           single stream connection is created for both input and output.

           append:path is similar to file:path above, but it opens the file in append mode.

           socket connects standard output to a socket acquired via socket activation. The
           semantics are similar to the same option of StandardInput=, see above.

           The fd:name option connects standard output to a specific, named file descriptor
           provided by a socket unit. A name may be specified as part of this option, following a
           ":" character (e.g.  "fd:foobar"). If no name is specified, the name "stdout" is
           implied (i.e.  "fd" is equivalent to "fd:stdout"). At least one socket unit defining
           the specified name must be provided via the Sockets= option, and the file descriptor
           name may differ from the name of its containing socket unit. If multiple matches are
           found, the first one will be used. See FileDescriptorName= in systemd.socket(5) for
           more details about named descriptors and their ordering.

           If the standard output (or error output, see below) of a unit is connected to the
           journal or the kernel log buffer, the unit will implicitly gain a dependency of type
           After= on systemd-journald.socket (also see the "Implicit Dependencies" section
           above). Also note that in this case stdout (or stderr, see below) will be an AF_UNIX
           stream socket, and not a pipe or FIFO that can be re-opened. This means when executing
           shell scripts the construct echo "hello" > /dev/stderr for writing text to stderr will
           not work. To mitigate this use the construct echo "hello" >&2 instead, which is mostly
           equivalent and avoids this pitfall.

           This setting defaults to the value set with DefaultStandardOutput= in systemd-
           system.conf(5), which defaults to journal. Note that setting this parameter might
           result in additional dependencies to be added to the unit (see above).

       StandardError=
           Controls where file descriptor 2 (stderr) of the executed processes is connected to.
           The available options are identical to those of StandardOutput=, with some exceptions:
           if set to inherit the file descriptor used for standard output is duplicated for
           standard error, while fd:name will use a default file descriptor name of "stderr".

           This setting defaults to the value set with DefaultStandardError= in systemd-
           system.conf(5), which defaults to inherit. Note that setting this parameter might
           result in additional dependencies to be added to the unit (see above).

       StandardInputText=, StandardInputData=
           Configures arbitrary textual or binary data to pass via file descriptor 0 (STDIN) to
           the executed processes. These settings have no effect unless StandardInput= is set to
           data. Use this option to embed process input data directly in the unit file.

           StandardInputText= accepts arbitrary textual data. C-style escapes for special
           characters as well as the usual "%"-specifiers are resolved. Each time this setting is
           used the specified text is appended to the per-unit data buffer, followed by a newline
           character (thus every use appends a new line to the end of the buffer). Note that
           leading and trailing whitespace of lines configured with this option is removed. If an
           empty line is specified the buffer is cleared (hence, in order to insert an empty
           line, add an additional "\n" to the end or beginning of a line).

           StandardInputData= accepts arbitrary binary data, encoded in Base64[7]. No escape
           sequences or specifiers are resolved. Any whitespace in the encoded version is ignored
           during decoding.

           Note that StandardInputText= and StandardInputData= operate on the same data buffer,
           and may be mixed in order to configure both binary and textual data for the same input
           stream. The textual or binary data is joined strictly in the order the settings appear
           in the unit file. Assigning an empty string to either will reset the data buffer.

           Please keep in mind that in order to maintain readability long unit file settings may
           be split into multiple lines, by suffixing each line (except for the last) with a "\"
           character (see systemd.unit(5) for details). This is particularly useful for large
           data configured with these two options. Example:

               ...
               StandardInput=data
               StandardInputData=SWNrIHNpdHplIGRhIHVuJyBlc3NlIEtsb3BzLAp1ZmYgZWVtYWwga2xvcHAncy4KSWNrIGtpZWtl \
                                 LCBzdGF1bmUsIHd1bmRyZSBtaXIsCnVmZiBlZW1hbCBqZWh0IHNlIHVmZiBkaWUgVMO8ci4KTmFu \
                                 dSwgZGVuayBpY2ssIGljayBkZW5rIG5hbnUhCkpldHogaXNzZSB1ZmYsIGVyc2NodCB3YXIgc2Ug \
                                 enUhCkljayBqZWhlIHJhdXMgdW5kIGJsaWNrZSDigJQKdW5kIHdlciBzdGVodCBkcmF1w59lbj8g \
                                 SWNrZSEK
               ...

       LogLevelMax=
           Configures filtering by log level of log messages generated by this unit. Takes a
           syslog log level, one of emerg (lowest log level, only highest priority messages),
           alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug (highest log level, also lowest
           priority messages). See syslog(3) for details. By default no filtering is applied
           (i.e. the default maximum log level is debug). Use this option to configure the
           logging system to drop log messages of a specific service above the specified level.
           For example, set LogLevelMax=info in order to turn off debug logging of a particularly
           chatty unit. Note that the configured level is applied to any log messages written by
           any of the processes belonging to this unit, sent via any supported logging protocol.
           The filtering is applied early in the logging pipeline, before any kind of further
           processing is done. Moreover, messages which pass through this filter successfully
           might still be dropped by filters applied at a later stage in the logging subsystem.
           For example, MaxLevelStore= configured in journald.conf(5) might prohibit messages of
           higher log levels to be stored on disk, even though the per-unit LogLevelMax=
           permitted it to be processed.

       LogExtraFields=
           Configures additional log metadata fields to include in all log records generated by
           processes associated with this unit. This setting takes one or more journal field
           assignments in the format "FIELD=VALUE" separated by whitespace. See systemd.journal-
           fields(7) for details on the journal field concept. Even though the underlying journal
           implementation permits binary field values, this setting accepts only valid UTF-8
           values. To include space characters in a journal field value, enclose the assignment
           in double quotes (").  The usual specifiers are expanded in all assignments (see
           below). Note that this setting is not only useful for attaching additional metadata to
           log records of a unit, but given that all fields and values are indexed may also be
           used to implement cross-unit log record matching. Assign an empty string to reset the
           list.

       LogRateLimitIntervalSec=, LogRateLimitBurst=
           Configures the rate limiting that is applied to messages generated by this unit. If,
           in the time interval defined by LogRateLimitIntervalSec=, more messages than specified
           in LogRateLimitBurst= are logged by a service, all further messages within the
           interval are dropped until the interval is over. A message about the number of dropped
           messages is generated. The time specification for LogRateLimitIntervalSec= may be
           specified in the following units: "s", "min", "h", "ms", "us" (see systemd.time(7) for
           details). The default settings are set by RateLimitIntervalSec= and RateLimitBurst=
           configured in journald.conf(5).

       LogNamespace=
           Run the unit's processes in the specified journal namespace. Expects a short
           user-defined string identifying the namespace. If not used the processes of the
           service are run in the default journal namespace, i.e. their log stream is collected
           and processed by systemd-journald.service. If this option is used any log data
           generated by processes of this unit (regardless if via the syslog(), journal native
           logging or stdout/stderr logging) is collected and processed by an instance of the
           systemd-journald@.service template unit, which manages the specified namespace. The
           log data is stored in a data store independent from the default log namespace's data
           store. See systemd-journald.service(8) for details about journal namespaces.

           Internally, journal namespaces are implemented through Linux mount namespacing and
           over-mounting the directory that contains the relevant AF_UNIX sockets used for
           logging in the unit's mount namespace. Since mount namespaces are used this setting
           disconnects propagation of mounts from the unit's processes to the host, similar to
           how ReadOnlyPaths= and similar settings (see above) work. Journal namespaces may hence
           not be used for services that need to establish mount points on the host.

           When this option is used the unit will automatically gain ordering and requirement
           dependencies on the two socket units associated with the systemd-journald@.service
           instance so that they are automatically established prior to the unit starting up.
           Note that when this option is used log output of this service does not appear in the
           regular journalctl(1) output, unless the --namespace= option is used.

       SyslogIdentifier=
           Sets the process name ("syslog tag") to prefix log lines sent to the logging system or
           the kernel log buffer with. If not set, defaults to the process name of the executed
           process. This option is only useful when StandardOutput= or StandardError= are set to
           journal or kmsg (or to the same settings in combination with +console) and only
           applies to log messages written to stdout or stderr.

       SyslogFacility=
           Sets the syslog facility identifier to use when logging. One of kern, user, mail,
           daemon, auth, syslog, lpr, news, uucp, cron, authpriv, ftp, local0, local1, local2,
           local3, local4, local5, local6 or local7. See syslog(3) for details. This option is
           only useful when StandardOutput= or StandardError= are set to journal or kmsg (or to
           the same settings in combination with +console), and only applies to log messages
           written to stdout or stderr. Defaults to daemon.

       SyslogLevel=
           The default syslog log level to use when logging to the logging system or the kernel
           log buffer. One of emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug. See
           syslog(3) for details. This option is only useful when StandardOutput= or
           StandardError= are set to journal or kmsg (or to the same settings in combination with
           +console), and only applies to log messages written to stdout or stderr. Note that
           individual lines output by executed processes may be prefixed with a different log
           level which can be used to override the default log level specified here. The
           interpretation of these prefixes may be disabled with SyslogLevelPrefix=, see below.
           For details, see sd-daemon(3). Defaults to info.

       SyslogLevelPrefix=
           Takes a boolean argument. If true and StandardOutput= or StandardError= are set to
           journal or kmsg (or to the same settings in combination with +console), log lines
           written by the executed process that are prefixed with a log level will be processed
           with this log level set but the prefix removed. If set to false, the interpretation of
           these prefixes is disabled and the logged lines are passed on as-is. This only applies
           to log messages written to stdout or stderr. For details about this prefixing see sd-
           daemon(3). Defaults to true.

       TTYPath=
           Sets the terminal device node to use if standard input, output, or error are connected
           to a TTY (see above). Defaults to /dev/console.

       TTYReset=
           Reset the terminal device specified with TTYPath= before and after execution. Defaults
           to "no".

       TTYVHangup=
           Disconnect all clients which have opened the terminal device specified with TTYPath=
           before and after execution. Defaults to "no".

       TTYVTDisallocate=
           If the terminal device specified with TTYPath= is a virtual console terminal, try to
           deallocate the TTY before and after execution. This ensures that the screen and
           scrollback buffer is cleared. Defaults to "no".

SYSTEM V COMPATIBILITY

       UtmpIdentifier=
           Takes a four character identifier string for an utmp(5) and wtmp entry for this
           service. This should only be set for services such as getty implementations (such as
           agetty(8)) where utmp/wtmp entries must be created and cleared before and after
           execution, or for services that shall be executed as if they were run by a getty
           process (see below). If the configured string is longer than four characters, it is
           truncated and the terminal four characters are used. This setting interprets %I style
           string replacements. This setting is unset by default, i.e. no utmp/wtmp entries are
           created or cleaned up for this service.

       UtmpMode=
           Takes one of "init", "login" or "user". If UtmpIdentifier= is set, controls which type
           of utmp(5)/wtmp entries for this service are generated. This setting has no effect
           unless UtmpIdentifier= is set too. If "init" is set, only an INIT_PROCESS entry is
           generated and the invoked process must implement a getty-compatible utmp/wtmp logic.
           If "login" is set, first an INIT_PROCESS entry, followed by a LOGIN_PROCESS entry is
           generated. In this case, the invoked process must implement a login(1)-compatible
           utmp/wtmp logic. If "user" is set, first an INIT_PROCESS entry, then a LOGIN_PROCESS
           entry and finally a USER_PROCESS entry is generated. In this case, the invoked process
           may be any process that is suitable to be run as session leader. Defaults to "init".

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES IN SPAWNED PROCESSES

       Processes started by the service manager are executed with an environment variable block
       assembled from multiple sources. Processes started by the system service manager generally
       do not inherit environment variables set for the service manager itself (but this may be
       altered via PassEnvironment=), but processes started by the user service manager instances
       generally do inherit all environment variables set for the service manager itself.

       For each invoked process the list of environment variables set is compiled from the
       following sources:

       •   Variables globally configured for the service manager, using the DefaultEnvironment=
           setting in systemd-system.conf(5), the kernel command line option systemd.setenv= (see
           systemd(1)) or via systemctl set-environment (see systemctl(1)).

       •   Variables defined by the service manager itself (see the list below)

       •   Variables set in the service manager's own environment variable block (subject to
           PassEnvironment= for the system service manager)

       •   Variables set via Environment= in the unit file

       •   Variables read from files specified via EnvironmentFile= in the unit file

       •   Variables set by any PAM modules in case PAMName= is in effect, cf. pam_env(8)

       If the same environment variables are set by multiple of these sources, the later source —
       according to the order of the list above — wins. Note that as final step all variables
       listed in UnsetEnvironment= are removed again from the compiled environment variable list,
       immediately before it is passed to the executed process.

       The following select environment variables are set or propagated by the service manager
       for each invoked process:

       $PATH
           Colon-separated list of directories to use when launching executables.  systemd uses a
           fixed value of "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" in the system
           manager. When compiled for systems with "unmerged /usr" (/bin is not a symlink to
           /usr/bin), ":/sbin:/bin" is appended. In case of the the user manager, a different
           path may be configured by the distribution. It is recommended to not rely on the order
           of entries, and have only one program with a given name in $PATH.

       $LANG
           Locale. Can be set in locale.conf(5) or on the kernel command line (see systemd(1) and
           kernel-command-line(7)).

       $USER, $LOGNAME, $HOME, $SHELL
           User name (twice), home directory, and the login shell. The variables are set for the
           units that have User= set, which includes user systemd instances. See passwd(5).

       $INVOCATION_ID
           Contains a randomized, unique 128bit ID identifying each runtime cycle of the unit,
           formatted as 32 character hexadecimal string. A new ID is assigned each time the unit
           changes from an inactive state into an activating or active state, and may be used to
           identify this specific runtime cycle, in particular in data stored offline, such as
           the journal. The same ID is passed to all processes run as part of the unit.

       $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
           The directory to use for runtime objects (such as IPC objects) and volatile state. Set
           for all services run by the user systemd instance, as well as any system services that
           use PAMName= with a PAM stack that includes pam_systemd. See below and pam_systemd(8)
           for more information.

       $RUNTIME_DIRECTORY, $STATE_DIRECTORY, $CACHE_DIRECTORY, $LOGS_DIRECTORY,
       $CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY
           Contains and absolute paths to the directories defined with RuntimeDirectory=,
           StateDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, LogsDirectory=, and ConfigurationDirectory= when
           those settings are used.

       $MAINPID
           The PID of the unit's main process if it is known. This is only set for control
           processes as invoked by ExecReload= and similar.

       $MANAGERPID
           The PID of the user systemd instance, set for processes spawned by it.

       $LISTEN_FDS, $LISTEN_PID, $LISTEN_FDNAMES
           Information about file descriptors passed to a service for socket activation. See
           sd_listen_fds(3).

       $NOTIFY_SOCKET
           The socket sd_notify() talks to. See sd_notify(3).

       $WATCHDOG_PID, $WATCHDOG_USEC
           Information about watchdog keep-alive notifications. See sd_watchdog_enabled(3).

       $TERM
           Terminal type, set only for units connected to a terminal (StandardInput=tty,
           StandardOutput=tty, or StandardError=tty). See termcap(5).

       $JOURNAL_STREAM
           If the standard output or standard error output of the executed processes are
           connected to the journal (for example, by setting StandardError=journal)
           $JOURNAL_STREAM contains the device and inode numbers of the connection file
           descriptor, formatted in decimal, separated by a colon (":"). This permits invoked
           processes to safely detect whether their standard output or standard error output are
           connected to the journal. The device and inode numbers of the file descriptors should
           be compared with the values set in the environment variable to determine whether the
           process output is still connected to the journal. Note that it is generally not
           sufficient to only check whether $JOURNAL_STREAM is set at all as services might
           invoke external processes replacing their standard output or standard error output,
           without unsetting the environment variable.

           If both standard output and standard error of the executed processes are connected to
           the journal via a stream socket, this environment variable will contain information
           about the standard error stream, as that's usually the preferred destination for log
           data. (Note that typically the same stream is used for both standard output and
           standard error, hence very likely the environment variable contains device and inode
           information matching both stream file descriptors.)

           This environment variable is primarily useful to allow services to optionally upgrade
           their used log protocol to the native journal protocol (using sd_journal_print(3) and
           other functions) if their standard output or standard error output is connected to the
           journal anyway, thus enabling delivery of structured metadata along with logged
           messages.

       $SERVICE_RESULT
           Only defined for the service unit type, this environment variable is passed to all
           ExecStop= and ExecStopPost= processes, and encodes the service "result". Currently,
           the following values are defined:

           This environment variable is useful to monitor failure or successful termination of a
           service. Even though this variable is available in both ExecStop= and ExecStopPost=,
           it is usually a better choice to place monitoring tools in the latter, as the former
           is only invoked for services that managed to start up correctly, and the latter covers
           both services that failed during their start-up and those which failed during their
           runtime.

       $EXIT_CODE, $EXIT_STATUS
           Only defined for the service unit type, these environment variables are passed to all
           ExecStop=, ExecStopPost= processes and contain exit status/code information of the
           main process of the service. For the precise definition of the exit code and status,
           see wait(2).  $EXIT_CODE is one of "exited", "killed", "dumped".  $EXIT_STATUS
           contains the numeric exit code formatted as string if $EXIT_CODE is "exited", and the
           signal name in all other cases. Note that these environment variables are only set if
           the service manager succeeded to start and identify the main process of the service.

       $PIDFILE
           The path to the configured PID file, in case the process is forked off on behalf of a
           service that uses the PIDFile= setting, see systemd.service(5) for details. Service
           code may use this environment variable to automatically generate a PID file at the
           location configured in the unit file. This field is set to an absolute path in the
           file system.

       For system services, when PAMName= is enabled and pam_systemd is part of the selected PAM
       stack, additional environment variables defined by systemd may be set for services.
       Specifically, these are $XDG_SEAT, $XDG_VTNR, see pam_systemd(8) for details.

PROCESS EXIT CODES

       When invoking a unit process the service manager possibly fails to apply the execution
       parameters configured with the settings above. In that case the already created service
       process will exit with a non-zero exit code before the configured command line is
       executed. (Or in other words, the child process possibly exits with these error codes,
       after having been created by the fork(2) system call, but before the matching execve(2)
       system call is called.) Specifically, exit codes defined by the C library, by the LSB
       specification and by the systemd service manager itself are used.

       The following basic service exit codes are defined by the C library.
