NAME

       cdist-type__systemd_unit - Install a systemd unit

DESCRIPTION

       This type manages systemd units in /etc/systemd/system/. It can install, enable and start a systemd unit.
       This is particularly useful on systems which take advantage of systemd heavily (e.g., CoreOS).  For  more
       information about systemd units, see SYSTEMD.UNIT(5).

              disabled
                     disables the unit

              masked masks the unit
