NAME

       dh_systemd_enable - enable/disable systemd unit files

SYNOPSIS

       dh_systemd_enable [debhelper options] [--no-enable] [unit file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_systemd_enable is a debhelper program that is responsible for enabling and disabling systemd unit
       files.

       In the simple case, it finds all unit files installed by a package (e.g.  bacula-fd.service) and enables
       them. It is not necessary that the machine actually runs systemd during package installation time,
       enabling happens on all machines in order to be able to switch from sysvinit to systemd and back.

       In the complex case, you can call dh_systemd_enable and dh_systemd_start manually (by overwriting the
       debian/rules targets) and specify flags per unit file. An example is colord, which ships colord.service,
       a dbus-activated service without an [Install] section. This service file cannot be enabled or disabled (a
       state called "static" by systemd) because it has no [Install] section. Therefore, running
       dh_systemd_enable does not make sense.

FILES

       debian/package.service
           If  this  exists,  it  is  installed  into  lib/systemd/system/package.service  in  the package build
           directory.

       debian/package.tmpfile
           If this exists, it is installed into usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/package.conf in the package build  directory.
           (The tmpfiles.d mechanism is currently only used by systemd.)

OPTIONS

       --no-enable
           Just disable the service(s) on purge, but do not enable them by default.

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command
       (with  the  same  arguments).  Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to
       maintainer scripts.

       Note that dh_systemd_enable should be run before dh_installinit.  The default sequence  in  dh  does  the
       right thing, this note is only relevant when you are calling dh_systemd_enable manually.
