    <title>Description</title>

    <para>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.</para>

    <para>This man page lists the configuration options shared by
    these four unit types. See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for the common options of all unit configuration files, and

    and
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for more information on the specific unit configuration files. The
    execution specific configuration options are configured in the

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>Environment=</varname></term>

        <listitem><para>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 to a variable, use double
        quotes (") for the assignment.</para>

        <para>Example:
        <programlisting>Environment="VAR1=word1 word2" VAR2=word3 "VAR3=$word 5 6"</programlisting>
        gives three variables <literal>VAR1</literal>,

      <varlistentry>
        <term><varname>EnvironmentFile=</varname></term>
        <listitem><para>Similar to <varname>Environment=</varname> but
        reads the environment variables from a text file. The text
        file should contain new-line-separated variable assignments.
        Empty lines and 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 (").</para>

        <para>The argument passed should be an absolute filename or
        wildcard expression, optionally prefixed with
        <literal>-</literal>, 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.</para>

        <para>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).</para>

        <para>Settings from these
        files override settings made with
        <varname>Environment=</varname>. 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.</para></listitem>

        <listitem><para>Controls where file descriptor 0 (STDIN) of
        the executed processes is connected to. Takes one of

        <option>tty</option>,
        <option>tty-force</option>,
        <option>tty-fail</option> or
        <option>socket</option>.</para>

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

        <para>If <option>tty</option> is selected, standard input is
        connected to a TTY (as configured by
        <varname>TTYPath=</varname>, 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.</para>

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

        <para><option>tty-fail</option> is similar to
        <option>tty</option> but if the terminal already has a
        controlling process start-up of the executed process
        fails.</para>

        <para>The <option>socket</option> option is only valid in
        socket-activated services, and only when the socket
        configuration file (see
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
        for details) specifies 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
        <citerefentry project='freebsd'><refentrytitle>inetd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>

        <term><varname>StandardOutput=</varname></term>
        <listitem><para>Controls where file descriptor 1 (STDOUT) of

        <option>syslog+console</option>,
        <option>kmsg+console</option> or
        <option>socket</option>.</para>

        <para><option>inherit</option> duplicates the file descriptor
        of standard input for standard output.</para>

        <para><option>null</option> connects standard output to
        <filename>/dev/null</filename>, i.e. everything written to it
        will be lost.</para>

        <para><option>tty</option> connects standard output to a tty
        (as configured via <varname>TTYPath=</varname>, 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.</para>

        <para><option>journal</option> connects standard output with
        the journal which is accessible via
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>journalctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
        Note that everything that is written to syslog or kmsg (see
        below) is implicitly stored in the journal as well, the
        specific two options listed below are hence supersets of this
        one.</para>

        <para><option>syslog</option> connects standard output to the
        <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>syslog</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
        system syslog service, in addition to the journal. Note that
        the journal daemon is usually configured to forward everything
        it receives to syslog anyway, in which case this option is no
        different from <option>journal</option>.</para>

        <para><option>kmsg</option> connects standard output with the
        kernel log buffer which is accessible via
        <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>dmesg</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
        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 <option>journal</option>.</para>

        <para><option>journal+console</option>,
        <option>syslog+console</option> and
        <option>kmsg+console</option> work in a similar way as the
        three options above but copy the output to the system console
        as well.</para>

        <para><option>socket</option> connects standard output to a
        socket acquired via socket activation. The semantics are
        similar to the same option of
        <varname>StandardInput=</varname>.</para>

        <para>This setting defaults to the value set with
        <option>DefaultStandardOutput=</option> in

        <varname>NoNewPrivileges=yes</varname> is implied. This
        feature makes use of the Secure Computing Mode 2 interfaces of

        right after it add a blacklisting of

        prohibit execution of 32-bit x86 binaries on 64-bit x86-64
        systems. The special <constant>native</constant> identifier
        implicitly maps to the native architecture of the system (or
