This unit acts as a dynamic "alias" target for any concrete graphical user
session like gnome-session.target; these should declare
"BindsTo=graphical-session.target" so that both targets stop and start at the
same time.
This allows services that run in a particular graphical user session (e. g.
gnome-settings-daemon.service) to declare "PartOf=graphical-session.target"
without having to know or get updated for all/new session types. This will
ensure that stopping the graphical session will stop all services which are
associated to it.
Accept both files with and without trailing newlines. Apparently some rkt
releases generated them incorrectly, missing the trailing newlines, and we
shouldn't break that.
All pending tokens are already serialized correctly and will be handled
when the mount unit is done.
Without this a 'daemon-reload' cancels all pending tokens. Any process
waiting for the mount will continue with EHOSTDOWN.
This can happen when the mount unit waits for it's dependencies, e.g.
network, devices, fsck, etc.
This is important if a job was queued for a unit but not yet started.
Without this, the job will be canceled and is never executed even though
IgnoreOnIsolate it set to 'true'.

This happens because map_basic() strdups the strings. Other code in systemctl
assigns strings to UnitStatusInfo without copying them, relying on the fact
that the message is longer lived than UnitStatusInfo. Add a helper function
that is similar to map_basic, but only accepts strings and does not copy them.
The alternative of continuing to use map_basic() but adding proper cleanup
to free fields in UnitStatusInfo seems less attractive because it'd require
changing a lot of code and doing a lot of more allocations for little gain.
(I put "leaking" in quotes, because systemctl is short lived anyway.)
As suggested by @mbiebl we already use the "!" special char in unit file
assignments for negation, hence we should not use it in a different context for
privileged execution. Let's use "+" instead.
To "search something", in the meaning of looking for it, is valid,
but "search _for_ something" is much more commonly used, especially when
the meaning could be confused with "looking _through_ something"
(for some other object).
(C.f. "the police search a person", "the police search for a person".)
Also reword the rest of the paragraph to avoid using "automatically"
three times.
"strict versioned dependency" suggests that version "231" of the library
is stable. But the ABI or API might be changed in any patch, so reword
the text to avoid using "version".
Not as many people use chroot as before, so make the flow a bit nicer by
talking less about chroot.
"change to the either" is awkward and unclear. Just remove that part,
because all changes are lost, period.
User expectations are broken when "systemctl enable /some/path/service.service"
behaves differently to "systemctl link ..." followed by "systemctl enable".
From user's POV, "enable" with the full path just combines the two steps into
one.
Fixes#3010.
If user isolates rescue target from multi-user or graphical target (or just
starts the service), IgnoreOnIsolate will cause issues with sulogin which is
directly started on current virtual console. This patch adds necessary
Conflicts= and Before= against rescue.service.
Note that this is not needed for emergency target, as implicit Requires= and
After= against sysinit.target is in effect for this service
(DefaultDependencies=yes).
Before this patch, a service file with ReadWriteDirectories=/file...
could fail if the file exists but is not a mountpoint, despite being
listed in /proc/self/mountinfo. It could happen with masked mounts.
Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3793
Clarify that "systemctl enable" can operate either on unit names or on unit
file paths (also, adjust the --help text to clarify this). Say that "systemctl
enable" on unit file paths also links the unit into the search path.
Many other fixes.
This should improve the documentation to avoid further confusion around #3706.
Let's not mention the supposed security benefit of turning off caching. It is
really questionnable, and I#d rather not create the impression that we actually
believed turning off caching would be a good idea.
Instead, mention that Cache=no is implicit if a DNS server on the local host is
used.
