<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-sysv-generator</filename> is a generator
that creates wrapper .service units for
<ulink url="https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sysvinit">SysV init</ulink>
scripts in <filename>/etc/init.d/*</filename> at boot and when
configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will allow
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to support them similarly to native units.</para>
<para><ulink url="http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_3.1.1/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html">LSB headers</ulink>
in SysV init scripts are interpreted, and the ordering specified
in the header is turned into dependencies between the generated
unit and other units. LSB facilities
<literal>$remote_fs</literal>, <literal>$network</literal>,
<literal>$named</literal>, <literal>$portmap</literal>,
<literal>$time</literal> are supported and will be turned into
dependencies on specific native systemd targets. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more details.</para>
<para>SysV runlevels have corresponding systemd targets
(<filename>runlevel<replaceable>X</replaceable>.target</filename>).
Wrapper unit that is generated will be wanted by those targets
which correspond to runlevels for which the script is
enabled.</para>
<para><command>systemd</command> does not supports SysV scripts as
part of early boot, so all wrapper units are ordered after
<filename>basic.target</filename>.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-sysv-generator</filename> implements
