          <listitem>
            <para>List units that <command>systemd</command> currently has in memory. This includes units that are
            either referenced directly or through a dependency, units that are pinned by applications programmatically,
            or units that were active in the past and have failed. By default, only units which are active, have pending
            jobs, or have failed are shown; this can be changed with option <option>--all</option>. If one or more
            <replaceable>PATTERN</replaceable>s are specified, only units matching one of them are shown. The units
            that are shown are additionally filtered by <option>--type=</option> and <option>--state=</option> if those
            options are specified.</para>

            <para>Note that this command does not show unit templates, but only instances of unit
            templates. Units templates that are not instantiated are not runnable, and will thus never show up
            in the output of this command. Specifically this means that <filename>foo@.service</filename>
            will never be shown in this list — unless instantiated, e.g. as
            <filename>foo@bar.service</filename>. Use <command>list-unit-files</command> (see below) for
            listing installed unit template files.</para>

            <para>Produces output similar to

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

            <para>The SUB column shows the unit-type-specific detailed state of the unit, possible values
            vary by unit type. The list of possible LOAD, ACTIVE, and SUB states is not constant and new
            systemd releases may both add and remove values.

          <term><command>status</command> <optional><replaceable>PATTERN</replaceable>…|<replaceable>PID</replaceable>…]</optional></term>

          <listitem>
            <para>Show runtime status information about the whole system or about one or more units followed
            by most recent log data from the journal. If no positional arguments are specified, and no unit
            filter is given with <option>--type=</option>, <option>--state=</option>, or
            <option>--failed</option>, shows the status of the whole system. If combined with
            <option>--all</option>, follows that with the status of all units. If positional arguments are
            specified, each positional argument is treated as either a unit name to show, or a glob pattern
            to show units whose names match that pattern, or a PID to show the unit containing that PID. When
            <option>--type=</option>, <option>--state=</option>, or <option>--failed</option> are used, units
            are additionally filtered by the TYPE and ACTIVE state.</para>

            <para>This function is intended to generate human-readable output. If you are looking for
            computer-parsable output, use <command>show</command> instead. By default, this function only
            shows 10 lines of output and ellipsizes lines to fit in the terminal window. This can be changed
            with <option>--lines</option> and <option>--full</option>, see above. In addition,
            <command>journalctl --unit=<replaceable>NAME</replaceable></command> or <command>journalctl
            --user-unit=<replaceable>NAME</replaceable></command> use a similar filter for messages and might
            be more convenient.</para>

            <para>Note that this operation only displays <emphasis>runtime</emphasis> status, i.e. information about
            the current invocation of the unit (if it is running) or the most recent invocation (if it is not
            running anymore, and has not been released from memory). Information about earlier invocations,
            invocations from previous system boots, or prior invocations that have already been released from
            memory may be retrieved via <command>journalctl --unit=</command>.</para>

            <para>systemd implicitly loads units as necessary, so just running the <command>status</command>
            will attempt to load a file. The command is thus not useful for determining if something was
            already loaded or not.  The units may possibly also be quickly unloaded after the operation is
            completed if there's no reason to keep it in memory thereafter.</para>

            <para>The dot ("●") uses color on supported terminals to summarize the unit state at a
            glance. Along with its color, its shape varies according to its state:
            <literal>inactive</literal> or <literal>maintenance</literal> is a white circle ("○"),
            <literal>active</literal> is a green dot ("●"), <literal>deactivating</literal> is a white dot,
            <literal>failed</literal> or <literal>error</literal> is a red cross ("×"), and
            <literal>reloading</literal> or <literal>refreshing</literal> is a green clockwise circle arrow
            ("↻").</para>

            <para>The "Loaded:" line in the output will show <literal>loaded</literal> if the unit has been
            loaded into memory. Other possible values for "Loaded:" include: <literal>error</literal> if
            there was a problem loading it, <literal>not-found</literal> if no unit file was found for this
            unit, <literal>bad-setting</literal> if an essential unit file setting could not be parsed and
            <literal>masked</literal> if the unit file has been masked. Along with showing the path to the
            unit file, this line will also show the enablement state.  Enabled units are included in the
            dependency network between units, and thus are started at boot or via some other form of
            activation.  See the full table of possible enablement states — including the definition of
            <literal>masked</literal> — in the documentation for the <command>is-enabled</command> command.
            </para>

            <para>The "Active:" line shows active state.  The value is usually <literal>active</literal> or
            <literal>inactive</literal>. Active could mean started, bound, plugged in, etc depending on the
            unit type.  The unit could also be in process of changing states, reporting a state of
            <literal>activating</literal> or <literal>deactivating</literal>. A special
            <literal>failed</literal> state is entered when the service failed in some way, such as a crash,
            exiting with an error code or timing out. If the failed state is entered the cause will be logged
            for later reference.</para>

          <listitem>
            <para>Show properties of one or more units, jobs, or the manager itself. If no argument is specified,
            properties of the manager will be shown. If a unit name is specified, properties of the unit are shown, and
            if a job ID is specified, properties of the job are shown. By default, empty properties are suppressed. Use
            <option>--all</option> to show those too. To select specific properties to show, use
            <option>--property=</option>. This command is intended to be used whenever computer-parsable output is
            required. Use <command>status</command> if you are looking for formatted human-readable output.</para>

            <para>Many properties shown by <command>systemctl show</command> map directly to configuration settings of
            the system and service manager and its unit files. Note that the properties shown by the command are
            generally more low-level, normalized versions of the original configuration settings and expose runtime
            state in addition to configuration. For example, properties shown for service units include the service's
            current main process identifier as <literal>MainPID</literal> (which is runtime state), and time settings
            are always exposed as properties ending in the <literal>…USec</literal> suffix even if a matching
            configuration options end in <literal>…Sec</literal>, because microseconds is the normalized time unit used
            internally by the system and service manager.</para>

            <para>Start (activate) one or more units specified on the command line.</para>

            <para>Note that unit glob patterns expand to names of units currently in memory. Units which are
            not active and are not in a failed state usually are not in memory, and will not be matched by
            any pattern. In addition, in case of instantiated units, systemd is often unaware of the instance
            name until the instance has been started. Therefore, using glob patterns with
            <command>start</command> has limited usefulness. Also, secondary alias names of units are not
            considered.</para>

            <para>Option <option>--all</option> may be used to also operate on inactive units which are
            referenced by other loaded units. Note that this is not the same as operating on "all" possible
            units, because as the previous paragraph describes, such a list is ill-defined. Nevertheless,
            <command>systemctl start --all <replaceable>GLOB</replaceable></command> may be useful if all the
            units that should match the pattern are pulled in by some target which is known to be loaded.

          <listitem>
            <para>Enable one or more units or unit instances. This will create a set of symlinks, as encoded in the
            [Install] sections of the indicated unit files. After the symlinks have been created,
            the system manager configuration is reloaded (in a way equivalent to <command>daemon-reload</command>), in
            order to ensure the changes are taken into account immediately. Note that this does
            <emphasis>not</emphasis> have the effect of also starting any of the units being enabled. If this is
            desired, combine this command with the <option>--now</option> switch, or invoke <command>start</command>
            with appropriate arguments later. Note that in case of unit instance enablement (i.e. enablement of units of
            the form <filename>foo@bar.service</filename>), symlinks named the same as instances are created in the
            unit configuration directory, however they point to the single template unit file they are instantiated
            from.</para>

            <para>This command expects either valid unit names (in which case various unit file directories are
            automatically searched for unit files with appropriate names), or absolute paths to unit files (in which
            case these files are read directly). If a specified unit file is located outside of the usual unit file
            directories, an additional symlink is created, linking it into the unit configuration path, thus ensuring
            it is found when requested by commands such as <command>start</command>. The file system where the linked
            unit files are located must be accessible when systemd is started (e.g. anything underneath
            <filename>/home/</filename> or <filename>/var/</filename> is not allowed, unless those directories are
            located on the root file system).</para>

            <para>This command will print the file system operations executed. This output may be suppressed by passing
            <option>--quiet</option>.
            </para>

            <para>Note that this operation creates only the symlinks suggested in the [Install]
            section of the unit files. While this command is the recommended way to manipulate the unit configuration
            directory, the administrator is free to make additional changes manually by placing or removing symlinks
            below this directory. This is particularly useful to create configurations that deviate from the suggested
            default installation. In this case, the administrator must make sure to invoke
            <command>daemon-reload</command> manually as necessary, in order to ensure the changes are taken into
            account.
            </para>

            <para>When using this operation on units without install information, a warning about it is shown.
            <option>--no-warn</option> can be used to suppress the warning.</para>

            <para>Enabling units should not be confused with starting (activating) units, as done by the
            <command>start</command> command. Enabling and starting units is orthogonal: units may be enabled without
            being started and started without being enabled. Enabling simply hooks the unit into various suggested
            places (for example, so that the unit is automatically started on boot or when a particular kind of
            hardware is plugged in). Starting actually spawns the daemon process (in case of service units), or binds
            the socket (in case of socket units), and so on.</para>

            <para>Depending on whether <option>--system</option>, <option>--user</option>, <option>--runtime</option>,
            or <option>--global</option> is specified, this enables the unit for the system, for the calling user only,
            for only this boot of the system, or for all future logins of all users.  Note that in the last case, no
            systemd daemon configuration is reloaded.</para>

            from the unit configuration directory, and hence undoes any changes made by <command>enable</command> or
            <command>link</command>. Note that this removes <emphasis>all</emphasis> symlinks to matching unit files,
            including manually created symlinks, and not just those actually created by <command>enable</command> or
            <command>link</command>. Note that while <command>disable</command> undoes the effect of
            <command>enable</command>, the two commands are otherwise not symmetric, as <command>disable</command> may
            remove more symlinks than a prior <command>enable</command> invocation of the same unit created.</para>

            <para>This command implicitly reloads the system manager configuration after completing the operation. Note

            with appropriate arguments later.</para>

            <para>When this command is used with <option>--user</option>, the units being operated on might
            still be enabled in global scope, and thus get started automatically even after a successful

            using <option>--no-warn</option>.</para>

          <listitem>
            <para>Mask one or more units, as specified on the command line. This will link these unit files
            to <filename>/dev/null</filename>, making it impossible to start them. This is a stronger version
            of <command>disable</command>, since it prohibits all kinds of activation of the unit, including
            enablement and manual activation. Use this option with care. This honors the
            <option>--runtime</option> option to only mask temporarily until the next reboot of the
            system. The <option>--now</option> option may be used to ensure that the units are also
            stopped. This command expects valid unit names only, it does not accept unit file paths.</para>

            <para>Note that this will create a symlink under the unit's name in
            <filename>/etc/systemd/system/</filename> (in case <option>--runtime</option> is not specified)
            or <filename>/run/systemd/system/</filename> (in case <option>--runtime</option> is
            specified). If a matching unit file already exists under these directories this operation will
            hence fail. This means that the operation is primarily useful to mask units shipped by the vendor
            (as those are shipped in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system/</filename> and not the aforementioned
            two directories), but typically does not work for units created locally (as those are typically
            placed precisely in the two aforementioned directories). Similar restrictions apply for
            <option>--user</option> mode, in which case the directories are below the user's home directory
            however.</para>

            <para>If a unit gets masked but its triggering units are still active, a warning containing
            the names of the triggering units is shown. <option>--no-warn</option> can be used to suppress
            the warning.</para>

            such as <command>start</command>, even though it is not installed directly in the unit search path. The
            file system where the linked unit files are located must be accessible when systemd is started

            files that modify the specified units, as well as any user-configured unit file that overrides a matching
            vendor supplied unit file. Specifically, for a unit <literal>foo.service</literal> the matching directories
            <literal>foo.service.d/</literal> with all their contained files are removed, both below the persistent and
            runtime configuration directories (i.e. below <filename>/etc/systemd/system</filename> and
            <filename>/run/systemd/system</filename>); if the unit file has a vendor-supplied version (i.e. a unit file
            located below <filename>/usr/</filename>) any matching persistent or runtime unit file that overrides it is
            removed, too. Note that if a unit file has no vendor-supplied version (i.e. is only defined below
            <filename>/etc/systemd/system</filename> or <filename>/run/systemd/system</filename>, but not in a unit
            file stored below <filename>/usr/</filename>), then it is not removed. Also, if a unit is masked, it is
            unmasked.</para>

            <para>The editor (see the "Environment" section below) is invoked on temporary files which will
            be written to the real location if the editor exits successfully. After the editing is finished,

            <para>The unit must exist, i.e. its main unit file must be present. If <option>--force</option>
            is specified, this requirement is ignored and a new unit may be created (with

            <para>If the temporary file is empty upon exit, the modification of
            the related unit is canceled.</para>

            <para>Note that this command cannot be used to remotely edit units
            and that you cannot temporarily edit units which are in

      <title>Parameter Syntax</title>

      <para>Unit commands listed above take either a single unit name (designated as <replaceable>UNIT</replaceable>),
      or multiple unit specifications (designated as <replaceable>PATTERN</replaceable>…). In the first case, the
      unit name with or without a suffix must be given. If the suffix is not specified (unit name is "abbreviated"),
      systemctl will append a suitable suffix, <literal>.service</literal> by default, and a type-specific suffix in
      case of commands which operate only on specific unit types. For example,
      <programlisting># systemctl start sshd</programlisting> and
      <programlisting># systemctl start sshd.service</programlisting>
      are equivalent, as are
      <programlisting># systemctl isolate default</programlisting>
      and
      <programlisting># systemctl isolate default.target</programlisting>
      Note that (absolute) paths to device nodes are automatically converted to device unit names, and other (absolute)
      paths to mount unit names.
      <programlisting># systemctl status /dev/sda
# systemctl status /home</programlisting>
      are equivalent to:
      <programlisting># systemctl status dev-sda.device
# systemctl status home.mount</programlisting>
      In the second case, shell-style globs will be matched against the primary names of all units currently in memory;
      literal unit names, with or without a suffix, will be treated as in the first case. This means that literal unit
      names always refer to exactly one unit, but globs may match zero units and this is not considered an
      error.</para>

      <para>Glob patterns use
      <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fnmatch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
      so normal shell-style globbing rules are used, and
      <literal>*</literal>, <literal>?</literal>,
      <literal>[]</literal> may be used. See
      <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>glob</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
      for more details. The patterns are matched against the primary names of
      units currently in memory, and patterns which do not match anything
      are silently skipped. For example:
      <programlisting># systemctl stop "sshd@*.service"</programlisting>
      will stop all <filename>sshd@.service</filename> instances. Note that alias names of units, and units that are not
      in memory are not considered for glob expansion.
      </para>

      <para>For unit file commands, the specified <replaceable>UNIT</replaceable> should be the name of the unit file
      (possibly abbreviated, see above), or the absolute path to the unit file:
      <programlisting># systemctl enable foo.service</programlisting>
      or
      <programlisting># systemctl link /path/to/foo.service</programlisting>

          <para>If <literal>fail</literal> is specified and a requested operation on weak dependencies
          conflicts with a pending job (more specifically: causes an already pending start job to be reversed

          <para>If <literal>lenient</literal> is specified and a requested operation conflicts with any

          <para>If <literal>replace</literal> (the default) is

          <para>If <literal>replace-irreversibly</literal> is specified,
          operate like <literal>replace</literal>, but also mark the new

          <para><literal>isolate</literal> is only valid for start

          <para>If <literal>ignore-dependencies</literal> is specified,

          the operation is executed immediately. If passed, no required
          units of the unit passed will be pulled in, and no ordering
          dependencies will be honored. This is mostly a debugging and
          rescue tool for the administrator and should not be used by

          <para><literal>ignore-requirements</literal> is similar to
          <literal>ignore-dependencies</literal>, but only causes the
          requirement dependencies to be ignored, the ordering
          dependencies will still be honored.</para>

          <para><literal>triggering</literal> may only be used with

          <option>all</option> to select whether to kill only the main process, the control process, all
          processes in the unit's control group or all processes of the unit. The main process of the unit is
          the one that defines the life-time of it. A control process of a unit is one that is invoked by the
          manager to induce state changes of it. For example, all processes started due to the
          <varname>ExecStartPre=</varname>, <varname>ExecStop=</varname> or <varname>ExecReload=</varname>
          settings of service units are control processes. Note that there is only one control process per
          unit at a time, as only one state change is executed at a time. For services of type
          <varname>Type=forking</varname>, the initial process started by the manager for
          <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is a control process, while the process ultimately forked off by that
          one is then considered the main process of the unit (if it can be determined). This is different
          for service units of other types, where the process forked off by the manager for
          <varname>ExecStart=</varname> is always the main process itself. A service unit consists of zero or
          one main process, zero or one control process plus any number of additional processes part of the
          unit's control group. Not all unit types manage processes of these types however. For example, for
          mount units, control processes are defined (which are the invocations of
          <filename>&MOUNT_PATH;</filename> and <filename>&UMOUNT_PATH;</filename>), but no main process is
          defined. If omitted, defaults to <option>all</option>, except if <option>--kill-subgroup=</option>
