<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-socket-activate</command> may be used to launch a socket-activated service binary from the command
line for testing purposes. It may also be used to launch individual instances of the service binary per connection.
</para>
<para>The daemon to launch and its options should be specified
after options intended for <command>systemd-socket-activate</command>.
</para>
<para>If the <option>--inetd</option> option is given, the socket file descriptor will be used as the standard
input and output of the launched process. Otherwise, standard input and output will be inherited, and sockets will
be passed through file descriptors 3 and higher. Sockets passed through <varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname> to
<command>systemd-socket-activate</command> will be passed through to the daemon, in the original positions. Other sockets
specified with <option>--listen=</option> will use consecutive descriptors. By default,
<command>systemd-socket-activate</command> listens on a stream socket, use <option>--datagram</option> and
<option>--seqpacket</option> to listen on datagram or sequential packet sockets instead (see below).

<listitem><para>Add this variable to the environment of the
launched process. If <replaceable>VAR</replaceable> is
followed by <literal>=</literal>, assume that it is a
variable–value pair. Otherwise, obtain the value from the
environment of <command>systemd-socket-activate</command> itself.

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--fdname=</option><replaceable>NAME</replaceable><optional>:<replaceable>NAME</replaceable>...</optional></term>
<listitem><para>Specify names for the file descriptors passed. This is equivalent to setting

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_listen_fds_with_names</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Multiple entries may be specifies using separate options or by separating names with colons
(<literal>:</literal>) in one option. In case more names are given than descriptors, superfluous ones will be
ignored. In case less names are given than descriptors, the remaining file descriptors will be unnamed.
