options of all unit configuration files, and
L<systemd.service(5)>,
L<systemd.socket(5)>,
L<systemd.swap(5)>, and
L<systemd.mount(5)> for more
information on the specific unit configuration files. The execution specific configuration options are configured
in the [Service], [Socket], [Mount], or [Swap] sections, depending on the unit type.

In addition, options which control resources through Linux Control Groups (cgroups) are listed in
L<systemd.resource-control(5)>.
Those options complement options listed here.

The following service exit codes are defined by the L<LSB specification|https://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_5.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html>.



The LSB specification suggests that error codes 200 and above are reserved for implementations. Some of them are
used by the service manager to indicate problems during process invocation:


Finally, the BSD operating systems define a set of exit codes, typically defined on Linux systems too:

Note that this enforces only weak restrictions on the user/group name syntax, but will generate

L<nss-systemd(8)> glibc
NSS module provides integration of these dynamic users/groups into the system's user and group
databases. The user and group name to use may be configured via C<User> and
C<Group> (see above). If these options are not used and dynamic user/group
allocation is enabled for a unit, the name of the dynamic user/group is implicitly derived from the
unit name. If the unit name without the type suffix qualifies as valid user name it is used directly,
otherwise a name incorporating a hash of it is used. If a statically allocated user or group of the
configured name already exists, it is used and no dynamic user/group is allocated. Note that if
C<User> is specified and the static group with the name exists, then it is required
that the static user with the name already exists. Similarly, if C<Group> is
specified and the static user with the name exists, then it is required that the static group with
the name already exists. Dynamic users/groups are allocated from the UID/GID range 61184\x{2026}65519. It is
recommended to avoid this range for regular system or login users.  At any point in time each UID/GID
from this range is only assigned to zero or one dynamically allocated users/groups in use. However,
UID/GIDs are recycled after a unit is terminated. Care should be taken that any processes running as
part of a unit for which dynamic users/groups are enabled do not leave files or directories owned by
these users/groups around, as a different unit might get the same UID/GID assigned later on, and thus
gain access to these files or directories. If C<DynamicUser> is enabled,
C<RemoveIPC> and C<PrivateTmp> are implied (and cannot be turned
off). This ensures that the lifetime of IPC objects and temporary files created by the executed
processes is bound to the runtime of the service, and hence the lifetime of the dynamic
user/group. Since C</tmp/> and C</var/tmp/> are usually the only
world-writable directories on a system this ensures that a unit making use of dynamic user/group
allocation cannot leave files around after unit termination. Furthermore
C<NoNewPrivileges> and C<RestrictSUIDSGID> are implicitly enabled
(and cannot be disabled), to ensure that processes invoked cannot take benefit or create SUID/SGID
files or directories. Moreover C<ProtectSystem=strict> and
C<ProtectHome=read-only> are implied, thus prohibiting the service to write to
arbitrary file system locations. In order to allow the service to write to certain directories, they
have to be allow-listed using C<ReadWritePaths>, but care must be taken so that
UID/GID recycling doesn't create security issues involving files created by the service. Use
C<RuntimeDirectory> (see below) in order to assign a writable runtime directory to a
service, owned by the dynamic user/group and removed automatically when the unit is terminated. Use
C<StateDirectory>, C<CacheDirectory> and
C<LogsDirectory> in order to assign a set of writable directories for specific
purposes to the service in a way that they are protected from vulnerabilities due to UID reuse (see
below). If this option is enabled, care should be taken that the unit's processes do not get access
to directories outside of these explicitly configured and managed ones. Specifically, do not use
C<BindPaths> and be careful with C<AF_UNIX> file descriptor
passing for directory file descriptors, as this would permit processes to create files or directories
owned by the dynamic user/group that are not subject to the lifecycle and access guarantees of the

single value to set a specific soft and hard limit to the same value, or as colon-separated pair
C<soft:hard> to set both limits individually (e.g. C<LimitAS=4G:16G>).
Use the string C<infinity> to configure no limit on a specific resource. The
multiplicative suffixes K, M, G, T, P and E (to the base 1024) may be used for resource limits
measured in bytes (e.g. C<LimitAS=16G>). For the limits referring to time values, the
usual time units ms, s, min, h and so on may be used (see
L<systemd.time(7)> for
details). Note that if no time unit is specified for C<LimitCPU> the default unit of
seconds is implied, while for C<LimitRTTIME> the default unit of microseconds is
implied. Also, note that the effective granularity of the limits might influence their
enforcement. For example, time limits specified for C<LimitCPU> will be rounded up
implicitly to multiples of 1s. For C<LimitNICE> the value may be specified in two
syntaxes: if prefixed with C<+> or C<->, the value is understood as
regular Linux nice value in the range -20\x{2026}19. If not prefixed like this the value is understood as
raw resource limit parameter in the range 0\x{2026}40 (with 0 being equivalent to 1).

Note that most process resource limits configured with these options are per-process, and
processes may fork in order to acquire a new set of resources that are accounted independently of the
original process, and may thus escape limits set. Also note that C<LimitRSS> is not
implemented on Linux, and setting it has no effect. Often it is advisable to prefer the resource
controls listed in
L<systemd.resource-control(5)>
over these per-process limits, as they apply to services as a whole, may be altered dynamically at
runtime, and are generally more expressive. For example, C<MemoryMax> is a more
powerful (and working) replacement for C<LimitRSS>.

Note that C<LimitNPROC> will limit the number of processes from one (real) UID and
not the number of processes started (forked) by the service. Therefore the limit is cumulative for all
processes running under the same UID. Please also note that the C<LimitNPROC> will not be
enforced if the service is running as root (and not dropping privileges). Due to these limitations,
C<TasksMax> (see L<systemd.resource-control(5)>) is typically a better choice than C<LimitNPROC>.

Resource limits not configured explicitly for a unit default to the value configured in the various
C<DefaultLimitCPU>, C<DefaultLimitFSIZE>, \x{2026} options available in
L<systemd-system.conf(5)>, and \x{2013}
if not configured there \x{2013} the kernel or per-user defaults, as defined by the OS (the latter only for user
services, see below).

For system units these resource limits may be chosen freely. When these settings are configured
in a user service (i.e. a service run by the per-user instance of the service manager) they cannot be
used to raise the limits above those set for the user manager itself when it was first invoked, as
the user's service manager generally lacks the privileges to do so. In user context these
configuration options are hence only useful to lower the limits passed in or to raise the soft limit
to the maximum of the hard limit as configured for the user. To raise the user's limits further, the
available configuration mechanisms differ between operating systems, but typically require
privileges. In most cases it is possible to configure higher per-user resource limits via PAM or by
setting limits on the system service encapsulating the user's service manager, i.e. the user's

other resources owned by users/groups not equaling C<root> or the unit\'s own will stay visible

all unit processes are run without privileges in the host user namespace (regardless if the unit\'s own

This setting only controls the final propagation setting in effect on all mount
points of the file system namespace created for each process of this unit. Other file system namespacing unit
settings (see the discussion in C<PrivateMounts> above) will implicitly disable mount and
unmount propagation from the unit's processes towards the host by changing the propagation setting of all mount
points in the unit's file system namespace to C<slave> first. Setting this option to

temporary mounts (such as removable media) of the host will stay mounted and thus indefinitely busy in forked
off processes, as unmount propagation events won't be received by the file system namespace of the unit.

exit(), exit_group(), getrlimit(),
rt_sigreturn(), sigreturn() system calls and the system calls

explicitly. This option may be specified more than once, in which case the filter masks are
merged. If the empty string is assigned, the filter is reset, all prior assignments will have no
effect. This does not affect commands prefixed with C<+>.

Note that on systems supporting multiple ABIs (such as x86/x86-64) it is recommended to turn off
alternative ABIs for services, so that they cannot be used to circumvent the restrictions of this
option. Specifically, it is recommended to combine this option with
C<SystemCallArchitectures=native> or similar.

Note that strict system call filters may impact execution and error handling code paths of the service
invocation. Specifically, access to the execve() system call is required for the execution
of the service binary \x{2014} if it is blocked service invocation will necessarily fail. Also, if execution of the
service binary fails for some reason (for example: missing service executable), the error handling logic might
require access to an additional set of system calls in order to process and log this failure correctly. It
might be necessary to temporarily disable system call filters in order to simplify debugging of such
failures.

If you specify both types of this option (i.e.  allow-listing and deny-listing), the first
encountered will take precedence and will dictate the default action (termination or approval of a
system call). Then the next occurrences of this option will add or delete the listed system calls
from the set of the filtered system calls, depending of its type and the default action. (For
example, if you have started with an allow list rule for read() and
write(), and right after it add a deny list rule for write(),
then write() will be removed from the set.)

This is the recommended starting point for allow-listing system calls for system services, as it contains what is typically needed by system services, but excludes overly specific interfaces. For example, the following APIs are excluded: C<\@clock>, C<\@mount>, C<\@swap>, C<\@reboot>.\@timerSystem calls for scheduling operations by time (L<alarm(2)>, L<timer_create(2)>, \x{2026})\@knownAll system calls defined by the kernel. This list is defined statically in systemd based on a kernel version that was available when this systemd version was released. It will become progressively more out-of-date as the kernel is updated.
Note, that as new system calls are added to the kernel, additional system calls might be added to the groups
above. Contents of the sets may also change between systemd versions. In addition, the list of system calls
depends on the kernel version and architecture for which systemd was compiled. Use
systemd-analyze\x{a0}syscall-filter to list the actual list of system calls in each
filter.

Generally, allow-listing system calls (rather than deny-listing) is the safer mode of
operation. It is recommended to enforce system call allow lists for all long-running system
services. Specifically, the following lines are a relatively safe basic choice for the majority of
system services:

Note that various kernel system calls are defined redundantly: there are multiple system calls
for executing the same operation. For example, the pidfd_send_signal() system
call may be used to execute operations similar to what can be done with the older
kill() system call, hence blocking the latter without the former only provides
weak protection. Since new system calls are added regularly to the kernel as development progresses,
keeping system call deny lists comprehensive requires constant work. It is thus recommended to use
allow-listing instead, which offers the benefit that new system calls are by default implicitly
blocked until the allow list is updated.

Also note that a number of system calls are required to be accessible for the dynamic linker to
work. The dynamic linker is required for running most regular programs (specifically: all dynamic ELF
binaries, which is how most distributions build packaged programs). This means that blocking these
system calls (which include open(), openat() or
mmap()) will make most programs typically shipped with generic distributions
unusable.

It is recommended to combine the file system namespacing related options with
C<SystemCallFilter=~\@mount>, in order to prohibit the unit's processes to undo the
mappings. Specifically these are the options C<PrivateTmp>,

system calls of the specified architectures. For the purposes of this option, the x32 architecture is treated
as including x86-64 system calls. However, this setting still fulfills its purpose, as explained below, on
x32.

System call filtering is not equally effective on all architectures. For example, on x86
filtering of network socket-related calls is not possible, due to ABI limitations \x{2014} a limitation that x86-64
does not have, however. On systems supporting multiple ABIs at the same time \x{2014} such as x86/x86-64 \x{2014} it is hence
recommended to limit the set of permitted system call architectures so that secondary ABIs may not be used to
circumvent the restrictions applied to the native ABI of the system. In particular, setting
C<SystemCallArchitectures=native> is a good choice for disabling non-native ABIs.

i.e. all read attempts by the process will result in immediate EOF.

If C<tty> is selected, standard input is connected to a TTY (as configured by
C<TTYPath>, 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.

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

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

The C<data> option may be used to configure arbitrary textual or binary data to pass via
standard input to the executed process. The data to pass is configured via
C<StandardInputText>/C<StandardInputData> (see below). Note that the actual
file descriptor type passed (memory file, regular file, UNIX pipe, \x{2026}) might depend on the kernel and available
privileges. In any case, the file descriptor is read-only, and when read returns the specified data followed by
EOF.

The C<file:path> option may be used to connect a specific file
system object to standard input. An absolute path following the C<:> character is expected,
which may refer to a regular file, a FIFO or special file. If an C<AF_UNIX> socket in the
file system is specified, a stream socket is connected to it. The latter is useful for connecting standard
input of processes to arbitrary system services.

The C<socket> option is valid in socket-activated services only, and requires the relevant
socket unit file (see
L<systemd.socket(5)> for details)
to have C<Accept=yes> set, or to specify 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 L<inetd(8)> socket activation
daemon.

The C<fd:name> option connects standard input to a specific,
named file descriptor provided by a socket unit.  The name may be specified as part of this option, following a
C<:> character (e.g. C<fd:foobar>).  If no name is specified, the name
C<stdin> is implied (i.e. C<fd> is equivalent to C<fd:stdin>).
At least one socket unit defining the specified name must be provided via the C<Sockets>
option, and the file descriptor name may differ from the name of its containing socket unit.  If multiple
matches are found, the first one will be used.  See C<FileDescriptorName> in
L<systemd.socket(5)> for more

C<tty> connects standard output to a tty (as configured via C<TTYPath>,

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 C<journal>.

C<journal+console> and C<kmsg+console> work in a similar way as the
two options above but copy the output to the system console as well.

The C<file:path> option may be used to connect a specific file
system object to standard output. The semantics are similar to the same option of
C<StandardInput>, see above. If path refers to a regular file
on the filesystem, it is opened (created if it doesn't exist yet) for writing at the beginning of the file,
but without truncating it.
If standard input and output are directed to the same file path, it is opened only once \x{2014} for reading as well
as writing \x{2014} and duplicated. This is particularly useful when the specified path refers to an
C<AF_UNIX> socket in the file system, as in that case only a
single stream connection is created for both input and output.

C<append:path> is similar to
C<file:path> above, but it opens the file in append mode.

C<truncate:path> is similar to
C<file:path> above, but it truncates the file when opening
it. For units with multiple command lines, e.g. C<Type=oneshot> services with
multiple C<ExecStart>, or services with C<ExecCondition>,
C<ExecStartPre> or C<ExecStartPost>, the output file is reopened
and therefore re-truncated for each command line. If the output file is truncated while another
process still has the file open, e.g. by an C<ExecReload> running concurrently with
an C<ExecStart>, and the other process continues writing to the file without
adjusting its offset, then the space between the file pointers of the two processes may be filled
with C<NUL> bytes, producing a sparse file. Thus,
C<truncate:path> is typically only useful for units where
only one process runs at a time, such as services with a single C<ExecStart> and no
C<ExecStartPost>, C<ExecReload>, C<ExecStop> or
similar.

C<socket> connects standard output to a socket acquired via socket activation. The
semantics are similar to the same option of C<StandardInput>, see above.

The C<fd:name> option connects standard output to a
specific, named file descriptor provided by a socket unit.  A name may be specified as part of this
option, following a C<:> character
(e.g. C<fd:foobar>). If no name is specified, the name
C<stdout> is implied (i.e. C<fd> is equivalent to
C<fd:stdout>). At least one socket unit defining the specified name must be provided
via the C<Sockets> option, and the file descriptor name may differ from the name of
its containing socket unit. If multiple matches are found, the first one will be used. See
C<FileDescriptorName> in
L<systemd.socket(5)>
for more details about named descriptors and their ordering.

If the standard output (or error output, see below) of a unit is connected to the journal or
the kernel log buffer, the unit will implicitly gain a dependency of type C<After>
on C<systemd-journald.socket> (also see the \"Implicit Dependencies\" section
above). Also note that in this case stdout (or stderr, see below) will be an
C<AF_UNIX> stream socket, and not a pipe or FIFO that can be re-opened. This means
when executing shell scripts the construct echo \"hello\" > /dev/stderr for
writing text to stderr will not work. To mitigate this use the construct echo \"hello\"
>&2 instead, which is mostly equivalent and avoids this pitfall.

location that (if possible and permitted) is backed by non-swappable memory. The data is only
accessible to the user associated with the unit, via the
C<User>/C<DynamicUser> settings (as well as the superuser). When
available, the location of credentials is exported as the C<\$CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY>
environment variable to the unit's processes.

The C<LoadCredential> setting takes a textual ID to use as name for a
credential plus a file system path, separated by a colon. The ID must be a short ASCII string
suitable as filename in the filesystem, and may be chosen freely by the user. If the specified path
is absolute it is opened as regular file and the credential data is read from it. If the absolute
path refers to an C<AF_UNIX> stream socket in the file system a connection is made
to it (only once at unit start-up) and the credential data read from the connection, providing an
easy IPC integration point for dynamically transferring credentials from other services.

If the specified path is not absolute and itself qualifies as valid credential identifier it is
attempted to find a credential that the service manager itself received under the specified name \x{2014}
which may be used to propagate credentials from an invoking environment (e.g. a container manager
that invoked the service manager) into a service. If no matching system credential is found, the
directories C</etc/credstore/>, C</run/credstore/> and
C</usr/lib/credstore/> are searched for files under the credential's name \x{2014} which
hence are recommended locations for credential data on disk. If
C<LoadCredentialEncrypted> is used C</run/credstore.encrypted/>,
C</etc/credstore.encrypted/>, and
C</usr/lib/credstore.encrypted/> are searched as well.

If the file system path is omitted it is chosen identical to the credential name, i.e. this is
a terse way to declare credentials to inherit from the service manager into a service. This option
may be used multiple times, each time defining an additional credential to pass to the unit.

If an absolute path referring to a directory is specified, every file in that directory
(recursively) will be loaded as a separate credential. The ID for each credential will be the
provided ID suffixed with C<_\$FILENAME> (e.g., C<Key_file1>). When
loading from a directory, symlinks will be ignored.

The contents of the file/socket may be arbitrary binary or textual data, including newline
characters and C<NUL> bytes.

The C<LoadCredentialEncrypted> setting is identical to
C<LoadCredential>, except that the credential data is decrypted and authenticated
before being passed on to the executed processes. Specifically, the referenced path should refer to a
file or socket with an encrypted credential, as implemented by
L<systemd-creds(1)>. This
credential is loaded, decrypted, authenticated and then passed to the application in plaintext form,
in the same way a regular credential specified via C<LoadCredential> would be. A
credential configured this way may be symmetrically encrypted/authenticated with a secret key derived
from the system's TPM2 security chip, or with a secret key stored in
C</var/lib/systemd/credentials.secret>, or with both. Using encrypted and
authenticated credentials improves security as credentials are not stored in plaintext and only
authenticated and decrypted into plaintext the moment a service requiring them is started. Moreover,
credentials may be bound to the local hardware and installations, so that they cannot easily be
analyzed offline, or be generated externally.

The credential files/IPC sockets must be accessible to the service manager, but don't have to
be directly accessible to the unit's processes: the credential data is read and copied into separate,
read-only copies for the unit that are accessible to appropriately privileged processes. This is
particularly useful in combination with C<DynamicUser> as this way privileged data
can be made available to processes running under a dynamic UID (i.e. not a previously known one)
without having to open up access to all users.

In order to reference the path a credential may be read from within a
C<ExecStart> command line use C<\${CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY}/mycred>,
e.g. C<ExecStart=cat \${CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY}/mycred>. In order to reference the path
a credential may be read from within a C<Environment> line use
C<%d/mycred>, e.g. C<Environment=MYCREDPATH=%d/mycred>.

Currently, an accumulated credential size limit of 1 MB per unit is enforced.

The service manager itself may receive system credentials that can be propagated to services
from a hosting container manager or VM hypervisor. See the L<Container Interface|https://systemd.io/CONTAINER_INTERFACE> documentation for details
about the former. For the latter, use the qemu C<fw_cfg> node
C<opt/io.systemd.credentials/>. Example qemu switch: C<-fw_cfg
name=opt/io.systemd.credentials/mycred,string=supersecret>. They may also be specified on
the kernel command line using the C<systemd.set_credential=> switch (see
L<systemd(1)>)
and from the UEFI firmware environment via
L<systemd-stub(7)>.

If referencing an C<AF_UNIX> stream socket to connect to, the connection will
originate from an abstract namespace socket, that includes information about the unit and the
credential ID in its socket name. Use L<getpeername(2)>
to query this information. The returned socket name is formatted as C<NUL>RANDOM C</unit/> UNITC</> ID, i.e. a C<NUL> byte (as required
for abstract namespace socket names), followed by a random string (consisting of alphadecimal
characters), followed by the literal string C</unit/>, followed by the requesting
unit name, followed by the literal character C</>, followed by the textual credential
ID requested. Example: C<\\0adf9d86b6eda275e/unit/foobar.service/credx> in case the
credential C<credx> is requested for a unit C<foobar.service>. This
functionality is useful for using a single listening socket to serve credentials to multiple
consumers.

C</var/lib/systemd/credentials.secret>, or with both. Using encrypted and
authenticated credentials improves security as credentials are not stored in plaintext and only
authenticated and decrypted into plaintext the moment a service requiring them is started. Moreover,
credentials may be bound to the local hardware and installations, so that they cannot easily be
analyzed offline, or be generated externally.

The credential files/IPC sockets must be accessible to the service manager, but don't have to
be directly accessible to the unit's processes: the credential data is read and copied into separate,
read-only copies for the unit that are accessible to appropriately privileged processes. This is
particularly useful in combination with C<DynamicUser> as this way privileged data
can be made available to processes running under a dynamic UID (i.e. not a previously known one)
without having to open up access to all users.

In order to reference the path a credential may be read from within a
C<ExecStart> command line use C<\${CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY}/mycred>,
e.g. C<ExecStart=cat \${CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY}/mycred>. In order to reference the path
a credential may be read from within a C<Environment> line use
C<%d/mycred>, e.g. C<Environment=MYCREDPATH=%d/mycred>.

Currently, an accumulated credential size limit of 1 MB per unit is enforced.

The service manager itself may receive system credentials that can be propagated to services
from a hosting container manager or VM hypervisor. See the L<Container Interface|https://systemd.io/CONTAINER_INTERFACE> documentation for details
about the former. For the latter, use the qemu C<fw_cfg> node
C<opt/io.systemd.credentials/>. Example qemu switch: C<-fw_cfg
name=opt/io.systemd.credentials/mycred,string=supersecret>. They may also be specified on
the kernel command line using the C<systemd.set_credential=> switch (see
L<systemd(1)>)
and from the UEFI firmware environment via
L<systemd-stub(7)>.

If referencing an C<AF_UNIX> stream socket to connect to, the connection will
originate from an abstract namespace socket, that includes information about the unit and the
credential ID in its socket name. Use L<getpeername(2)>
to query this information. The returned socket name is formatted as C<NUL>RANDOM C</unit/> UNITC</> ID, i.e. a C<NUL> byte (as required
for abstract namespace socket names), followed by a random string (consisting of alphadecimal
characters), followed by the literal string C</unit/>, followed by the requesting
unit name, followed by the literal character C</>, followed by the textual credential
ID requested. Example: C<\\0adf9d86b6eda275e/unit/foobar.service/credx> in case the
credential C<credx> is requested for a unit C<foobar.service>. This
functionality is useful for using a single listening socket to serve credentials to multiple
consumers.
