<listitem><para>Instanced service units (i.e. service units with an <literal>@</literal> in their name) are assigned by
default a per-template slice unit (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.slice</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>), named after the
template unit, containing all instances of the specific template. This slice is normally stopped at shutdown,
together with all template instances. If that is not desired, set <varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname> in the
template unit, and either define your own per-template slice unit file that also sets
<varname>DefaultDependencies=no</varname>, or set <varname>Slice=system.slice</varname> (or another suitable slice)

<para>Each file is a plain text file divided into sections, with configuration entries in the
style <replaceable>key</replaceable>=<replaceable>value</replaceable>.
Empty lines and lines starting with <literal>#</literal> or <literal>;</literal> are
ignored, which may be used for commenting.</para>
<para>Lines ending in a backslash are concatenated with the following line while reading and the
backslash is replaced by a space character. This may be used to wrap long lines. The limit on
line length is very large (currently 1 MB), but it is recommended to avoid such long lines and
use multiple directives, variable substitution, or other mechanism as appropriate for the given
file type.</para>
<example><programlisting>[Section A]
KeyOne=value 1
KeyTwo=value 2
# a comment
[Section B]
Setting="something" "some thing" "…"
KeyTwo=value 2 \
value 2 continued
</programlisting></example>
<para>Various settings are allowed to be specified more than once, in which case the
interpretation depends on the setting. Often, multiple settings form a list, and setting to an
empty value "resets", which means that previous assignments are ignored. When this is allowed,
it is mentioned in the description of the setting. Note that using multiple assignments to the
same value makes the file incompatible with parsers for the XDG <filename>.desktop</filename>
file format.</para>

<para>Unit files can be parameterized by a single argument called the "instance name". The unit

services or other units. A template unit must have a single <literal>@</literal> at the end of
the name (right before the type suffix). The name of the full unit is formed by inserting the
instance name between <literal>@</literal> and the unit type suffix. In the unit file itself,
the instance parameter may be referred to using <literal>%i</literal> and other specifiers, see
below.</para>

<para>Optionally, units may be instantiated from a
template file at runtime. This allows creation of
multiple units from a single configuration file. If
systemd looks for a unit configuration file, it will
first search for the literal unit name in the

name contains an <literal>@</literal> character, systemd will look for a
unit template that shares the same name but with the

which property on "source" unit corresponds to which property on the "target" unit.
