Let's make it optional whether auditing is enabled at journald start-up
or not.
Note that this only controls whether audit is enabled/disabled in the
kernel. Either way we'll still collect the audit data if it is
generated, i.e. if some other tool enables it, we'll collect it.
Fixes: #959
This clarifies some more aspects of `${FOO}` expansions in service
units, mostly trying to answer my own doubts about what happens when
the matching variable is not defined.
This replaces the api export tables with updated versions, and inserts
comments for all "undocumented" items. The slow work of documented them
is left for later ;)
lxml does some formatting changes that are not significant for lxml processing,
but generate spurious difference in the diff (namely: ulinks become one-line,
and double quotes are used instead of single quotes for element attribute
values). This should be a one-time thing: subsequent renegeration should be
idempotent with regards to this.
So far the units there were being documented had only one custom interface.
But for the pid1 case, something more flexibile is needed. So let's add
an annotation in the page what we want to print, and filter in the generator.
As usual, the formatting was fixed and various obvious updates
were done, but nothing major.
I removed documentation of snapshots and related methods though.
The text in the man page provides the justification why I think this is
generally the right thing. An additional reason is that with the previous
commit (to move resolved earlier), since resolved internally implements the
same rules that nss-myhostname does, we'd have this strange inversion where
the priority of external configuration would be different in the "resolve"
path and in the fallback path.
proot provides userspace-powered emulation of chroot and mount --bind,
lending it to be used on environments without unprivileged user
namespaces, or in otherwise restricted environments like Android.
In order to achieve this, proot makes use of the kernel's ptrace()
facility, which we can use in order to detect its presence. Since it
doesn't use any kind of namespacing, including PID namespacing, we don't
need to do any tricks when trying to get the tracer's metadata.
For our purposes, proot is listed as a "container", since we mostly use
this also as the bucket for non-container-but-container-like
technologies like WSL. As such, it seems like a good fit for this
section as well.
Given that ANSI_COLOR= is mostly about branding it probably makes sense
to use RGB rather than paletted colors for them, so that the colors
match the project design as close as possible. Hence, provide a 25bit
RGB example for ANSI_COLOR, and update the overall example to something
newer.

The wiki was primarily describing the D-Bus API, but it also had a large
introduction to the daemon functionality. I moved that latter part into
the page that describes the daemon, and the API description into the new
page.
This is mostly a straighforward import. Apart from some required formatting
changes, I removed obvious repetitions, and made tiny grammar and typo fixes
where I noticed them. The goal is not to have a perfect text immediately.
<interfacename>org.foo.bar</interface> is used for interface names,
<function>function()</function> for methods, and <function>signal</function>
(no parentheses) for signal names. In D-Bus, signals are similar to methods,
and docbook doesn't have a nice tag for them.
First After=local-fs-pre.target wasn't described in the man page although it's
part of the default dependencies automatically set by pid1.
Secondly, Before=local-fs.target was only set if the automount unit was
generated from the fstab-generator because the dep was explicitly
generated. It was also not documented as a default dependency.
Fix it by managing the dep from pid1 instead.
This patch changes the way user managers set the default umask for the units it
manages.
Indeed one can expect that if user manager's umask is redefined through PAM
(via /etc/login.defs or pam_umask), all its children including the units it
spawns have their umask set to the new value.
Hence make user units inherit their umask value from their parent instead of
the hard coded value 0022 but allow them to override this value via their unit
file.
Note that reexecuting managers with 'systemctl daemon-reexec' after changing
UMask= has no effect. To take effect managers need to be restarted with
'systemct restart' instead. This behavior was already present before this
patch.
Fixes#6077.
A warning is emitted from sd_bus_message_{get,set}_priority. Those functions
are exposed by pystemd, so we have no easy way of checking if anything is
calling them.
Just making the functions always return without doing anything would be an
option, but then we could leave the caller with an undefined variable. So I
think it's better to make the functions emit a warnings and return priority=0
in the get operation.
For whatever reason, this does not get rendered propely in the man
page and results in an invalid code:
W: manual-page-warning /usr/share/man/man7/systemd.special.7.gz 103: warning: macro `AQ' not defined
We say 'user manager' and 'system manager' in most other places, so let's just
use this form here too.
Merging by hand because github refuses merging because "Rebasing the commits of
this branch on top of the base branch cannot be performed automatically as this
would create a different result than a regular merge.".
Consumers of the sd-bus convenience API can't make convenience
helpers of their own without va_list variants.
This commit is a mechanical change splitting out the existing function
bodies into bare va_list variants having a 'v' suffixed to the names.
The original functions now simply create the va_list before forwarding
the call on to the va_list variant, and the va_list variants dispense
with those steps.
For now, this function is nearly equivalent to the si_uint64 parser, except for
an additional range check as Linux only takes 32-bit values as bitrates. In
future, this may also be used to introduce fancier bitrate config formats.
So far we had various ad hoc APIs to query search paths:
systemd-analyze unit-paths, lookup_paths_log(), the pkgconfig file,
debug logs emitted by systemd-analyze cat-config.
But answering a simple question "what is the search path for tmpfiles,
sysusers, .network files, ..." is surprisingly hard.
I think we should have an api that makes it easy to query this. Pkgconfig is
not bad, but it is primarily a development tool, so it's not available in many
context. Also it can't provide support for paths which are influenced by
environment variables, and I'd like to be able to answer the question "what is
the search path for ..., assuming that VAR_FOO=... is set?".
Extending sd-path to support more of our internal paths seems to be most
flexible solution. We already have systemd-path which provides a nice
way to query, and we can add stuff like optional descriptions later on.
We we essentially get a nice programmatic and commmandline apis for the price
of one.
When a new page is added using man/update-man-rules, ninja doesn't know
about the new target until a build is initiated, so build/man/man and
build/man/html would fail. Force a trivial build to regenerate the rules
before calling 'ninja -t'.
When specifying `DHCPv4.SendOption=`, it is used by systemd-networkd to
set the value of that option within the DHCP request that is sent out.
This differs to setting `DHCPServer.SendOption=`, which will place all
the options together as suboptions into the vendor-specific information
(code 43) option.
This commit adds two new config options, `DHCPv4.SendVendorOption=` and
`DHCPServer.SendVendorOption=`. These both have the behaviour of the old
`DHCPServer.SendOption=` flag, and set the value of the suboption in the
vendor-specific information option.
The behaviour of `DHCPServer.SendOption=` is then changed to reflect
that of `DHCPv4.SendOption=`. It will set the value of the corresponding
option in the DHCP request.
Proportional Integral controller-Enhanced (PIE) is a control
theoretic active queue management scheme. It is based on the
proportional integral controller but aims to control delay.

Widely accepted certificates for IP addresses are expensive and only
affordable for larger organizations. Therefore if the user provides
the hostname in the DNS= option, we should use it instead of the IP
address.
This adds documentation for the SYSTEMD_GENERATOR_PATH and
SYSTEMD_ENVIRONMENT_GENERATOR_PATH variables to the systemd man page
grouped with the existing SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH.
Also added is a description about how these variables work, i.e. that a
trailing : can be used to prepend paths to the usual set.
systemd.show-status=error is useful for the case where people care about errors
only.
If people want to have a quiet boot, they most likely don't want to see all
status output even if there is a delay in boot, so make "quiet" imply
systemd.show-status=error instead of systemd.show-status=auto.
Fixes#14976.
We would flip to status=temporary mode on the first error, and then switch back
to status=auto after the initial transaction was done. This isn't very useful,
because usually all the messages about successfully started units and not
related to the original failure. In fact, all those messages most likely cause
the information about the prime error to scroll off screen. And if the user
requested quiet boot, there's no reason to think that they care about those
success messages.
Also, when logging about dependency cycles, treat this similarly to a unit
error and show the message even if the status is "soft disabled" (before we
wouldn't show it in that case).
If portablectl detach --now is used, there's a possible race condition
where the unit is not stopped in time before the detach is attempted,
which causes it to fail.
Add a DBUS call to block after starting/stopping if --now is passed,
and add a --no-block parameter to skip it optionally when starting,
since it is not necessary in that case for correct functioning.
These params are optional arg, so remove the '=' from their doc.
Also include systemd.log_location in the statement explaining they are
set to true if no argument is provided to the parameter.
This patch provides new documentation for IPv6Token,
reflecting the new modes (and the existing mode), and documents
various caveats users should be aware of when using these
modes.
Add shortcuts to enable and start, or disable and stop, portable
services with a single portablectl command.
Allow to pass a filter on detach, as it's necessary to call
GetImageMetadata to get the unit names associated with an image.
Fixes#10232
