variables are set by default. In order to add
additional variables, see the

<varname>EnvironmentFile=</varname> options below. To
specify variables globally, see

started by the user systemd instances inherit all
environment variables from the user systemd instance,
and have <varname>$HOME</varname>,
<varname>$USER</varname>,
<varname>$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR</varname> defined, among
others. In addition, <varname>$MANAGERPID</varname>
contains the PID of the user systemd instance.</para>
