NAME

6       systemd.target - Target unit configuration
7

SYNOPSIS

9       target.target
10

DESCRIPTION

12       A unit configuration file whose name ends in ".target" encodes
13       information about a target unit of systemd, which is used for grouping
14       units and as well-known synchronization points during start-up.
15
16       This unit type has no specific options. See systemd.unit(5) for the
17       common options of all unit configuration files. The common
18       configuration items are configured in the generic [Unit] and [Install]
19       sections. A separate [Target] section does not exist, since no
20       target-specific options may be configured.
21
22       Target units do not offer any additional functionality on top of the
23       generic functionality provided by units. They exist merely to group
24       units via dependencies (useful as boot targets), and to establish
25       standardized names for synchronization points used in dependencies
26       between units. Among other things, target units are a more flexible
27       replacement for SysV runlevels in the classic SysV init system. (And
28       for compatibility reasons special target units such as runlevel3.target
29       exist which are used by the SysV runlevel compatibility code in
30       systemd. See systemd.special(7) for details).
31
32       Unless DefaultDependencies= is set to false, target units will
33       implicitly complement all configured dependencies of type Wants=,
34       Requires=, RequiresOverridable= with dependencies of type After= if the
35       units in question also have DefaultDependencies=true.
