<para>Note that while systemd offers a flexible dependency system

sparingly and instead rely on techniques such as bus-based or
socket-based activation which make dependencies implicit,
resulting in a both simpler and more flexible system.</para>
<para>A number of unit dependencies are implicitly established,
depending on unit type and unit configuration. These implicit
dependencies can make unit configuration file cleaner. For the
implicit dependencies in each unit type, please refer to
section "Implicit Dependencies" in respective man pages.</para>
<para>A number of unit dependencies are automatically established,
depending on unit configuration. On top of that, for units with
<varname>DefaultDependencies=yes</varname> (the default) a couple
of additional dependencies are added. The precise effect of
<varname>DefaultDependencies=yes</varname> depends on the unit
type (see below).</para>
<para>If <varname>DefaultDependencies=yes</varname> is set, units
that are referenced by other units of type
<filename>.target</filename> via a <varname>Wants=</varname> or
<varname>Requires=</varname> dependency might automatically gain
an <varname>Before=</varname> dependency too. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.target</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
<para>For example, service units with <varname>Type=dbus</varname>
automatically acquire dependencies of type <varname>Requires=</varname>
and <varname>After=</varname> on <filename>dbus.socket</filename>. See

<title>Default Dependencies</title>
<para>Default dependencies are similar to implicit dependencies,
but can be turned on and off by setting
<varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> to <varname>yes</varname>
(the default) and <varname>no</varname>, while implicit dependencies
are always in effect. See section "Default Dependencies" in respective
man pages for the effect of enabling
<varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname> in each unit types.</para>
<para>For example, target units will complement all configured
dependencies of type type <varname>Wants=</varname> or
<varname>Requires=</varname> with dependencies of type
<varname>After=</varname>. See
