Lennart Poettering 5556b5fe41 core: clean up some confusing regarding SI decimal and IEC binary suffixes for sizes
According to Wikipedia it is customary to specify hardware metrics and
transfer speeds to the basis 1000 (SI decimal), while software metrics
and physical volatile memory (RAM) sizes to the basis 1024 (IEC binary).
So far we specified everything in IEC, let's fix that and be more
true to what's otherwise customary. Since we don't want to parse "Mi"
instead of "M" we document each time what the context used is.

<title>Description</title>
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
<literal>.socket</literal> encodes information about
an IPC or network socket or a file system FIFO
controlled and supervised by systemd, for socket-based
activation.</para>
<para>This man page lists the configuration options
specific to this unit type. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for the common options of all unit configuration
files. The common configuration items are configured
in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
socket specific configuration options are configured
in the [Socket] section.</para>
<para>Additional options are listed in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
which define the execution environment the
<option>ExecStartPre=</option>,
<option>ExecStartPost=</option>,
<option>ExecStopPre=</option> and
<option>ExecStopPost=</option> commands are executed
in, and in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
which define the way the processes are terminated, and
in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
which configure resource control settings for the
processes of the socket.</para>
<para>For each socket file, a matching service file
must exist, describing the service to start on
incoming traffic on the socket (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information about .service files). The name
of the .service unit is by default the same as the
name of the .socket unit, but can be altered with the
<option>Service=</option> option described below.
Depending on the setting of the <option>Accept=</option>
option described below, this .service unit must either
be named like the .socket unit, but with the suffix
replaced, unless overridden with
<option>Service=</option>; or it must be a template
unit named the same way. Example: a socket file
<filename>foo.socket</filename> needs a matching
service <filename>foo.service</filename> if
<option>Accept=false</option> is set. If
<option>Accept=true</option> is set, a service
template file <filename>foo@.service</filename> must
exist from which services are instantiated for each
incoming connection.</para>
<para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname>
is set to <option>false</option>, socket units will
implicitly have dependencies of type
<varname>Requires=</varname> and
<varname>After=</varname> on
<filename>sysinit.target</filename> as well as
dependencies of type <varname>Conflicts=</varname> and
<varname>Before=</varname> on
<filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure
that socket units pull in basic system
initialization, and are terminated cleanly prior to
system shutdown. Only sockets involved with early
boot or late system shutdown should disable this
option.</para>
<para>Socket units will have a
<varname>Before=</varname> dependency on the service
which they trigger added implicitly. No implicit
<varname>WantedBy=</varname> or
<varname>RequiredBy=</varname> dependency from the
socket to the service is added. This means that the
service may be started without the socket, in which
case it must be able to open sockets by itself. To
prevent this, an explicit <varname>Requires=</varname>
dependency may be added.</para>
<para>Socket units may be used to implement on-demand
starting of services, as well as parallelized starting
of services. See the blog stories linked at the end
for an introduction.</para>
<para>Note that the daemon software configured for
socket activation with socket units needs to be able
to accept sockets from systemd, either via systemd's
native socket passing interface (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_listen_fds</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details) or via the traditional
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>inetd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>-style
socket passing (i.e. sockets passed in via standard input and
output, using <varname>StandardInput=socket</varname>
in the service file).</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Options</title>
<para>Socket files must include a [Socket] section,
which carries information about the socket or FIFO it
supervises. A number of options that may be used in
this section are shared with other unit types. These
options are documented in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
options specific to the [Socket] section of socket
units are the following:</para>
<variablelist class='unit-directives'>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ListenStream=</varname></term>
<term><varname>ListenDatagram=</varname></term>
<term><varname>ListenSequentialPacket=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies an address
to listen on for a stream
(<constant>SOCK_STREAM</constant>), datagram (<constant>SOCK_DGRAM</constant>),
or sequential packet
(<constant>SOCK_SEQPACKET</constant>) socket, respectively. The address
can be written in various formats:</para>
<para>If the address starts with a
slash (<literal>/</literal>), it is read as file system
socket in the <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> socket
family.</para>
<para>If the address starts with an at
symbol (<literal>@</literal>), it is read as abstract
namespace socket in the
<constant>AF_UNIX</constant>
family. The <literal>@</literal> is
replaced with a
<constant>NUL</constant> character
before binding. For details, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>unix</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>If the address string is a
single number, it is read as port
number to listen on via
IPv6. Depending on the value of
<varname>BindIPv6Only=</varname> (see below) this
might result in the service being
available via both IPv6 and IPv4 (default) or
just via IPv6.
</para>
<para>If the address string is a
string in the format v.w.x.y:z, it is
read as IPv4 specifier for listening
on an address v.w.x.y on a port
z.</para>
<para>If the address string is a
string in the format [x]:y, it is read
as IPv6 address x on a port y. Note
that this might make the service
available via IPv4, too, depending on
the <varname>BindIPv6Only=</varname>
setting (see below).
</para>
<para>Note that <constant>SOCK_SEQPACKET</constant>
(i.e. <varname>ListenSequentialPacket=</varname>)
is only available for <constant>AF_UNIX</constant>
sockets. <constant>SOCK_STREAM</constant>
(i.e. <varname>ListenStream=</varname>)
when used for IP sockets refers to TCP
sockets, <constant>SOCK_DGRAM</constant>
(i.e. <varname>ListenDatagram=</varname>)
to UDP.</para>
<para>These options may be specified
more than once in which case incoming
traffic on any of the sockets will
trigger service activation, and all
listed sockets will be passed to the
service, regardless of whether there is
incoming traffic on them or not. If
the empty string is assigned to any of
these options, the list of addresses
to listen on is reset, all prior uses
of any of these options will have no
effect.</para>
<para>It is also possible to have more
than one socket unit for the same
service when using
<varname>Service=</varname>, and the
service will receive all the sockets
configured in all the socket units.
Sockets configured in one unit are
passed in the order of configuration,
but no ordering between socket units
is specified.</para>
<para>If an IP address is used here,
it is often desirable to listen on it
before the interface it is configured
on is up and running, and even
regardless of whether it will be up and
running at any point. To deal with this,
it is recommended to set the
<varname>FreeBind=</varname> option
described below.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ListenFIFO=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies a file
system FIFO to listen on. This expects
an absolute file system path as
argument. Behavior otherwise is very
similar to the
<varname>ListenDatagram=</varname>
directive above.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ListenSpecial=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies a special

special files in
<filename>/proc</filename> and
<filename>/sys</filename>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ListenNetlink=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies a Netlink
family to create a socket for to
listen on. This expects a short string
referring to the <constant>AF_NETLINK</constant> family
name (such as <varname>audit</varname>
or <varname>kobject-uevent</varname>)
as argument, optionally suffixed by a
whitespace followed by a multicast
group integer. Behavior otherwise is
very similar to the
<varname>ListenDatagram=</varname>
directive above.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ListenMessageQueue=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies a POSIX
message queue name to listen on. This
expects a valid message queue name
(i.e. beginning with /). Behavior
otherwise is very similar to the
<varname>ListenFIFO=</varname>
directive above. On Linux message
queue descriptors are actually file
descriptors and can be inherited
between processes.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>BindIPv6Only=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a one of
<option>default</option>,
<option>both</option> or
<option>ipv6-only</option>. Controls
the IPV6_V6ONLY socket option (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>ipv6</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details). If
<option>both</option>, IPv6 sockets
bound will be accessible via both IPv4
and IPv6. If
<option>ipv6-only</option>, they will
be accessible via IPv6 only. If
<option>default</option> (which is the
default, surprise!), the system wide
default setting is used, as controlled
by
<filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv6/bindv6only</filename>,
which in turn defaults to the
equivalent of
<option>both</option>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Backlog=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an unsigned
integer argument. Specifies the number
of connections to queue that have not
been accepted yet. This setting
matters only for stream and sequential
packet sockets. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>listen</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details. Defaults to SOMAXCONN
(128).</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>BindToDevice=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies a network
interface name to bind this socket
to. If set, traffic will only be
accepted from the specified network
interfaces. This controls the
SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>socket</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details). If this option is used,
an automatic dependency from this
socket unit on the network interface
device unit
(<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.device</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
is created.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>DirectoryMode=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>If listening on a file
system socket or FIFO, the parent
directories are automatically created
if needed. This option specifies the
file system access mode used when
creating these directories. Takes an
access mode in octal
notation. Defaults to
0755.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>SocketMode=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>If listening on a file
system socket or FIFO, this option
specifies the file system access mode
used when creating the file
node. Takes an access mode in octal
notation. Defaults to
0666.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Accept=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean
argument. If true, a service instance
is spawned for each incoming
connection and only the connection
socket is passed to it. If false, all
listening sockets themselves are
passed to the started service unit,
and only one service unit is spawned
for all connections (also see
above). This value is ignored for
datagram sockets and FIFOs where a
single service unit unconditionally
handles all incoming traffic. Defaults
to <option>false</option>. For
performance reasons, it is recommended
to write new daemons only in a way
that is suitable for
<option>Accept=false</option>. A
daemon listening on an <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> socket
may, but does not need to, call
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>close</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
on the received socket before
exiting. However, it must not unlink
the socket from a file system. It
should not invoke
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>shutdown</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
on sockets it got with
<varname>Accept=false</varname>, but
it may do so for sockets it got with
<varname>Accept=true</varname> set.
Setting <varname>Accept=true</varname>
is mostly useful to allow daemons
designed for usage with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>inetd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
to work unmodified with systemd socket
activation.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>MaxConnections=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>The maximum number of
connections to simultaneously run
services instances for, when
<option>Accept=true</option> is
set. If more concurrent connections
are coming in, they will be refused
until at least one existing connection
is terminated. This setting has no
effect on sockets configured with
<option>Accept=false</option> or datagram
sockets. Defaults to
64.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>KeepAlive=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean

will send a keep alive message after
2h (depending on the configuration of
