61                 activation.</para>
62
63                 <para>This man page lists the configuration options
64                 specific to this unit type. See
65                 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
66                 for the common options of all unit configuration

68                 in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
69                 socket specific configuration options are configured
70                 in the [Socket] section.</para>

87                 for details) must exist, describing the service to

89                 the setting of <option>Accept=</option> (see below),
90                 this must either be named like the socket unit, but
91                 with the suffix replaced; or it must be a template
92                 file named the same way. Example: a socket file

94                 service <filename>foo.service</filename> if
95                 <option>Accept=false</option> is set. If
96                 <option>Accept=true</option> is set a service template

101                 <para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname>

108                 <varname>Before=</varname> on

110                 that socket units pull in basic system
111                 initialization, and are terminated cleanly prior to
112                 system shutdown. Only sockets involved with early
