- <listitem><para>Additional names for
- this unit. The names listed here must
- have the same suffix (i.e. type) as
- the unit file name. This option may be
- specified more than once, in which
- case all listed names are used. Note
- that this option is different from the
- <varname>Alias=</varname> option from
- the [Install] section mentioned
- below. See below for details. Note
- that in almost all cases this option
- is not what you want. A symlink alias
- in the file system is generally
- preferable since it can be used as
- lookup key. If a unit with a symlinked
- alias name is not loaded and needs to
- be it is easily found via the
- symlink. However, if a unit with an
- alias name configured with this
- setting is not loaded it will not be
- discovered. This settings' only use is
- in conjunction with service
- instances.</para>
