strings <option>1</option>, <option>yes</option>,
<option>true</option> and <option>on</option> are
equivalent. For negative settings the strings
<para>Time span values encoded in unit files can be
written in various formats. A stand-alone number
specifies a time in seconds. If suffixed with a time
- unit, the unit is honored. A concatentation of
+ unit, the unit is honored. A concatenation of
multiple value with units is supported, in which case
the values are added up. Example: "50" refers to 50
seconds; "2min 200ms" refers to 2 minutes plus 200
with the device node <filename>/dev/sda</filename> in
the file system namespace. If this applies a special
way to escape the path name is used, so that it is
- usable as part of a file name. Basically, given a path,
- "/" is replaced by "-", and all unprintable characters
- and the "-" are replaced by C-style "\x20"
- escapes. This escaping is reversible.</para>
