+ Unless DefaultDependencies=

+ implicitly have dependencies of type
+ Requires= and
+ After= on
+ sysinit.target as well as
+ dependencies of type Conflicts= and
+ Before= on
+ shutdown.target. These ensure

+ initialization, and are terminated cleanly prior to
+ system shutdown. Only sockets involved with early
+ boot or late system shutdown should disable this
+ option.

Socket units may be used to implement on-demand
starting of services, as well as parallelized starting
of services.
+
+ 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
+ sd_listen_fds3
+ for details) or via the traditional
+ inetd8-style
+ socket passing (i.e. sockets passed in via STDIN and
+ STDOUT, using StandardInput=socket
