62                 <title>Description</title>
63
64                 <para><filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> is
65                 a system service that is pulled in by
66                 <filename>suspend.target</filename> and is responsible
67                 for the actual system suspend. Similarly,
68                 <filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename> is
69                 pulled in by <filename>hibernate.target</filename> to
70                 execute the actual hibernation. Finally,
71                 <filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename> is
72                 pulled in by <filename>hybrid-sleep.target</filename>
73                 to execute hybrid hibernation with system
74                 suspend.</para>
75
76                 <para>Immediately before entering system suspend
77                 and/or hibernation
78                 <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> (and the
79                 other mentioned units, respectively) will run all
80                 executables in
81                 <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename>
82                 and pass two arguments to them. The first argument
83                 will be <literal>pre</literal>, the second either
84                 <literal>suspend</literal>,
85                 <literal>hibernate</literal>, or
86                 <literal>hybrid-sleep</literal> depending on the
87                 chosen action. Immediately after leaving system
88                 suspend and/or hibernation the same executables are run,
89                 but the first argument is now
90                 <literal>post</literal>. All executables in this
91                 directory are executed in parallel, and execution of
92                 the action is not continued until all executables
93                 have finished.</para>
94
95                 <para>Note that scripts or binaries dropped in
96                 <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename>
97                 are intended for local use only and should be
98                 considered hacks. If applications want to be notified
99                 of system suspend/hibernation and resume there are
100                 much nicer interfaces available.</para>
101
102                 <para>Note that
103                 <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename>,
104                 <filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename>, and
105                 <filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename>
106                 should never be executed directly. Instead, trigger
107                 system sleep states with a command such as
108                 <literal>systemctl suspend</literal> or
109                 similar.</para>
110
111                 <para>Internally, this service will echo a string like
112                 <literal>mem</literal> into
113                 <filename>/sys/power/state</filename>, to trigger the
114                 actual system suspend. What exactly is written
115                 where can be configured in the <literal>[Sleep]</literal>
116                 section of <filename>/etc/systemd/sleep.conf</filename>.
