===========================

NAME
----

cdist-type__systemd_unit - Install a systemd unit

DESCRIPTION
-----------

This type manages systemd units in ``/etc/systemd/system/``. It can install,
enable and start a systemd unit. This is particularly useful on systems which
take advantage of systemd heavily (e.g., CoreOS). For more information about
systemd units, see SYSTEMD.UNIT(5).

REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------

None.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------

enablement-state
    'enabled', 'disabled' or 'masked', where:

    enabled
        enables the unit
    disabled
        disables the unit
    masked
        masks the unit

source
    Path to the config file. If source is '-' (dash), take what was written to
    stdin as the config file content.

state
    'present' or 'absent', defaults to 'present' where:

    present
        the unit (or its mask) is installed
    absent
        The unit is stopped, disabled and uninstalled. If the unit was masked,
        the mask is removed.

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
------------------

restart
    Start the unit if it was inactive. Restart the unit if the unit file
    changed. Stop the unit if new ``enablement-state`` is ``masked``.

MESSAGES
--------

None.

EXAMPLES
--------

.. code-block:: sh

    # Installs, enables and starts foobar.service
    __systemd_unit foobar.service \
        --source "${__manifest}/files/foobar.service" \
        --enablement-state enabled \
        --restart

    # Disables the unit
    __systemd_unit foobar.service --enablement-state disabled

    # Stops, disables and uninstalls foobar.service
    __systemd_unit foobar.service --state absent
