46 | ||
47 | <para>"Runlevels" are an obsolete way to start and stop groups of | |
48 | services used in SysV init. systemd provides a compatibility layer | |
49 | that maps runlevels to targets, and associated binaries like | |
50 | <command>runlevel</command>. Nevertheless, only one runlevel can | |
51 | be "active" at a given time, while systemd can activate multiple | |
52 | targets concurrently, so the mapping to runlevels is confusing | |
53 | and only approximate. Runlevels should not be used in new code, | |
54 | and are mostly useful as a shorthand way to refer the matching | |
55 | systemd targets in kernel boot parameters.</para> | |

100 | <para>The two runlevel characters are separated by a single space | |
