    <para><command>systemd</command> supports four general
    power-saving modes:</para>

      <varlistentry>
        <term>suspend</term>

        <listitem><para>a low-power state
        where execution of the OS is paused,
        and complete power loss might result
        in lost data, and which is fast to
        enter and exit. This corresponds to
        suspend, standby, or freeze states as
        understood by the kernel.

        where execution of the OS is paused,
        and complete power loss does not
        result in lost data, and which might

        <listitem><para>A low power state where the system is initially suspended
        (the state is stored in RAM). If not interrupted within the delay specified by

    <title>Options</title>

    <para>The following options can be configured in the
    <literal>[Sleep]</literal> section of
    <filename>/etc/systemd/sleep.conf</filename> or a
    <filename>sleep.conf.d</filename> file:</para>

        <listitem><para>By default any power-saving mode is advertised if possible (i.e.

        switches can be used to disable specific modes.</para>

        internally. <varname>AllowSuspendThenHibernate=yes</varname> and
