  63     <title>Description</title>
  64
  65     <para><filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> is a system
  66     service that is pulled in by <filename>suspend.target</filename>
  67     and is responsible for the actual system suspend. Similarly,
  68     <filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename> is pulled in by
  69     <filename>hibernate.target</filename> to execute the actual
  70     hibernation. Finally,
  71     <filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename> is pulled in by
  72     <filename>hybrid-sleep.target</filename> to execute hybrid
  73     hibernation with system suspend.</para>
  74
  75     <para>Immediately before entering system suspend and/or
  76     hibernation <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename> (and the
  77     other mentioned units, respectively) will run all executables in
  78     <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename> and pass two
  79     arguments to them. The first argument will be
  80     <literal>pre</literal>, the second either
  81     <literal>suspend</literal>, <literal>hibernate</literal>, or
  82     <literal>hybrid-sleep</literal> depending on the chosen action.
  83     Immediately after leaving system suspend and/or hibernation the
  84     same executables are run, but the first argument is now
  85     <literal>post</literal>. All executables in this directory are
  86     executed in parallel, and execution of the action is not continued
  87     until all executables have finished.</para>
  88
  89     <para>Note that scripts or binaries dropped in
  90     <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/</filename> are intended
  91     for local use only and should be considered hacks. If applications
  92     want to be notified of system suspend/hibernation and resume,
  93     there are much nicer interfaces available.</para>
  94
  95     <para>Note that
  96     <filename>systemd-suspend.service</filename>,
  97     <filename>systemd-hibernate.service</filename>, and
  98     <filename>systemd-hybrid-sleep.service</filename>
  99     should never be executed directly. Instead, trigger system sleep
 100     states with a command such as <literal>systemctl suspend</literal>
 101     or similar.</para>
 102
 103     <para>Internally, this service will echo a string like
 104     <literal>mem</literal> into <filename>/sys/power/state</filename>,
 105     to trigger the actual system suspend. What exactly is written
 106     where can be configured in the <literal>[Sleep]</literal> section
 107     of <filename>/etc/systemd/sleep.conf</filename> or a
 108     <filename>sleep.conf.d</filename> file. See
 109     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-sleep.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
