-
- <para><filename>systemd-debug-generator</filename> is
- a generator that reads the kernel command line and
- understands three options:</para>
-
- <para>If the <option>systemd.mask=</option> option is
- specified and followed by a unit name, this unit is
- masked for the runtime, similar to the effect of
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
- <command>mask</command> command. This is useful to
- boot with certain units removed from the initial boot
- transaction for debugging system startup. May be
- specified more than once.</para>
-
- <para>If the <option>systemd.wants=</option> option is
- specified and followed by a unit name, a start job for
- this unit is added to the initial transaction. This is
- useful to start one or more additional units at
- boot. May be specified more than once.</para>
-
- <para>If the <option>systemd.debug-shell</option>
- option is specified, the debug shell service
- <literal>debug-shell.service</literal> is pulled into
- the boot transaction. It will spawn a debug shell on
- tty9 during early system startup. Note that the shell
- may also be turned on persistently by enabling it with
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
