SYSTEMD-C...GENERATOR(8)

💖 SYSTEMD-C...GENERATOR(8) 💖

okay bestie, sit down, we're talking about systemd-clonesetup-generator, which lives in section 8 of the manual. yes the title is abbreviated with dots, it's giving ✨mysterious✨, but the real name is right there in the NAME section, promise. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

systemd-clonesetup-generator — the unit generator for /etc/clonetab 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-clonesetup-generator

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so like. systemd-clonesetup-generator is a generator, right? and what generators do is translate stuff into native systemd units. this one takes /etc/clonetab and turns it into actual systemd units early at boot — and also whenever the configuration of the system manager gets reloaded, no cap. 🔥

and the way it does that? it creates systemd-clonesetup@.service(8) units as necessary. literally that's the whole vibe. it just makes them. 💅

also important, bestie: systemd-clonesetup-generator implements systemd.generator(7). so it's playing by the generator rules, iykyk. 🌈
