<title>Description</title>
<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
<command>enable</command> command.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-debug-generator</filename> implements the
