<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd</command> supports four general
power-saving modes:</para>
<variablelist>
<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.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>hibernate</term>
<listitem><para>a low-power state
where execution of the OS is paused,
and complete power loss does not
result in lost data, and which might
be slow to enter and exit. This
corresponds to the hibernation as
understood by the kernel.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>hybrid-sleep</term>
<listitem><para>a low-power state
where execution of the OS is paused,
which might be slow to enter, and on
complete power loss does not result in
lost data but might be slower to exit
in that case. This mode is called
suspend-to-both by the kernel.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>suspend-then-hibernate</term>
<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
<command>HibernateDelaySec=</command>, the system will be woken using an RTC
alarm and hibernated (the state is then stored on disk).
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<para>Settings in these files determine what strings
will be written to
<filename>/sys/power/disk</filename> and
<filename>/sys/power/state</filename> by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-sleep</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
when
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
attempts to suspend or hibernate the machine.

More than one value can be specified by separating
