## NAME
       systemd-xdg-autostart-generator - User unit generator for XDG autostart files

## SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/systemd/user-generators/systemd-xdg-autostart-generator

## DESCRIPTION
       systemd-xdg-autostart-generator is a generator that creates .service units for **XDG**
       **autostart**[1] files. This permits desktop environments to delegate startup of these
       applications to [**systemd**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/systemd/1/markdown) .

       Units created by systemd-xdg-autostart-generator can be started by the desktop environment
       using "xdg-desktop-autostart.target". See [**systemd.special**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/systemd.special/7/markdown) for more details.

       systemd-xdg-autostart-generator implements [**systemd.generator**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/systemd.generator/7/markdown).
