How does systemctl suspend work?
From the systemctl manpage:
suspend
Suspend the system. This will trigger activation of the special target unit suspend.target. This command is asynchronous, and will
return after the suspend operation is successfully enqueued. It will
not wait for the suspend/resume cycle to complete.
On my system the suspend.target looks like this:
[Unit]
Description=Suspend
Documentation=man:systemd.special(7)
DefaultDependencies=no
Requires=systemd-suspend.service
After=systemd-suspend.service
StopWhenUnneeded=yes
If I look at the documentation listed there I get find this:
suspend.target
A special target unit for suspending the system. This pulls in sleep.target.
What I'm actually looking for is what the systemctl suspend command does to actually trigger a suspend. I image its doing something to /sys/power/state and friends but I would like to know the exact commands it is issuing.
So, how does systemctl suspend actually suspend the system?
