# systemd-hibernate-resume-generator(8)

Unit generator for resume= kernel parameter

## NAME

systemd-hibernate-resume-generator - Unit generator for resume= kernel parameter

## SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-hibernate-resume-generator

## DESCRIPTION

**systemd-hibernate-resume-generator** is a generator that initiates the procedure to resume the system from hibernation. When **resume=** kernel command line option or *HibernateLocation* EFI variable is detected, it enables the [**systemd-hibernate-resume.service**(8)](/systemd-hibernate-resume.service/8.md) unit, which will instruct the kernel to resume the system from the hibernation image.

## KERNEL COMMAND LINE

systemd-hibernate-resume-generator understands the following kernel command line parameters:

*resume=*

Takes a path to the resume device. Both persistent block device paths like /dev/disk/by-foo/bar and [**fstab**(5)](/fstab/5.md)-style specifiers like "FOO=bar" are supported.

Added in version 217.

*resume\_offset=*

Takes the page offset of the swap space from the resume device. Defaults to "0".

Added in version 254.

*resumeflags=*

Takes the resume device mount options to use. Defaults *rootflags=* if not specified.

Added in version 243.

*noresume*

Do not try to resume from hibernation. If this parameter is present, *resume=* is ignored.

Added in version 240.
