systemctl preset [OPTIONS] UNIT...

systemctl preset resets the enablement state of specified unit files to the defaults defined in preset policy files. Preset files in `/usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/` and `/etc/systemd/system-preset/` define which units should be enabled or disabled by default.
This is typically used after package installation to set the initial enablement state according to distribution policy.

--preset-mode= MODE

full (default), enable-only, or disable-only

Suppress output, return only exit code

Operate on user units

Preset policies are distribution-specific. Running preset on a unit may change whether it starts at boot. Use `--preset-mode` to limit changes to only enabling or disabling.

The preset subcommand implements policy-based enablement, allowing distributions to define default service states while letting administrators override them.
