SYSTEMD-BSOD.SERVICE(8)       systemd-bsod       SYSTEMD-BSOD.SERVICE(8)

NAME         top

       systemd-bsod.service, systemd-bsod - Displays boot-time emergency
       log message in full screen

SYNOPSIS         top

       systemd-bsod.service

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bsod [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION         top

       systemd-bsod.service is used to display a blue screen which
       contains a message relating to a boot failure, including a QR
       code which can be scanned to get helpful information about the
       failure.

OPTIONS         top

       The following options are understood by systemd-bsod:

       -h, --help
           Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
           Print a short version string and exit.

       -c, --continuous
           When specified, systemd-bsod waits continuously for changes
           in the journal if it doesn't find any emergency messages on
           the initial attempt.

           Added in version 255.

       --tty=
           Specify the TTY to output to. By default systemd-bsod will
           automatically find a free VT to display the message on. If
           this option is specified a TTY may be selected explicitly.
           Use --tty=/dev/tty to direct output to the terminal the
           command is invoked on.

           Added in version 256.

EXIT STATUS         top

       On success (displaying the journal message successfully), 0 is
       returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
