Both permit configuring data to pass through STDIN to an invoked process. StandardInputText= accepts a line of text (possibly with embedded C-style escapes as well as unit specifiers), which is appended to the buffer to pass as stdin, followed by a single newline. StandardInputData= is similar, but accepts arbitrary base64 encoded data, and will not resolve specifiers or C-style escapes, nor append newlines. This may be used to pass input/configuration data to services, directly in-line from unit files, either in a cooked or in a more raw format.
