These printf specifiers allow us to refer to $HOME and $USER in unit files. These are particularly helpful in instanced units that have "User=" set, and in systemd --user domains. The specifiers will return the pw_name and pw_dir fields if the unit file has a User= field. If the unit file does not have a User= field, the value substituted is either $USER or $HOME from the environment, or, if unset, the values from pw_name or pw_dir. This patch is somewhat after Ran Benita's original patch, which didn't get merged. I've split up the 2 specifiers and extended them to do what is logically expected from these specifiers. Note that expansion is done at `start` time, not after the units are parsed. Using `systemctl show` will just show the specifiers.

LICENSE:
LGPLv2.1+ for all code
- except sd-daemon.[ch] and sd-readahead.[ch] which are MIT
- except src/udev/ which is GPLv2.0+
REQUIREMENTS:
Linux kernel >= 2.6.39
with devtmpfs
with cgroups (but it's OK to disable all controllers)
optional but strongly recommended: autofs4, ipv6
dbus >= 1.4.0
libcap
PAM >= 1.1.2 (optional)
libcryptsetup (optional)
libaudit (optional)
libselinux (optional)
tcpwrappers (optional)
When you build from git you need the following additional dependencies:
docbook-xsl
xsltproc
automake
autoconf
libtool
gperf
make, gcc, and similar tools
During runtime you need the following dependencies:
util-linux > v2.18 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s)
sulogin (from sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended)
dracut (optional)
When systemd-hostnamed is used it is strongly recommended to
install nss-myhostname to ensure that in a world of
dynamically changing hostnames the hostname stays resolveable
under all circumstances. In fact, systemd-hostnamed will warn
if nss-myhostname is not installed. Packagers are encouraged to
add a dependency on nss-myhostname to the package that
includes systemd-hostnamed.
Note that D-Bus can link against libsystemd-login.so, which
results in a cyclic build dependency. To accommodate for this
please build D-Bus without systemd first, then build systemd,
then rebuild D-Bus with systemd support.
WARNINGS:
systemd will warn you during boot if /etc/mtab is not a
symlink to /proc/mounts. Please ensure that /etc/mtab is a
proper symlink.
systemd will warn you during boot if /usr is on a different
file system than /. While in systemd itself very little will
break if /usr is on a separate partition many of its
dependencies very likely will break sooner or later in one
form or another. For example udev rules tend to refer to
binaries in /usr, binaries that link to libraries in /usr or
binaries that refer to data files in /usr. Since these
breakages are not always directly visible systemd will warn
about this, since this kind of file system setup is not really
supported anymore by the basic set of Linux OS components.
