+## NAME
+podman\-generate\-systemd - Generate systemd unit file(s) for a container. Not supported for the remote client
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman generate systemd** [*options*] *container|pod*
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+**podman generate systemd** will create a systemd unit file that can be used to control a container or pod.
+By default, the command will print the content of the unit files to stdout.
+
+Note that this command is not supported for the remote client.
+
+## OPTIONS:
+
+**--files**, **-f**
+
+Generate files instead of printing to stdout. The generated files are named {container,pod}-{ID,name}.service and will be placed in the current working directory.
+
+**--name**, **-n**
+
+Use the name of the container for the start, stop, and description in the unit file
+
+**--timeout**, **-t**=*value*
+
+Override the default stop timeout for the container with the given value.
+
+**--restart-policy**=*policy*
+Set the systemd restart policy. The restart-policy must be one of: "no", "on-success", "on-failure", "on-abnormal",
+"on-watchdog", "on-abort", or "always". The default policy is *on-failure*.
+
+## Examples
+
+Create and print a systemd unit file for a container running nginx with an *always* restart policy and 1-second timeout to stdout.
+```
+$ podman create --name nginx nginx:latest
+$ podman generate systemd --restart-policy=always -t 1 nginx

+
+Create systemd unit files for a pod with two simple alpine containers. Note that these container services cannot be started or stopped individually via `systemctl`; they are managed by the pod service. You can still use `systemctl status` or journalctl to examine them.
+```
+$ podman pod create --name systemd-pod
+$ podman create --pod systemd-pod alpine top
+$ podman create --pod systemd-pod alpine top
+$ podman generate systemd --files --name systemd-pod
