DESCRIPTION         top

       systemd-factory-reset-generator is a generator that pulls
       factory-reset-now.target into the initial boot transaction when
       the factory reset operation has been requested, either via the
       systemd.factory_reset= kernel command line option or via the
       FactoryResetRequest EFI variable.

       systemd-factory-reset-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
