说明
systemctl edit opens a text editor to modify systemd unit files. By default, it creates a drop-in override file in `/etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d/override.conf` that extends the original unit without modifying it directly. With `--full`, the entire unit file is opened for editing. With `--full --force`, a new unit file can be created. After editing, systemd automatically reloads the configuration. The editor is determined by `SYSTEMD_EDITOR`, `EDITOR`, or `VISUAL` environment variables.
