" Except that: grep "=-" /usr/lib/systemd/*/* throws up a whole bunch of of hits which don't include the word EnvironmentFile. IOW this syntax is not specific to that word, so the fact that you found it with "man -K EnvironmentFile" is merely a lucky guess. If you had done the above grep first, you most likely would not have thought of it (as I didn't). I still await some identification of where the general rule is specified.
