In installations using systemd, targets have replaced runlevels. Selected runlevel
numbers are aliased to selected targets. e.g. 3 equates roughly to
multi-user.target, and 5 equates to graphical.target, when used on a kernel
command line or the telinit alias to systemctl:

# ll /sbin/init
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jul 13 13:29 /sbin/init -> /lib/systemd/systemd
# ll /sbin/telinit
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jul 13 13:29 /sbin/telinit -> /bin/systemctl
