<title>Configuration Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration files contain a list of
|
|
variable assignments, separated by newlines. Empty
|
|
lines and lines whose first non-whitespace character
|
|
is # or ; are ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that both / and . are accepted as label
|
|
separators within sysctl variable
|
|
names. <literal>kernel.domainname=foo</literal> and
|
|
<literal>kernel/domainname=foo</literal> hence are
|
|
entirely equivalent.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each configuration file shall be named in the
|
|
style of <filename><replaceable>program</replaceable>.conf</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> override files
|
|
with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>
|
|
and <filename>/run/</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/run/</filename> override files with the same
|
|
name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages
|
|
should install their configuration files in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
|
|
administrator, who may use this logic to override the
|
|
configuration files installed by vendor packages. All
|
|
configuration files are sorted by their filename in
|
|
lexicographic order, regardless of which of the
|
|
directories they reside in. If multiple files specify the
|
|
same variable name, the entry in the file with the
|
|
lexicographically latest name will be applied. It is
|
|
recommended to prefix all filenames with a two-digit
|
|
number and a dash, to simplify the ordering of the
|
|
files.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the administrator wants to disable a
|
|
configuration file supplied by the vendor, the
|
|
recommended way is to place a symlink to
|
|
<filename>/dev/null</filename> in
|
|
<filename>/etc/sysctl.d/</filename> bearing the
|
|
same filename.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The settings configured with
|
|
<filename>sysctl.d</filename> files will be applied
|
|
early on boot. The network interface-specific options
|
|
will also be applied individually for each network
|
|
interface as it shows up in the system. (More
|
|
specifically, that is
|
|
<filename>net.ipv4.conf.*</filename>,
|
|
<filename>net.ipv6.conf.*</filename>,
|
|
<filename>net.ipv4.neigh.*</filename> and <filename>net.ipv6.neigh.*</filename>)</para>
