+
+ <para><command>systemd</command> uses
+ <filename>/etc/binfmt.d/</filename> to configure
+ additional binary formats to register during boot in
+ the kernel. Each configuration file is named in the
+ style of
+ <filename>/etc/binfmt.d/&lt;program&gt;.conf</filename>.</para>

+ <title>Configuration Format</title>
+
+ <para>Each file contains a list of binfmt_misc kernel
+ binary format rules. Consult <ulink
+ url="http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt">binfmt_misc.txt</ulink>
+ for more information on registration of additional
+ binary formats and how to write rules.</para>
+
+ <para>Empty lines and lines beginning with ; and # are
+ ignored. Note that this means you may not use ; and #
+ as delimiter in binary format rules.</para>
+
+ <para>Configuration files are loaded in alphabetical
+ order. To ensure that a specific rule takes precedence
+ over another place it in a file with an alphabetically
+ later name.</para>
