+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><filename>systemd-sysctl.service</filename> is an early boot
+ service that configures
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sysctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ kernel parameters by invoking <command>/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl</command>.</para>
+
+ <para>When invoked with no arguments, <command>/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl</command> applies
+ all directives from configuration files listed in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysctl.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
+ If one or more filenames are passed on the command line, only the directives in these files are
+ applied.</para>
+
+ <para>In addition, <option>--prefix=</option> option may be used to limit which sysctl
+ settings are applied.</para>
+
+ <para>See
+ <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sysctl.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for information about the configuration of sysctl settings. After sysctl configuration is
+ changed on disk, it must be written to the files in <filename>/proc/sys</filename> before it
+ takes effect. It is possible to update specific settings, or simply to reload all configuration,
+ see Examples below.</para>
