+
+    <para>The <filename>/etc/machine-info</filename> file contains
+    machine metadata.</para>
+
+    <para>The basic file format of <filename>machine-info</filename>
+    is a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible
+    variable assignments. It is possible to source the configuration
+    from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no
+    shell features are supported, allowing applications to read the
+    file without implementing a shell compatible execution
+    engine.</para>
+
+    <para><filename>/etc/machine-info</filename> contains metadata
+    about the machine that is set by the user or administrator.</para>
+
+    <para>Depending on the operating system other configuration files
+    might be checked for machine information as well, however only as
+    fallback.</para>
+
+    <para>You may use
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostnamectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    to change the settings of this file from the command line.</para>

+
+    <para>The following machine metadata parameters may be set using
+    <filename>/etc/machine-info</filename>:</para>

+
+      <varlistentry>
+        <term><varname>PRETTY_HOSTNAME=</varname></term>
+
+        <listitem><para>A pretty human-readable UTF-8 machine
+        identifier string. This should contain a name like
+        <literal>Lennart's Laptop</literal> which is useful to present
+        to the user and does not suffer by the syntax limitations of
+        internet domain names. If possible, the internet hostname as
+        configured in <filename>/etc/hostname</filename> should be
+        kept similar to this one. Example: if this value is
+        <literal>Lennart's Computer</literal> an Internet hostname of
+        <literal>lennarts-computer</literal> might be a good choice.
+        If this parameter is not set, an application should fall back
+        to the Internet host name for presentation
+        purposes.</para></listitem>

+        Icon Naming Specification</ulink>. If this parameter is not

+        <term><varname>CHASSIS=</varname></term>
+
+        <listitem><para>The chassis type. Currently, the following
+        chassis types are defined:
+        <literal>desktop</literal>,
+        <literal>laptop</literal>,
+        <literal>server</literal>,

+        as well as the special chassis types
+        <literal>vm</literal> and
+        <literal>container</literal> for
+        virtualized systems that lack an immediate physical chassis.
+        Note that many systems allow detection of the chassis type
+        automatically (based on firmware information or suchlike).
+        This setting (if set) shall take precedence over automatically
+        detected information and is useful to override misdetected
+        configuration or to manually configure the chassis type where
+        automatic detection is not available.</para></listitem>
