- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para>At boot,
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-sysctl.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- reads configuration files from the above directories
- to configure
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- kernel parameters.</para>

- <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>&lt;program&gt;.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
- alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
- directories they reside, to guarantee that a specific
- configuration file takes precedence over another file
- with an alphabetically earlier name, if both files
- contain the same variable setting.</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 file name.</para>
