NAME

sysctl.conf - sysctl(8) preload/configuration file

DESCRIPTION

sysctl.conf is a simple file containing sysctl values to be read in and set by sysctl(8). The syntax is simply as

follows
  1. comment

; comment token = value

Note that blank lines are ignored, and whitespace before and after a token or value is ignored, although a value can contain whitespace within. Lines which begin with a # or ; are considered comments and ignored.

EXAMPLE

  1. sysctl.conf sample

# kernel.domainname = example.com ; this one has a space which will be written to the sysctl! kernel.modprobe = /sbin/mod probe
