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:
-
-
# comment
-; comment
-token = value
-
+
# 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
+ # sysctl.conf sample
+ #
+ kernel.domainname = example.com
+ ; this one has a space which will be written to the sysctl!
+ kernel.modprobe = /sbin/mod probe
-# sysctl.conf sample
-#
-kernel.domainname = example.com
-; this one has a space which will be written to the sysctl!
-kernel.modprobe = /sbin/mod probe
