sysctl.conf − sysctl preload/configuration file
sysctl.conf is a simple file containing sysctl values to be read in and set by sysctl. The syntax is simply as follows:
# 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.
# sysctl.conf
sample
#
kernel.domainname = example.com
; this one has a space which will be written to the sysctl!
kernel.modprobe = /sbin/mod probe
/run/sysctl.d/*.conf
/etc/sysctl.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf
/usr/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf
/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf
/etc/sysctl.conf
The paths where sysctl preload files usually exit. See also sysctl option −−system.
