NAME
       interface-order - resolvconf configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       The  file  /etc/resolvconf/interface-order is used to control the order
       in which resolvconf nameserver information  records  are	 processed  by
       those resolvconf update scripts that consult this file.	In Mageia, the
       expansion of each line is sorted again  by  the	metric	value  of  the
       interfaces.   (The  name	 of the file is apt because a resolvconf name‐
       server information record is named after the interface with which it is
       associated.)

       The file contains a sequence of shell glob patterns, one per line.  The
       position of a record in the order is the point at which its name	 first
       matches a pattern.

       Patterns may not contain whitespace, slashes or initial dots or tildes.
       Blank lines and lines beginning with a '#' are ignored.

       Resolvconf update scripts  in  /etc/resolvconf/update.d/	 that  consult
       this  file  include  the current default versions of dnsmasq, pdnsd and
       libc.  (Actually they don't read the file directly; they call the util‐
       ity  program  /lib/resolvconf/list-records  which  lists records in the
       specified order and omits the names of empty records.)

EXAMPLE
       # /etc/resolvconf/interface-order
       # Use nameservers on the loopback interface first.
       lo*
       # Next use records for Ethernet interfaces
       eth*
       # Next use records for Wi-Fi interfaces
       wlan*
       # Next use records for PPP interfaces
       ppp*
       # Last use other interfaces
       *
