NAME
       rc.config, rc.config.d - files containing system configuration informa‐
       tion

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       The system configuration used at startup is contained in	 files	within
       the  directory The file sources all of the files within and and exports
       their contents to the environment.

   /etc/rc.config
       The file is a script that sources all of the scripts, and also  sources
       To  read the configuration definitions, only this file need be sourced.
       This file is sourced by whenever it is run, such as when the command is
       run  to	transition  between  run  states.  Each file that exists in is
       sourced, without regard to which startup scripts are to be executed.

   /etc/rc.config.d
       The configuration information is structured as a	 directory  of	files,
       rather  than  as	 a  single file containing the same information.  This
       allows developers to create and manage their  own  configuration	 files
       here,  without  the  complications  of shared ownership and access of a
       common file.

   /etc/rc.config.d/* Files
       This is where files containing configuration variable  assignments  are
       located.

       Configuration  scripts  must  be written to be read by the POSIX shell,
       and not the Bourne shell, or In some cases, these files	must  also  be
       read  and possibly modified by control scripts or the sam program.  See
       sd(4) and sam(1M).  For this  reason,  each  variable  definition  must
       appear on a separate line, with the syntax:

       No trailing comments may appear on a variable definition line.  Comment
       statements must be on separate lines, with  the	comment	 character  in
       column  one.   This example shows the required syntax for configuration
       files:

       Configuration variables	may  be	 declared  as  array  parameters  when
       describing multiple instances of the variable configuration.  For exam‐
       ple, a system may contain two network interfaces, each having a	unique
       IP  address  and	 subnet mask (see ifconfig(1M)).  An example of such a
       declaration is as follows:

       Note that there must be no requirements	on  the	 order	of  the	 files
       sourced.	  This	means  configuration files must not refer to variables
       defined in other configuration files, since there is no guarantee  that
       the  variable  being referenced is currently defined.  There is no pro‐
       tection against environment variable namespace collision in these  con‐
       figuration files.  Programmers must take care to avoid such problems.

   /etc/TIMEZONE
       The  file  contains  the	 definition of the environment variable.  This
       file is required by POSIX.  It is sourced by at the same time the files
       are sourced.
