NAME
       sysctl.conf - sysctl preload/configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       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.

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

FILES
       /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
