11 sysctl.conf \- sysctl(8) preload/configuration file
14 is a simple file containing sysctl values to be read in and set by sysctl(8).
15 The syntax is simply as follows:
28 Note that blank lines are ignored, and whitespace before and after a token or
29 value is ignored, although a value can contain whitespace within. Lines which
30 begin with a # or ; are considered comments and ignored.
39 kernel.domainname = example.com
40 ; this one has a space which will be written to the sysctl!
41 kernel.modprobe = /sbin/mod probe
