NAME

6       sysctl.conf - sysctl(8) preload/configuration file
7

DESCRIPTION

9       sysctl.conf is a simple file containing sysctl values to be read in and
10       set by sysctl(8).  The syntax is simply as follows:
11
12              # comment
13              ; comment
14
15                token  =   value
16
17
18       Note that blank lines are ignored, and whitespace before  and  after  a
19       token  or  value  is  ignored,  although a value can contain whitespace
20       within.  Lines which begin with a # or ; are  considered  comments  and
21       ignored.

26
27                kernel.domainname = example.com
28              ; this one has a space which will be written to the sysctl!
29                kernel.modprobe = /sbin/mod probe
