9 systemd-delta [OPTIONS...] [PREFIX[/SUFFIX]|SUFFIX...]
10
12 systemd-delta may be used to identify and compare configuration files
13 that override other configuration files. Files in /etc have highest
14 priority, files in /run have the second highest priority, ..., files in
15 /lib have lowest priority. Files in a directory with higher priority
16 override files with the same name in directories of lower priority. In
17 addition, certain configuration files can have ".d" directories which
18 contain "drop-in" files with configuration snippets which augment the
19 main configuration file. "Drop-in" files can be overriden in the same
20 way by placing files with the same name in a directory of higher
21 priority (except that in case of "drop-in" files, both the "drop-in"
22 file name and the name of the containing directory, which corresponds
23 to the name of the main configuration file, must match). For a fuller
24 explanation, see systemd.unit(5).
25
26 The command line argument will be split into a prefix and a suffix.
27 Either is optional. The prefix must be one of the directories
28 containing configuration files (/etc, /run, /usr/lib, ...). If it is
29 given, only overriding files contained in this directory will be shown.
30 Otherwise, all overriding files will be shown. The suffix must be a
31 name of a subdirectory containing configuration files like tmpfiles.d,
32 sysctl.d or systemd/system. If it is given, only configuration files in
33 this subdirectory (across all configuration paths) will be analyzed.
34 Otherwise, all configuration files will be analyzed. If the command
35 line argument is not given at all, all configuration files will be
36 analyzed. See below for some examples.
37
39 The following options are understood:
40
41 -t, --type=
42 When listing the differences, only list those that are asked for.
43 The list itself is a comma-separated list of desired difference
44 types.
45
46 Recognized types are:
47
48 masked
49 Show masked files
50
51 equivalent
52 Show overridden files that while overridden, do not differ in
53 content.
54
55 redirected
56 Show files that are redirected to another.
57
58 overridden
59 Show overridden, and changed files.
60
61 extended
62 Show *.conf files in drop-in directories for units.
63
64 unchanged
65 Show unmodified files too.
66
67
68 --diff=
69 When showing modified files, when a file is overridden show a diff
70 as well. This option takes a boolean argument. If omitted, it
71 defaults to true.
72
73 -h, --help
74 Print a short help text and exit.
75
76 --version
77 Print a short version string and exit.
78
79 --no-pager
80 Do not pipe output into a pager.
81
83 To see all local configuration:
84
85 systemd-delta
86
87 To see all runtime configuration:
88
89 systemd-delta /run
90
91 To see all system unit configuration changes:
92
93 systemd-delta systemd/system
94
95 To see all runtime "drop-in" changes for system units:
96
97 systemd-delta --type=extended /run/systemd/system
98
100 On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
