| <title>Description</title> |
| |
| <para>Network link configuration is performed by the <command>net_setup_link</command> |
| udev builtin.</para> |
| |
| <para>The link files are read from the files located in the |
| system network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>, |
| the volatile runtime network directory <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename>, |
| and the local administration network directory <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>. |
| Link files must have the extension <filename>.link</filename>; other extensions are ignored. |
| All link files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order, |
| regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with |
| identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename> |
| have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence |
| over files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be |
| used to override a system-supplied link file with a local file if needed; |
| a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a link file in |
| <filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>, |
| disables the link file entirely.</para> |
| |
| <para>The link file contains a <literal>[Match]</literal> section, which |
| determines if a given link file may be applied to a given device; and a |
| <literal>[Link]</literal> section specifying how the device should be |
| configured. The first (in lexical order) of the link files that matches |
| a given device is applied.</para> |
| |
| <para>A link file is said to match a device if each of the entries in the |
| <literal>[Match]</literal> section matches, or if the section is empty. |
| The following keys are accepted:</para> |
