<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-delta</command> may be used to
identify and compare configuration files that override
other configuration files. Files in
<filename>/etc</filename> have highest priority, files
in <filename>/run</filename> have the second highest
priority, ..., files in <filename>/lib</filename> have
lowest priority. Files in a directory with higher
priority override files with the same name in
directories of lower priority. In addition, certain
configuration files can have <literal>.d</literal>
directories which contain "drop-in" files with
configuration snippets which augment the main
configuration file. "Drop-in" files can be overriden
in the same way by placing files with the same name in
a directory of higher priority (except that in case of
"drop-in" files, both the "drop-in" file name and the
name of the containing directory, which corresponds to
the name of the main configuration file, must match).
For a fuller explanation, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>The command line argument will be split into a
prefix and a suffix. Either is optional. The prefix
must be one of the directories containing
configuration files (<filename>/etc</filename>,
<filename>/run</filename>,
<filename>/usr/lib</filename>, ...). If it is given,
only overriding files contained in this directory will
be shown. Otherwise, all overriding files will be
shown. The suffix must be a name of a subdirectory
containing configuration files like
<filename>tmpfiles.d</filename>,
<filename>sysctl.d</filename> or
<filename>systemd/system</filename>. If it is given,
only configuration files in this subdirectory (across
all configuration paths) will be analyzed. Otherwise,
all configuration files will be analyzed. If the
commandline argument is not given at all, all
configuration files will be analyzed. See below for
some examples.</para>
