                <title>Description</title>

		<para><command>systemd</command> uses
		<filename>/etc/sysctl.d/</filename> to configure
		<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
		kernel parameters to load during boot. Each
		configuration file is named in the style of
		<filename>/etc/sysctl.d/&lt;program&gt;.conf</filename>.</para>
        </refsect1>

        <refsect1>
		<title>Configuration Format</title>

		<para>The configuration files should simply contain a
		list of variable assignments, separated by
		newlines. Empty lines and lines whose first
		non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.</para>

                <para>Note that both / and . are accepted as
                separators in sysctl variable names.</para>
