NAME
       vps.conf - configuration file for an OpenVZ container.

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/vz/conf/XXX.conf

DESCRIPTION
       This is a configuration file for a container. It is stored as
       /etc/vz/conf/CTID.conf, where CTID is the numeric ID of the given
       container.

       Configuration file consists of lines in the form

       PARAMETER="value"

       All parameter names and values are case-sensitive. Quotes surrounding a
       value are required if value contains spaces, and are optional
       otherwise.  Extra spaces are not allowed. All unrecognized lines will
       be ignored.

       Please note that the file is created/modified by the vzctl(8) command
       with the set --save arguments, therefore changes to this file made
       otherwise than by vzctl(8) can be lost during the next vzctl run.

       The meaning of each parameter is described in vzctl(8), so here only
       the appropriate vzctl set option is given.
