SYSCTL.CONF(5)

NAME
sysctl.conf - sysctl(8) preload/configuration file

DESCRIPTION
sysctl.conf is a simple file containing sysctl values to be read in and set by sysctl(8). The syntax is simply as follows:

    # comment
    ; comment
      token  =   value

Note that blank lines are ignored, and whitespace before and after a token or value is ignored, although a value can contain whitespace within. Lines which begin with a # or ; are considered comments and ignored.

EXAMPLE

    # sysctl.conf sample
    #
      kernel.domainname = example.com
    ; this one has a space which will be written to the sysctl!
      kernel.modprobe = /sbin/mod probe
