<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd</command> uses
- <filename>/etc/modules-load.d/</filename> to configure
+ files from the above directories to configure
kernel modules to load during boot in a static list.
Each configuration file is named in the style of
<filename>/etc/modules-load.d/<program>.conf</filename>. Note
newlines. Empty lines and lines whose first
non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.</para>
+ <para>Each configuration file is named in the style of
+ <filename><program>.conf</filename>.
+ Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> overwrite
+ files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>.
+ Files in <filename>/run</filename> overwrite files with
+ the same name in <filename>/etc/</filename> and
+ <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages should install their
+ configuration files in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>, files
+ in <filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
+ administration, which possibly decides to overwrite the
+ configurations installed from packages. All files are sorted
+ by filename in alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
+ directories they reside, to ensure that a specific
+ configuration file takes precedence over another file with
+ an alphabetically later name.</para>
