Description
- systemd uses
- /etc/binfmt.d/ to configure
- additional binary formats to register during boot in
- the kernel. Each configuration file is named in the
- style of
- /etc/binfmt.d/<program>.conf.

+ At boot,
+ systemd-binfmt.service8
+ reads configuration files from the above directories
+ to register in the kernel additional binary
+ formats for executables.
- Configuration Format
+ Configuration Format
Each file contains a list of binfmt_misc kernel
binary format rules. Consult
- Configuration files are loaded in alphabetical
- order. To ensure that a specific rule takes precedence
- over another place it in a file with an alphabetically
- later name.
-
+ Each configuration file shall be named in the
+ style of program.conf.
+ Files in /etc/ override files
+ with the same name in /usr/lib/
+ and /run/. Files in
+ /run/ override files with the
+ same name in /usr/lib/. Packages
+ should install their configuration files in
+ /usr/lib/, files in
+ /etc/ are reserved for the local
+ administrator, who may use this logic to override the
+ configuration files installed from vendor
+ packages. All files are sorted by their filename in
+ alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
+ directories they reside, to guarantee that a specific
+ configuration file takes precedence over another file
+ with an alphabetically later name.
+
+ If the administrator wants to disable a
+ configuration file supplied by the vendor, the
+ recommended way is to place a symlink to
+ /dev/null in
+ /etc/binfmt.d/ bearing the
+ same filename.
