- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><command>systemd-networkd</command> is a system
- service that manages networks. It detects and configures
- network devices as they appear.</para>
-
- <para>Network devices are managed by networkd only if they
- have the udev tag <literal>systemd-networkd</literal>.</para>
-
- <para>Network configurations applied before networkd is started
- are not removed, and configuration applied by networkd are not
- removed when networkd exits. This ensures restarting networkd
- does not cut the network connection, and in particular that it
- is safe to transition between the initrd and the real root,
- and back.</para>

- <refsect1><title>Network Configuration</title>
- <para>The network files are read from the files located in the
- system network directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename>,
- the volatile runtime network directory
- <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> and the local administration
- network directory <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>.
- All link files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
- regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
- identical filenames replace each other. Files in
- <filename>/etc</filename> have the highest priority, files in
- <filename>/run</filename> take precedence over files with the same
- name in <filename>/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a
- system-supplied network file with a local file if needed; a symlink in
- <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a network file in
- <filename>/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
- disables the network file entirely. Network files must have the extension
- <filename>.network</filename>; other extensions are ignored.</para>
-
- <para>The network file contains a <literal>[Match]</literal> section,
- which determines if a given network file may be applied to a given device;
- and a <literal>[Network]</literal> section specifying how the device should
- be configured. The first (in lexical order) of the network files that
- matches a given device is applied.</para>
-
- <para>A network file is said to match a device if each of the entries in the
- <literal>[Match]</literal> section matches, or if the section is empty.
