Description
systemd-delta may be used to
- identify and compare configuration files in
- /etc that override default
- counterparts in /usr. The command
- line argument can be one or more name of a subdirectories of
- /etc or
- /usr/lib to compare, such as
- tmpfiles.d, sysctl.d or
- systemd/system.
-
- When no argument is specified a number of
- well-known subdirectories are searched for overridden
- files.
+ identify and compare configuration files that override
+ other configuration files. Files in
+ /etc have highest priority, files
+ in /run have the second highest
+ priority, ..., files in /lib have
+ lowest priority. Files in a directory with higher
+ priority override files with the same name in
+ directories of lower priority. In addition, certain
+ configuration files can have .d
+ directories which contain "drop-in" files with
+ configuration snippets which augment the main
+ configuration file. "Drop-in" files can be overriden
+ in the same way by placing files with the same name in
+ a directory of higher priority (except that in case of
+ "drop-in" files, both the "drop-in" file name and the
+ name of the containing directory, which corresponds to
+ the name of the main configuration file, must match).
+ For a fuller explanation, see
+ systemd.unit5.
+
+
+ The command line argument will be split into a
+ prefix and a suffix. Either is optional. The prefix
+ must be one of the directories containing
+ configuration files (/etc,
+ /run,
+ /usr/lib, ...). If it is given,
+ only overriding files contained in this directory will
+ be shown. Otherwise, all overriding files will be
+ shown. The suffix must be a name of a subdirectory
+ containing configuration files like
+ tmpfiles.d,
+ sysctl.d or
+ systemd/system. If it is given,
+ only configuration files in this subdirectory (across
+ all configuration paths) will be analyzed. Otherwise,
+ all configuration files will be analyzed. If the
+ commandline argument is not given at all, all
+ configuration files will be analyzed. See below for
+ some examples.
