SYSCTL.CONF(5) DragonFly File Formats Manual SYSCTL.CONF(5)
NAME
 sysctl.conf -- kernel state defaults
DESCRIPTION
 The /etc/sysctl.conf file is read in when the system goes into multi-user
 mode to set default settings for the kernel. The /etc/sysctl.conf is in
 the format of the sysctl(8) command, i.e.
 sysctl_mib=value
 Comments are denoted by a ``#'' at the beginning of a line. Comments can
 also exist at the end of a line, as seen in the EXAMPLES section, below.
FILES
 /etc/sysctl.conf Initial settings for sysctl(8).
EXAMPLES
 To turn off logging of programs that exit due to fatal signals you may
 use a configuration like
 # Configure logging.
 kern.logsigexit=0 # Do not log fatal signal exits (e.g. sig 11)
SEE ALSO
 rc.conf(5), rc(8), sysctl(8)
HISTORY
 The sysctl.conf file appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
BUGS
 If loadable kernel modules are used to introduce additional kernel
 functionality and sysctls to manage that functionality, sysctl.conf may
 be processed too early in the boot process to set those sysctls.
