NAME¶
binfmt.d - Configure additional binary formats for executables at boot
SYNOPSIS¶
/etc/binfmt.d/*.conf
/run/binfmt.d/*.conf
/usr/lib/binfmt.d/*.conf
DESCRIPTION¶
At boot,
systemd-binfmt.service(8) reads configuration files from the
above directories to register in the kernel additional binary formats for
executables.
Each file contains a list of binfmt_misc kernel binary format rules. Consult
binfmt_misc.txt[1] for more information on registration of additional
binary formats and how to write rules.
Empty lines and lines beginning with ; and # are ignored. Note that this means
you may not use ; and # as delimiter in binary format rules.
CONFIGURATION DIRECTORIES AND PRECEDENCE¶
Configuration files are read from directories in /etc/, /run/, and /lib/, in
order of precedence. Each configuration file in these configuration
directories shall be named in the style of
filename.conf. Files in
/etc/ override files with the same name in /run/ and /lib/. Files in /run/
override files with the same name in /lib/.
Packages should install their configuration files in /lib/. Files in /etc/ are
reserved for the local administrator, who may use this logic to override the
configuration files installed by vendor packages. All configuration files are
sorted by their filename in lexicographic order, regardless of which of the
directories they reside in. If multiple files specify the same option, the
entry in the file with the lexicographically latest name will take precedence.
It is recommended to prefix all filenames with a two-digit number and a dash,
to simplify the ordering of the files.
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 the
configuration directory in /etc/, with the same filename as the vendor
configuration file. If the vendor configuration file is included in the initrd
image, the image has to be regenerated.
