 |/etc/sysctl.d||file: [[/etc/sysctl.d/README]]: Kernel system variables configuration files
-Files found under the /etc/sysctl.d directory that end with .conf are
-parsed within sysctl(8) at boot time.  If you want to set kernel variables
-you can either edit /etc/sysctl.conf or make a new file.
-The filename isn't important, but don't make it a package name as it may clash
-with something the package builder needs later. The file name must end
-with .conf, or it will not be read.
-The recommended location for local system settings is /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf
-but as long as you follow the rules for the name of the file, anything will
-work. see the sysctl.conf(5) man page for details of the format.
