Several manpages contain duplicate text describing a standard set of .d configuration directories, with the usual sorting, precedence, overrides, and so on. Factor this common text out using XInclude before proliferating it even further.

<title>Configuration Directories and Precedence</title>

<para>Configuration files are read from directories in
|
|
<filename>/etc/</filename>, <filename>/run/</filename>, and
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>, in order of precedence.
|
|
Each configuration file in these configuration directories shall be named in
|
|
the style of <filename><replaceable>filename</replaceable>.conf</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> override files with the same name in
|
|
<filename>/run/</filename> and <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/run/</filename> override files with the same name in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Packages should install their configuration files in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file supplied by
|
|
the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink to
|
|
<filename>/dev/null</filename> in the configuration directory in
|
|
<filename>/etc/</filename>, with the same filename as the vendor
|
|
configuration file.</para>

<para>Configuration is also read from a single configuration file in
|
|
<filename>/etc/</filename>. This file is read before any of the
|
|
configuration directories, and has the lowest precedence; entries in a file
|
|
in any configuration directory override entries in the single configuration
|
|
file.</para>
