Note that this +means you may not use ; and # as delimiter in binary format rules. + +Each configuration file is named in the style of .conf.

Packages +should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/, files in /etc/ are +reserved for the local administration, which possibly decides to +overwrite the configurations installed from packages. All files are +sorted by filename in alphabetical order, regardless in which of the +directories they reside, to ensure that a specific configuration file +takes precedence over another file with an alphabetically later name. + +EXAMPLE +------- +*Example 1. /etc/binfmt.d/wine.conf example:* + + # Start WINE on Windows executables + :DOSWin:M::MZ::/usr/bin/wine: + +NOTES +----- +*1. binfmt_misc.txt:* + http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt + +AUTHORS +------- +Original by Lennart Poettering, adapted to Arch Linux by Sébastien Luttringer. -- cgit v1.2.3
