<code class="filename">/etc/</code> 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
alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
directories they reside, to guarantee that a specific
configuration file takes precedence over another file
with an alphabetically later name.</p><p>If the administrator wants to disable a
configuration file supplied by the vendor the
recommended way is to place a symlink to
<code class="filename">/dev/null</code> in
<code class="filename">/etc/tmpfiles.d/</code> bearing the
same file name.</p><p>The configuration format is one line per path
