VARSYM.CONF(5)

NAME
varsym.conf - set system-wide varsym(1) variables

SYNOPSIS
/etc/varsym.conf

DESCRIPTION
The varsym.conf file specifies a list of system-wide variables that can then be used in variant symlinks. Each line specifies one variable and its data in the same format of the varsym(1) command, i.e.,

    var=data
    "variable name"="variable data"

Spaces are not allowed around the “=” sign. Both the variable name and data can contain spaces but must be quoted. Empty lines or lines beginning with a “#” are ignored. Inline comments should not be used.

Processing varsym.conf is activated by setting varsym_enable in /etc/rc.conf and setting the vfs.varsym_enable sysctl.
