<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-sysctl.service</filename> is an early boot
service that configures
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>sysctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
kernel parameters by invoking <command>/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl</command>.</para>
<para>When invoked with no arguments, <command>/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl</command> applies
all directives from configuration files listed in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysctl.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
If one or more filenames are passed on the command line, only the directives in these files are
applied.</para>
<para>In addition, <option>--prefix=</option> option may be used to limit which sysctl
settings are applied.</para>
<para>See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sysctl.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for information about the configuration of sysctl settings. After sysctl configuration is
changed on disk, it must be written to the files in <filename>/proc/sys</filename> before it
takes effect. It is possible to update specific settings, or simply to reload all configuration,
see Examples below.</para>

Either <filename>/etc/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf</filename>, or
<filename>/run/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf</filename>, or

of preference.</para>
