  38
  39     <para><command>systemd-delta</command> may be used to identify and
  40     compare configuration files that override other configuration
  41     files. Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> have highest priority,
  42     files in <filename>/run/</filename> have the second highest
  43     priority, …, files in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename> have lowest
  44     priority. Files in a directory with higher priority override files
  45     with the same name in directories of lower priority. In addition,
  46     certain configuration files can have <literal>.d</literal>
  47     directories which contain "drop-in" files with configuration
  48     snippets which augment the main configuration file. "Drop-in"
  49     files can be overridden in the same way by placing files with the
  50     same name in a directory of higher priority (except that, in case
  51     of "drop-in" files, both the "drop-in" file name and the name of
  52     the containing directory, which corresponds to the name of the
  53     main configuration file, must match). For a fuller explanation,
  54     see
  55     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
  56     </para>
  57
  58     <para>The command line argument will be split into a prefix and a
  59     suffix. Either is optional. The prefix must be one of the
  60     directories containing configuration files
  61     (<filename>/etc/</filename>, <filename>/run/</filename>,
  62     <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>, …). If it is given, only
  63     overriding files contained in this directory will be shown.
  64     Otherwise, all overriding files will be shown. The suffix must be
  65     a name of a subdirectory containing configuration files like
  66     <filename>tmpfiles.d</filename>, <filename>sysctl.d</filename> or
  67     <filename>systemd/system</filename>. If it is given, only
  68     configuration files in this subdirectory (across all configuration
  69     paths) will be analyzed. Otherwise, all configuration files will
  70     be analyzed. If the command line argument is not given at all, all
  71     configuration files will be analyzed. See below for some
  72     examples.</para>
