[PATCH 2/3] conffile: allow optional include files.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If nfs.conf contains, for example
  include = /etc/nfs.conf.local
and /etc/nfs.conf.local doesn't exist, then a warning is given.
Sometimes it is useful to have an optional include file which is
included if present, but for which an absence doesn't give a
warning.

Systemd has a convention that a hyphen at the start of
an include file name marks it as optional, so add this convention
to nfs-utils.
So
  include = -/etc/nfs.conf.local
will not give a warning if the file doesn't exist.
