binfmt.d — Configure additional binary formats for executables at boot
/etc/binfmt.d/*.conf
/run/binfmt.d/*.conf
/usr/lib/binfmt.d/*.conf
At boot, systemd-binfmt.service(8) reads configuration files from the above directories to register in the kernel additional binary formats for executables.
Each file contains a list of binfmt_misc kernel binary format rules. Consult the kernel's binfmt-misc.rst documentation file for more information on registration of additional binary formats and how to write rules.
Empty lines and lines beginning with ; and # are ignored. Note that this means you may not use ; and # as delimiter in binary format rules.
Configuration files are read from directories in
/etc/, /run/, and
/usr/lib/, in order of precedence.
Each configuration file in these configuration directories shall be named in
the style of filename.conf/etc/ override files with the same name in
/run/ and /usr/lib/. Files in
/run/ override files with the same name in
/usr/lib/.
Packages should install their configuration files in
/usr/lib/. Files in /etc/ 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 lexicographic order, regardless of which of
the directories they reside in. If multiple files specify the same option,
the entry in the file with the lexicographically latest name will take
precedence. It is recommended to prefix all filenames with a two-digit number
and a dash, to simplify the ordering of the files.
If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file supplied by
the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink to
/dev/null in the configuration directory in
/etc/, with the same filename as the vendor
configuration file. If the vendor configuration file is included in
the initrd image, the image has to be regenerated.
Example 1. /etc/binfmt.d/wine.conf example:
# Start WINE on Windows executables :DOSWin:M::MZ::/usr/bin/wine:
