    <title>Description</title>

    <para>A plain ini-style text file that encodes configuration for matching network devices, used by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> and in
    particular its <command>net_setup_link</command> builtin. See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.syntax</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for a
    general description of the syntax.</para>

    <para>The <filename>.link</filename> files are read from the files located in the system network
    directory <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename> and
    <filename>/usr/local/lib/systemd/network</filename>, the volatile runtime network directory
    <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename>, and the local administration network directory
    <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>. All configuration files are collectively sorted and
    processed in alphanumeric order, regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files
    with identical filenames replace each other. It is recommended that each filename is prefixed with
    a number (e.g. <filename>10-eth0.link</filename>). Otherwise, the default
    <filename>.link</filename> files or those generated by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-network-generator.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    may take precedence over user configured files. Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> have the
    highest priority, files in <filename>/run/</filename> take precedence over files with the same name
    in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. This can be used to override a system-supplied link file with a
    local file if needed. As a special case, an empty file (file size 0) or symlink with the same name
    pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename> disables the configuration file entirely (it is
    "masked").</para>

    <para>Along with the link file <filename>foo.link</filename>, a "drop-in" directory
    <filename>foo.link.d/</filename> may exist. All files with the suffix <literal>.conf</literal>
    from this directory will be merged in the alphanumeric order and parsed after the main file itself
    has been parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration settings, without having to modify
    the main configuration file. Each drop-in file must have appropriate section headers.</para>

    <para>In addition to <filename>/etc/systemd/network</filename>, drop-in <literal>.d</literal>
    directories can be placed in <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/network</filename> or
    <filename>/run/systemd/network</filename> directories. Drop-in files in <filename>/etc/</filename>
    take precedence over those in <filename>/run/</filename> which in turn take precedence over those
    in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Drop-in files under any of these directories take precedence
    over the main link file wherever located.</para>

    <para>The link file contains a [Match] section, which determines if a given link file may be applied to a
    given device, as well as a [Link] section specifying how the device should be configured. The first (in
    lexical order) of the link files that matches a given device is applied. Note that a default file
    <filename>99-default.link</filename> is shipped by the system. Any user-supplied
    <filename>.link</filename> should hence have a lexically earlier name to be considered at all.</para>

    <para>See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>udevadm</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
    diagnosing problems with <filename>.link</filename> files.</para>

    <title>[Match] Section Options</title>

    <para>A link file is said to match an interface if all matches specified by the [Match] section are
    satisfied. When a link file does not contain valid settings in [Match] section, then the file will
    match all interfaces and <command>systemd-udevd</command> warns about that. Hint: to avoid the
    warning and to make it clear that all interfaces shall be matched, add the following:
    <programlisting>OriginalName=*</programlisting>
    The first (in alphanumeric order) of the link files that matches a given interface is applied, all
    later files are ignored, even if they match as well. The following keys are accepted:</para>

    <variablelist class='network-directives'>
      <!-- This list is reused in systemd.network(3), hence maintain a specific order:
           1. device matches shared between the two lists
           2. non-shared settings
           3. host matches shared between the two lists

          <para>Note that specifying a name that the kernel might use for another
          interface (for example <literal>eth0</literal>) is dangerous because the
          name assignment done by udev will race with the assignment done by the
          kernel, and only one interface may use the name. Depending on the order of
          operations, either udev or the kernel will win, making the naming
          unpredictable. It is best to use some different prefix, for example
          <literal>internal0</literal>/<literal>external0</literal> or
