sysctl-formula
==============

This formula ensures that a sysctl parameter is present on the system
based on configuration in pillars.

Values are written to ``/etc/sysctl.d/99-salt.conf`` or ``/etc/sysctl.conf`` for
systemd or sysvinit systems respectively. This can be overriden by explicitly
passing the ``config`` parameter.

.. note::

    See the full `Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions
    <http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/development/conventions/formulas.html>`_.
