NAME

       iwd - Configuration file for wireless daemon

SYNOPSIS

       Configuration file main.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The  main.conf  configuration file configures the system-wide settings for iwd.  This file
       lives  in  the   configuration   directory   specified   by   the   environment   variable
       $CONFIGURATION_DIRECTORY,  which  is normally provided by systemd.  In the absence of such
       an environment variable it defaults to /etc/iwd.  If no main.conf is present, then default
       values are chosen.  The presence of main.conf is not required.

FILE FORMAT

       See iwd.network for details on the file format.

SETTINGS

       The settings are split into several categories.  Each category has a group associated with
       it and described in separate tables below.

   General Settings
       The group [General] contains general settings.
