systemd-delta

Find overridden configuration files

systemd-delta [OPTIONS...] [SUFFIX...]

systemd-delta may be used to identify and compare configuration files in /etc that override default counterparts in /usr. The command line argument can be one or more name of a subdirectories of /etc or /usr/lib to compare, such as tmpfiles.d, sysctl.d or systemd/system.

When no argument is specified a number of well-known subdirectories are searched for overridden files.

The following options are understood:

-h, --help

Prints a short help text and exits.

--version

Prints a short version string and exits.

--no-pager

Do not pipe output into a pager.

-t, --type=

When listing the differences, only list those that are asked for. The list itself is a comma-separated list of desired difference types.

Recognized types are:

masked

Show masked files

equivalent

Show overridden files that while overridden, do not differ in content.

redirected

Show files that are redirected to another.

overridden

Show overridden, and changed files.

unchanged

Show unmodified files too.

--diff=

When showing modified files, when a file is overridden show a diff as well. This option takes a boolean argument. If omitted it defaults to true.

On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
