NAME

       interface-order - resolvconf configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       The  file  /etc/resolvconf/interface-order  is  used  to control the order in which resolvconf nameserver
       information records are processed by those resolvconf update scripts that consult this file.   (The  name
       of  the  file is apt because a resolvconf nameserver information record is named after the interface with
       which it is associated.)

       The file contains a sequence of shell glob patterns, one per line.  The position of a record in the order
       is the point at which its name first matches a pattern.

       Patterns may not contain whitespace, slashes or initial dots or tildes.  Blank lines and lines  beginning
       with a '#' are ignored.

       Resolvconf update scripts in /etc/resolvconf/update.d/ that consult this file include the current default
       versions  of dnsmasq, pdnsd and libc.  (Actually they don't read the file directly; they call the utility
       program /lib/resolvconf/list-records which lists records in the specified order and omits  the  names  of
       empty records.)

EXAMPLE

       # /etc/resolvconf/interface-order
       # Use nameservers on the loopback interface first.
       lo*
       # Next use records for Ethernet interfaces
       eth*
       # Next use records for Wi-Fi interfaces
       wlan*
       # Next use records for PPP interfaces
       ppp*
       # Last use other interfaces
       *
