SYNOPSIS
========
/etc/iwd/main.conf
**main.conf**
DESCRIPTION
===========
The /etc/iwd/main.conf file configures the system-wide settings for iwd(8).
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.
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.

* - enable_network_config
- Values: true, false (default)
Enable network configuration.
Setting this option to *true* enables **iwd** to configure the network
interfaces with the IP addresses. There are two types IP addressing
supported by **iwd**: static and dynamic. The static IP addresses are
configured through the network configuration files. If no static IP
configuration has been provided for a network, iwd will attempt to
obtain the dynamic addresses from the network through the built-in
DHCP client.
The network configuration feature is disabled by default.
* - dns_resolve_method
- Values: resolvconf, systemd (default)
Indicate a DNS resolution method used by the system.
This configuration option must be used in conjunction with
``enable_network_config`` and provides the choice of system resolver
integration.
If not specified, ``systemd`` is used as default.
