Helps to install application configuration files

sysconftool is a development utility that helps to install application configuration files. sysconftool allows an existing application to be upgraded without losing the older version’s configuration settings.

sysconftool is a script that is used by applications to update configuration files when a new version of the application is installed. sysconftool reads the new application configuration files, reads any older versions of those files that are already installed, then replaces the old versions with the new ones, but preserving any custom changes contained in the old versions.

For more information on sysconftool, and why applications need it, see the installed manual pages sysconftool1 and sysconftool7. With most versions of the man command “man 1 sysconftool” and “man 7 sysconftool”.
