Reverts systemd/systemd#38680 After taking a closer look I'm not convinced by the approach, see below. First of all, all other SD_PATH_SEARCH_* are either somewhat generic, i.e. encode the common prefix for configurations, binaries, etc., or are subdirectories under systemd/ hence in our own "domain". The tmpfiles/sysctl/binfmt we don't prefix with "systemd" precisely because the concept is generic and there're actually other impls of them. A specific SD_PATH_SEARCH_SYSCTL doesn't fit into our existing scheme. Instead something along the lines of "SEARCH_SYSTEM_CONFIGURATION" shall be introduced, and consumers will just suffix sysctl.d/tmpfiles.d/binfmt.d for the final result. And secondly, I don't grok why systemd-sysctl now unnecessarily calls into sd-path to obtain the fixed search path. None of our other tools do that. ----------- An alternate approach, SD_PATH_SYSTEM_SEARCH_CONFIGURATION, which does exactly above, will be introduced instead. It provides a universal interface for querying any system config with our idiomatic /etc/:/run/:/usr/local/lib/:/usr/lib/ hierarchy.
