The
.Nm rc.d
directories contain scripts which will be automatically
executed at boot and shutdown time.
The specified directories are processed immediately after
.Nm rc.local
is executed.

Any other files or directories present within the directory are silently
ignored.
.It
When a script is executed at boot time, it is passed the string
.Dq start
as its first and only argument.
All
.Nm rc.d
scripts expected to handle this argument appropriately.
.It
When a script is executed at shutdown time, it is passed the string
.Dq stop
as its first and only argument.
All
.Nm rc.d
scripts expected to handle this argument appropriately.
.It
The scripts within each directory are executed in lexicographical order.
If a specific order is required,
numbers may be used as a prefix to the existing filenames,
