+=head1 NAME
+
+/etc/default/rabbitmq - default settings for RabbitMQ AMQP server
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+/etc/default/rabbitmq contains variable settings that override the
+defaults built in to the RabbitMQ startup scripts.
+
+The file is interpreted by the system shell, and so should consist of
+a sequence of shell environment variable definitions. Normal shell
+syntax is permitted (since the file is sourced using the shell "."
+operator), including line comments starting with "#".
+
+In order of preference, the startup scripts get their values from the
+environment, from /etc/default/rabbitmq, and finally from the built-in
+default values. For example, for the B<RABBITMQ_NODENAME> setting,
+
+B<RABBITMQ_NODENAME>
+    from the environment is checked first. If it is absent or equal
+    to the empty string, then 
+
+B<NODENAME>
+    from /etc/default/rabbitmq is checked next. If it is also absent
+    or set equal to the empty string, then the default value from the
+    startup script is used.
+
+The variable names in /etc/default/rabbitmq are always equal to the
+environment variable names, with the B<RABBITMQ_> prefix removed:
+B<RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT> from the environment becomes B<NODE_PORT> in the
+/etc/default/rabbitmq file, etc.
