-# Configuration set in this file ends up in /var/etc/babeld.conf.
-# Babeld is told to use both /etc/babeld.conf and /var/etc/babeld.conf, so

+# Babeld reads options from the following files (the last one takes precedence
+# if an option is defined in several places):
+# - the file defined by the option conf_file (default: /etc/babeld.conf),
+# - *.conf files in the directory defined by conf_dir (default: /tmp/babel.d/),
+# - this UCI configuration file.
 
 # See "man babeld" for all available options ("Global options").
 # Important: remember to use '_' instead of '-' in option names.
