+------------------------------------------------------
+
+This file can be used to adjust the score used to select which processes
+should be killed in an out-of-memory situation. Giving it a high score will
+increase the likelihood of this process being killed by the oom-killer. Valid
+values are in the range -16 to +15, plus the special value -17, which disables
+oom-killing altogether for this process.
