It is a distribution-specific way to manage symlinks to ini files. All it does is to check whether    /etc/php/7.0/mods-available/${extname}.ini exists and if it does link it to    /etc/php/7.0/${sapi}/conf.d/${extname}.ini It doesn't help to find those extensions (which are to be installed via apt) or similar. The split of per-sapi ini scan dir is also Ubuntu-specific. So in that form these scrips are quite useless for vanilla PHP. Where such a mechanism can make sense is in a pecl installer, which currently works by trying to edit the main php.ini file after building the extension. johannes
