How are backpacking quotas per trailhead in US national parks determined?

Trailheads at some national parks like Yosemite or some wilderness areas will have quotas, with a certain number of permits per trailhead available per day.

Usually, the permits are split between those that can be reserved in advance and those that are available at the ranger stations for people to walk in and get the day they leave.
