<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> uses the
configuration files from the above directories to describe the
creation, cleaning and removal of volatile and
temporary files and directories which usually reside
in directories such as <filename>/run</filename>
or <filename>/tmp</filename>.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Configuration Format</title>
<para>Each configuration file shall be named in the
style of <filename><program>.conf</filename>.
Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> override files
with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>
and <filename>/run/</filename>. Files in
<filename>/run/</filename> override files with the same
name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages
should install their configuration files in
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Files in
<filename>/etc/</filename> are reserved for the local
administrator, who may use this logic to override the
configuration files installed by vendor packages. All
configuration files are sorted by their filename in
alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
directories they reside, to guarantee that a specific
configuration file takes precedence over another file
with an alphabetically later name.</para>
<para>If the administrator wants to disable a
configuration file supplied by the vendor the
recommended way is to place a symlink to
<filename>/dev/null</filename> in
<filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d/</filename> bearing the
same file name.</para>
<para>The configuration format is one line per path
containing action, path, mode, ownership, age and argument
fields:</para>
<programlisting>Type Path Mode UID GID Age Argument
d /run/user 0755 root root 10d -
L /tmp/foobar - - - - /dev/null</programlisting>

<refsect2>
<title>Mode</title>
<para>The file access mode to use when
creating this file or directory. If omitted or
when set to - the default is used: 0755 for
directories, 0644 for all other file
objects. For z, Z lines if omitted or when set
to - the file access mode will not be
modified. This parameter is ignored for x, r,
R, L lines.</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2>
<title>UID, GID</title>
<para>The user and group to use for this file
or directory. This may either be a numeric
user/group ID or a user or group name. If
omitted or when set to - the default 0 (root)
is used. For z, Z lines when omitted or when set to -
the file ownership will not be modified.
These parameters are ignored for x, r, R, L lines.</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2>
<title>Age</title>
<para>The date field, when set, is used to
decide what files to delete when cleaning. If
a file or directory is older than the current
time minus the age field it is deleted. The
field format is a series of integers each
followed by one of the following
postfixes for the respective time units:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>s</varname></term>
<term><varname>min</varname></term>
<term><varname>h</varname></term>
<term><varname>d</varname></term>
<term><varname>w</varname></term>
<term><varname>ms</varname></term>
<term><varname>m</varname></term>
<term><varname>us</varname></term></varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>If multiple integers and units are specified the time
values are summed up. If an integer is given without a unit,
s is assumed.
</para>
<para>When the age is set to zero, the files are cleaned
unconditionally.</para>
<para>The age field only applies to lines starting with
d, D and x. If omitted or set to - no automatic clean-up
is done.</para>
<para>If the age field starts with a tilde
character (~) the clean-up is only applied to
files and directories one level inside the
directory specified, but not the files and
directories immediately inside it.</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2>
<title>Argument</title>
<para>For L lines determines the destination
path of the symlink. For c, b determines the
major/minor of the device node, with major and
minor formatted as integers, separated by :,
e.g. "1:3". For f, F, w may be used to specify
a short string that is written to the file,
suffixed by a newline. Ignored for all other
lines.</para>
</refsect2>
