<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>

<title>Configuration Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each configuration file is named in the style of
|
|
<filename><program>.conf</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> overwrite
|
|
files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/run</filename> overwrite files with
|
|
the same name in <filename>/etc/</filename> and
|
|
<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
|
|
administration, which possibly decides to overwrite the
|
|
configurations installed from packages. All files are sorted
|
|
by filename in alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
|
|
directories they reside, to ensure that a specific
|
|
configuration file takes precedence over another file with
|
|
an alphabetically later name.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration format is one line per path
|
|
containing action, mode, ownership and age
|
|
fields:</para>
