<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 shall be named in the
|
|
style of
|
|
<filename><replaceable>package</replaceable>.conf</filename>
|
|
or
|
|
<filename><replaceable>package</replaceable>-<replaceable>part</replaceable>.conf</filename>.
|
|
The second variant should be used when it is desirable
|
|
to make it easy to override just this part of
|
|
configuration.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Files in <filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d</filename>
|
|
override files with the same name in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/run/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/run/tmpfiles.d</filename> override files
|
|
with the same name in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Packages
|
|
should install their configuration files in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d</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 lexicographic order, regardless of which
|
|
of the directories they reside in. If multiple files
|
|
specify the same path, the entry in the file with the
|
|
lexicographically earliest name will be applied, all
|
|
all other conflicting entries logged as errors.</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 filename.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration format is one line per path
|
|
containing type, path, mode, ownership, age, and argument
|
|
fields:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#Type Path Mode UID GID Age Argument
|
|
