Description
- systemd uses
- /etc/tmpfiles.d/ to describe the
- creation, cleaning and removal of temporary files and
- directories which usually reside in
- /var/run or
- /tmp). Each configuration file
- is named in the style of
- /etc/tmpfiles.d/<program>.conf
+ systemd-tmpfiles 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 /run
+ or /tmp.
Configuration Format
+ Each configuration file is named in the style of
+ <program>.conf.
+ Files in /etc/ overwrite
+ files with the same name in /usr/lib/.
+ Files in /run overwrite files with
+ the same name in /etc/ and
+ /usr/lib/. Packages should install their
+ configuration files in /usr/lib/, files
+ in /etc/ 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.
+
The configuration format is one line per path
containing action, mode, ownership and age
fields:
- type path mode uid gid age
-d /var/run/user 0755 root root 10d
+ Type Path Mode UID GID Age
+d /run/user 0755 root root 10d
