Description
systemd-tmpfiles uses the
- configuration files in
- /etc/tmpfiles.d/ to describe 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 /var/run
- or /tmp. Each configuration file
- is named in the style of
- /etc/tmpfiles.d/<program>.conf.
+ 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:
