- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> creates, deletes, and
- cleans up volatile and temporary files and directories, based on
- the configuration file format and location specified in
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>tmpfiles.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
- </para>
-
- <para>If invoked with no arguments, it applies all directives from
- all configuration files. If one or more filenames are passed on
- the command line, only the directives in these files are applied.
- If only the basename of a configuration file is specified, all
- configuration directories as specified in
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>tmpfiles.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- are searched for a matching file.</para>

-
- <para>It is possible to combine <option>--create</option>,
- <option>--clean</option>, and <option>--remove</option> in one
- invocation. For example, during boot the following command line is
- executed to ensure that all temporary and volatile directories are
- removed and created according to the configuration file:</para>
-
- <programlisting>systemd-tmpfiles --remove --create</programlisting>

- <title>Unprivileged --cleanup operation</title>
-
- <para><command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> tries to avoid changing
- the access and modification times on the directories it accesses,
- which requires <constant>CAP_ADMIN</constant> privileges. When
- running as non-root, directories which are checked for files to
- clean up will have their access time bumped, which might prevent
- their cleanup.

- <para>On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code
