+ of a filename, directives are read from standard input. 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

+ <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.
