</citerefentry>.</para>
<para>If invoked with no arguments, it applies all
directives from all configuration files. If one or
more file names 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>
