<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> 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 <filename>/run</filename>
or <filename>/tmp</filename>.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Configuration Format</title>
<para>Each configuration file is named in the style of
<filename><program>.conf</filename>.
Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> overwrite
files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>.
Files in <filename>/run</filename> overwrite files with
the same name in <filename>/etc/</filename> and
<filename>/usr/lib/</filename>. Packages should install their
configuration files in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>, files
in <filename>/etc/</filename> 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.</para>
<para>The configuration format is one line per path
containing action, mode, ownership and age
fields:</para>

<refsect2>
<title>Mode</title>
<para>The file access mode to use when
creating this file or directory. If omitted or
when set to - the default is used: 0755 for
directories, 0644 for files. For Z lines
if omitted or when set to - the file access mode will
not be modified. This parameter is ignored for x, r, R
lines.</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2>
<title>UID, GID</title>
<para>The user and group to use for this file
or directory. This may either be a numeric
user/group ID or a user or group name. If
omitted or when set to - the default 0 (root)
is used. For Z lines when omitted or when set to -
the file ownership will not be modified.
These parameters are ignored for x, r, R lines.</para>
</refsect2>
<refsect2>
<title>Age</title>
<para>The date field, when set, is used to
decide what files to delete when cleaning. If
a file or directory is older than the current
time minus the age field it is deleted. The
field format is a series of integers each
followed by one of the following
postfixes for the respective time units:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>s</varname></term>
<term><varname>min</varname></term>
<term><varname>h</varname></term>
<term><varname>d</varname></term>
<term><varname>w</varname></term>
<term><varname>ms</varname></term>
<term><varname>m</varname></term>
<term><varname>us</varname></term></varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>If multiple integers and units are specified the time
values are summed up.</para>
<para>The age field only applies to lines starting with
d, D and x. If omitted or set to - no automatic clean-up
is done.</para>
</refsect2>
