This resolves problems with filesystems which do not implement the aio_write file operation. In this case, the kernel will fall back using a loop writing technique for each pointer in a received iovec. The result is strange errors in dmesg such as: [ 31.855871] elevator: type not found [ 31.856262] elevator: switch to [ 31.856262] failed It does not make sense to implement a synchronous aio_write method for sysfs as this isn't a real filesystem where a reasonable use case for using writev exists, nor is there an expectation that tmpfiles will be used to write more data than can be reasonably written in a single write syscall. In addition, some sysfs attrs are currently buggy and will NOT reject the second write with the newline, causing the sysfs value to be zeroed out. This of course should be fixed in the kernel regardless of any wrongdoing in userspace, but this simple change makes us immune to such a bug. This change means that we do not write a trailing newline by default, as the expected use case of 'w' is for sysfs and procfs. In exchange, honor C-style backslash escapes so that if the newline is really needed, the user can add it.

<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>

<title>Configuration Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each configuration file shall be named in the
|
|
style of <filename><program>.conf</filename>.
|
|
Files in <filename>/etc/</filename> override files
|
|
with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/</filename>
|
|
and <filename>/run/</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/run/</filename> override files with the same
|
|
name in <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
|
|
administrator, who may use this logic to override the
|
|
configuration files installed by vendor packages. All
|
|
configuration files are sorted by their filename in
|
|
alphabetical order, regardless in which of the
|
|
directories they reside, to guarantee that a specific
|
|
configuration file takes precedence over another file
|
|
with an alphabetically later name.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the administrator wants to disable a
|
|
configuration file supplied by the vendor the
|
|
recommended way is to place a symlink to
|
|
<filename>/dev/null</filename> in
|
|
<filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d/</filename> bearing the
|
|
same file name.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration format is one line per path
|
|
containing action, path, mode, ownership, age and argument
|
|
fields:</para>
