<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>
|
|
|
|
<para>Volatile and temporary files and directories are those
|
|
located in <filename>/run</filename> (and its alias
|
|
<filename>/var/run</filename>), <filename>/tmp</filename>,
|
|
<filename>/var/tmp</filename>, the API file systems such as
|
|
<filename>/sys</filename> or <filename>/proc</filename>, as well
|
|
as some other directories below <filename>/var</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>System daemons frequently require private runtime
|
|
directories below <filename>/run</filename> to place communication
|
|
sockets and similar in. For these, consider declaring them in
|
|
their unit files using <varname>RuntimeDirectory=</varname> (see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details), if this is feasible.</para>

|
<title>Configuration Format</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each configuration file shall be named in the style of
|
|
<filename><replaceable>package</replaceable>.conf</filename> or
|
|
<filename><replaceable>package</replaceable>-<replaceable>part</replaceable>.conf</filename>.
|
|
The second variant should be used when it is desirable to make it
|
|
easy to override just this part of configuration.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Files in <filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d</filename> override files
|
|
with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/run/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/run/tmpfiles.d</filename> override files with the same
|
|
name in <filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Packages should
|
|
install their configuration files in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Files in
|
|
<filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d</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 lexicographic
|
|
order, regardless of which of the directories they reside in. If
|
|
multiple files specify the same path, the entry in the file with
|
|
the lexicographically earliest name will be applied. All other
|
|
conflicting entries will be logged as errors. When two lines are
|
|
prefix and suffix of each other, then the prefix is always
|
|
processed first, the suffix later. Lines that take globs are
|
|
applied after those accepting no globs. If multiple operations
|
|
shall be applied on the same file, (such as ACL, xattr, file
|
|
attribute adjustments), these are always done in the same fixed
|
|
order. Otherwise, the files/directories are processed in the order
|
|
they are listed.</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 filename.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The configuration format is one line per path containing
|
|
type, path, mode, ownership, age, and argument fields:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>#Type Path Mode UID GID Age Argument
|
|
d /run/user 0755 root root 10d -
|
|
L /tmp/foobar - - - - /dev/null</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>Fields may be enclosed within quotes and contain C-style escapes.</para>

<listitem><para>Create a subvolume if the path does not

exist yet, the file system supports subvolumes (btrfs), and

the system itself is installed into a subvolume
|
|
(specifically: the root directory <filename>/</filename> is
|
|
itself a subvolume). Otherwise, create a normal directory, in
|
|
the same way as <varname>d</varname>. A subvolume created
|
|
with this line type is not assigned to any higher-level
|
|
quota group. For that, use <varname>q</varname> or
|
|
<varname>Q</varname>, which allow creating simple quota
|
|
group hierarchies, see below.</para></listitem>

</varlistentry>
|
|
|

<varlistentry>
|
|
<term><varname>q</varname></term>
|

<listitem><para>Similar to <varname>v</varname>. However,

makes sure that the subvolume will be assigned to the same

higher-level quota groups as the subvolume it has been

created in. This ensures that higher-level limits and

accounting applied to the parent subvolume also include the
|

specified subvolume. On non-btrfs file systems, this line
|

type is identical to <varname>d</varname>. If the subvolume

|
already exists and is already assigned to one or more higher

|
level quota groups, no change to the quota hierarchy is
|
|
made. Also see <varname>Q</varname> below. See <citerefentry
|
|
project='die-net'><refentrytitle>btrfs-qgroup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>

for details about the btrfs quota group
|
|
concept.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
|
|
<term><varname>Q</varname></term>
|
|
<listitem><para>Similar to <varname>q</varname>. However,
|
|
instead of copying the higher-level quota group assignments
|
|
from the parent as-is, the lowest quota group of the parent
|
|
subvolume is determined that is not the leaf quota
|
|
group. Then, an "intermediary" quota group is inserted that
|
|
is one level below this level, and shares the same ID part
|
|
as the specified subvolume. If no higher-level quota group
|
|
exists for the parent subvolume, a new quota group at level
|
|
255 sharing the same ID as the specified subvolume is
|
|
inserted instead. This new intermediary quota group is then
|
|
assigned to the parent subvolume's higher-level quota
|
|
groups, and the specified subvolume's leaf quota group is
|
|
assigned to it.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Effectively, this has a similar effect as
|
|
<varname>q</varname>, however introduces a new higher-level
|
|
quota group for the specified subvolume that may be used to
|
|
enforce limits and accounting to the specified subvolume and
|
|
children subvolume created within it. Thus, by creating
|
|
subvolumes only via <varname>q</varname> and
|
|
<varname>Q</varname>, a concept of "subtree quotas" is
|
|
implemented. Each subvolume for which <varname>Q</varname>
|
|
is set will get a "subtree" quota group created, and all
|
|
child subvolumes created within it will be assigned to
|
|
it. Each subvolume for which <varname>q</varname> is set
|
|
will not get such a "subtree" quota group, but it is ensured
|
|
that they are added to the same "subtree" quota group as their
|
|
immediate parents.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is recommended to use
|
|
<varname>Q</varname> for subvolumes that typically contain
|
|
further subvolumes, and where it is desirable to have
|
|
accounting and quota limits on all child subvolumes
|
|
together. Examples for <varname>Q</varname> are typically
|
|
<filename>/home</filename> or
|
|
<filename>/var/lib/machines</filename>. In contrast,
|
|
<varname>q</varname> should be used for subvolumes that
|
|
either usually do not include further subvolumes or where no
|
|
accounting and quota limits are needed that apply to all
|
|
child subvolumes together. Examples for <varname>q</varname>
|
|
are typically <filename>/var</filename> or
|
|
<filename>/var/tmp</filename>. As with <varname>Q</varname>,
|
|
<varname>q</varname> has no effect on the quota group
|
|
hierarchy if the subvolume exists and already has at least
|
|
one higher-level quota group assigned.</para></listitem>

<para>If the exclamation mark is used, this line is only safe of
|
|
execute during boot, and can break a running system. Lines
|
|
without the exclamation mark are presumed to be safe to execute
|
|
at any time, e.g. on package upgrades.
|
|
<command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> will execute line with an
|
|
exclamation mark only if option <option>--boot</option> is
|
|
given.</para>

|
<para>For example:
|
|
<programlisting># Make sure these are created by default so that nobody else can

d /tmp/.X11-unix 1777 root root 10d

|
|
# Unlink the X11 lock files

r! /tmp/.X[0-9]*-lock</programlisting>

<title>Mode</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The file access mode to use when creating this file or
|
|
directory. If omitted or when set to <literal>-</literal>, the
|
|
default is used: 0755 for directories, 0644 for all other file
|
|
objects. For <varname>z</varname>, <varname>Z</varname> lines,
|
|
if omitted or when set to <literal>-</literal>, the file access
|
|
mode will not be modified. This parameter is ignored for
|
|
<varname>x</varname>, <varname>r</varname>,
|
|
<varname>R</varname>, <varname>L</varname>, <varname>t</varname>,
|
|
and <varname>a</varname> lines.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Optionally, if prefixed with <literal>~</literal>, the
|
|
access mode is masked based on the already set access bits for
|
|
existing file or directories: if the existing file has all
|
|
executable bits unset, all executable bits are removed from the
|
|
new access mode, too. Similarly, if all read bits are removed
|
|
from the old access mode, they will be removed from the new
|
|
access mode too, and if all write bits are removed, they will be
|
|
removed from the new access mode too. In addition, the
|
|
sticky/SUID/SGID bit is removed unless applied to a
|
|
directory. This functionality is particularly useful in
|
|
conjunction with <varname>Z</varname>.</para>

<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 <literal>-</literal>, the
|
|
default 0 (root) is used. For <varname>z</varname> and
|
|
<varname>Z</varname> lines, when omitted or when set to
|
|
<literal>-</literal>, the file ownership will not be
|
|
modified. These parameters are ignored for <varname>x</varname>,
|
|
<varname>r</varname>, <varname>R</varname>,

<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 suffixes for the respective time units:
|
|
<constant>s</constant>,
|
|
<constant>m</constant> or <constant>min</constant>,
|
|
<constant>h</constant>,
|
|
<constant>d</constant>,
|
|
<constant>w</constant>,
|
|
<constant>ms</constant>, and
|
|
<constant>us</constant>,
|
|
meaning seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks,
|
|
milliseconds, and microseconds, respectively. Full names of the time units can
|
|
be used too.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If multiple integers and units are specified, the time
|
|
values are summed. If an integer is given without a unit,
|
|
<constant>s</constant> is assumed.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When the age is set to zero, the files are cleaned
|
|
unconditionally.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The age field only applies to lines starting with
|
|
<varname>d</varname>, <varname>D</varname>, <varname>e</varname>,
|
|
<varname>v</varname>, <varname>q</varname>,
|
|
<varname>Q</varname>, <varname>C</varname>, <varname>x</varname>
|
|
and <varname>X</varname>. If omitted or set to
|
|
<literal>-</literal>, no automatic clean-up is done.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the age field starts with a tilde character
|
|
<literal>~</literal>, the clean-up is only applied to files and
|
|
directories one level inside the directory specified, but not
|
|
the files and directories immediately inside it.</para>

|
<varname>w</varname>, the argument may be used to specify a short string that
|
|
is written to the file, suffixed by a newline. For

<varname>C</varname>, specifies the source file or
|
|
directory. For <varname>t</varname> and <varname>T</varname>,
|
|
determines extended attributes to be set. For
