Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 3a54a15760 man: use same header for all files
The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this
is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere.

$ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n  "http^gms' man/*.xml

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> creates, deletes, and
cleans up volatile and temporary files and directories, based on
the configuration file format and location specified in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>tmpfiles.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>If invoked with no arguments, it applies all directives from all configuration
files. When invoked with <option>--replace=<replaceable>PATH</replaceable></option>,
arguments specified on the command line are used instead of the configuration file
<replaceable>PATH</replaceable>. Otherwise, if one or more absolute filenames are
passed on the command line, only the directives in these files are applied. If
<literal>-</literal> is specified instead 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 and the file found that has the highest priority is
executed.</para>

<title>Options</title>
<para>The following options are understood:</para>

removed.</para></listitem>

</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--prefix=<replaceable>path</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Only apply rules with paths that start with
the specified prefix. This option can be specified multiple
times.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--exclude-prefix=<replaceable>path</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Ignore rules with paths that start with the

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--root=<replaceable>root</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a directory path as an argument. All paths will be prefixed with the given alternate
<replaceable>root</replaceable> path, including config search paths.</para>
<para>Note that this option does not alter how the users and groups specified in the configuration files are
resolved. With or without this option, users and groups are always resolved according to the host's user and
group databases, any such databases stored under the specified root directories are not
consulted.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--replace=<replaceable>PATH</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem><para>When this option is given, one ore more positional arguments
must be specified. All configuration files found in the directories listed in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>tmpfiles.d</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
will be read, and the configuration given on the command line will be
handled instead of and with the same priority as the configuration file
<replaceable>PATH</replaceable>.</para>
<para>This option is intended to be used when package installation scripts
are running and files belonging to that package are not yet available on
disk, so their contents must be given on the command line, but the admin
configuration might already exist and should be given higher priority.

<para>It is possible to combine <option>--create</option>, <option>--clean</option>, and <option>--remove</option>
in one invocation (in which case removal and clean-up are executed before creation of new files). For example,
during boot the following command line is executed to ensure that all temporary and volatile directories are
removed and created according to the configuration file:</para>
<programlisting>systemd-tmpfiles --remove --create</programlisting>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<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_FOWNER</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.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Exit status</title>
<para>On success, 0 is returned. If the configuration was syntactically invalid (syntax errors,
missing arguments, …), so some lines had to be ignored, but no other errors occurred,
<constant>65</constant> is returned (<constant>EX_DATAERR</constant> from
<filename>/usr/include/sysexits.h</filename>). If the configuration was syntactically valid, but
could not be executed (lack of permissions, creation of files in missing directories, invalid
contents when writing to <filename>/sys/</filename> values, …), <constant>73</constant> is
returned (<constant>EX_CANTCREAT</constant> from <filename>/usr/include/sysexits.h</filename>).
Otherwise, <constant>1</constant> is returned (<constant>EXIT_FAILURE</constant> from
<filename>/usr/include/stdlib.h</filename>).
