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

<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

|
|
<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>

<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>

<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.

<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>).
