This patch makes it possible to set extended attributes on files created by tmpfiles. This can be especially used to set SMACK security labels on volatile files and directories. It is done by adding new line of type "t". Such line should contain attributes in Argument field, using following format: name=value All other fields are ignored. If value contains spaces, then it must be surrounded by quotation marks. User can also put quotation mark in value by escaping it with backslash. Example: D /var/run/cups - - - - t /var/run/cups - - - - security.SMACK64=printing

<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>
|
|
</refsect1>

|
<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. 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
|
|

<title>Mode</title>

|
|
<para>The file access mode to use when

creating this file or directory. If omitted or

directories, 0644 for all other file objects.

For <varname>z</varname>, <varname>Z</varname>

lines, if omitted or when set to

|

|
|
<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>
