An explicit --user switch is necessary because for the user@0.service instance systemd-tmpfiles is running as root, and we need to distinguish that from systemd-tmpfiles running in systemd-tmpfiles*.service. Fixes #2208. v2: - restore "systemd-" prefix - add systemd-tmpfiles-clean.{service,timer}, systemd-setup.service to systemd-tmpfiles(8)

<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. 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>

<para>It is possible to combine <option>--create</option>,

<option>--clean</option>, and <option>--remove</option> in one

invocation. 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>

<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_ADMIN</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 invalid (invalid syntax, 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>). Otherwise, <constant>1</constant> is returned

(<constant>EXIT_FAILURE</constant> from <filename>/usr/include/stdlib.h</filename>).
