This clause is limiting your result set to directories only.

I hope this helps.

systemd-tmpfiles

SYSTEMD-TMPFILES(8)						 systemd-tmpfiles					       SYSTEMD-TMPFILES(8)

NAME

       systemd-tmpfiles - Creates, deletes and cleans up volatile and temporary files and directories.

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-tmpfiles [OPTIONS...] [CONFIGURATION FILE...]

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-tmpfiles creates, deletes and cleans up volatile and temporary files and directories, based on the configuration from
       /etc/tmpfiles.d/. See tmpfiles.d(5) for more details on these files.

       If invoked with no arguments applies all directives from all configuration files in /etc/tmpfiles.d/*.conf. If one or more absolute file
       names are passed on the command line only the directives in these files are applied.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       --create
	   If this option is passed all files and directories marked with f, F, d, D in the configuration files are created. Files and directories
	   marked with z, Z have their ownership, access mode and security labels set.

       --clean
	   If this option is passed all files and directories with an age parameter configured will be cleaned up.

       --remove
	   If this option is passed all files and directories marked with r, R in the configuration files are removed.

       --prefix=PATH
	   Only apply rules that apply to paths with the specified prefix.

       --help
	   Prints a short help text and exits.

       It is possible to combine --create, --clean, and --remove 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:

	   systemd-tmpfiles --remove --create

EXIT STATUS

       On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
