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

NAME

       systemd-tmpfiles, systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service, systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service, systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service, systemd-tmpfiles-
       clean.timer - Creates, deletes and cleans up volatile and temporary files and directories

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-tmpfiles [OPTIONS...] [CONFIGFILE...]

       System units:

       systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
       systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.service
       systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service
       systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer

       User units:

       systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
       systemd-tmpfiles-clean.service
       systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-tmpfiles creates, deletes, and cleans up volatile and temporary files and directories, based on the configuration file format and
       location specified in tmpfiles.d(5).

       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 "-" 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 tmpfiles.d(5) are searched
       for a matching file.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       --create
           If this option is passed, all files and directories marked with f, F, w, d, D, v, p, L, c, b, m in the configuration files are created
           or written to. Files and directories marked with z, Z, t, T, a, and A 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, the contents of directories marked with D or R, and files or directories themselves marked with r or R are
           removed.

       --user
           Execute "user" configuration, i.e.  tmpfiles.d files in user configuration directories.

       --boot
           Also execute lines with an exclamation mark.

       --prefix=path
           Only apply rules with paths that start with the specified prefix. This option can be specified multiple times.

       --exclude-prefix=path
           Ignore rules with paths that start with the specified prefix. This option can be specified multiple times.

       --root=root
           Takes a directory path as an argument. All paths will be prefixed with the given alternate root path, including config search paths.

           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.

       -h, --help
           Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
           Print a short version string and exit.

       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

UNPRIVILEGED --CLEANUP OPERATION
       systemd-tmpfiles tries to avoid changing the access and modification times on the directories it accesses, which requires CAP_ADMIN
       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.

EXIT STATUS

       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, 65 is returned (EX_DATAERR from /usr/include/sysexits.h). Otherwise, 1 is returned (EXIT_FAILURE from
       /usr/include/stdlib.h).
