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...]

   systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service

   systemd-tmpfiles-setup-dev.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.

   --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.

   -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, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
