55 | <title>Description</title> | |
56 | ||
57 | <para><command>systemd-tmpfiles</command> uses the configuration | |
58 | files from the above directories to describe the creation, | |
59 | cleaning and removal of volatile and temporary files and | |
60 | directories which usually reside in directories such as | |
61 | <filename>/run</filename> or <filename>/tmp</filename>.</para> | |
62 | ||
63 | <para>Volatile and temporary files and directories are those | |
64 | located in <filename>/run</filename> (and its alias | |
65 | <filename>/var/run</filename>), <filename>/tmp</filename>, | |
66 | <filename>/var/tmp</filename>, the API file systems such as | |
67 | <filename>/sys</filename> or <filename>/proc</filename>, as well | |
68 | as some other directories below <filename>/var</filename>.</para> | |
69 | ||
70 | <para>System daemons frequently require private runtime | |
71 | directories below <filename>/run</filename> to place communication | |
72 | sockets and similar in. For these, consider declaring them in | |
73 | their unit files using <varname>RuntimeDirectory=</varname> (see | |
74 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
75 | for details), if this is feasible.</para> | |
76 | </refsect1> | |
77 | ||
78 | <refsect1> | |
79 | <title>Configuration Format</title> | |
80 | ||
81 | <para>Each configuration file shall be named in the style of | |
82 | <filename><replaceable>package</replaceable>.conf</filename> or | |
83 | <filename><replaceable>package</replaceable>-<replaceable>part</replaceable>.conf</filename>. | |
84 | The second variant should be used when it is desirable to make it | |
85 | easy to override just this part of configuration.</para> | |
86 | ||
87 | <para>Files in <filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d</filename> override files | |
88 | with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename> and | |
89 | <filename>/run/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Files in | |
90 | <filename>/run/tmpfiles.d</filename> override files with the same | |
91 | name in <filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Packages should | |
92 | install their configuration files in | |
93 | <filename>/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</filename>. Files in | |
94 | <filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d</filename> are reserved for the local | |
95 | administrator, who may use this logic to override the | |
96 | configuration files installed by vendor packages. All | |
97 | configuration files are sorted by their filename in lexicographic | |
98 | order, regardless of which of the directories they reside in. If | |
99 | multiple files specify the same path, the entry in the file with | |
100 | the lexicographically earliest name will be applied. All other | |
101 | conflicting entries will be logged as errors. When two lines are | |
102 | prefix and suffix of each other, then the prefix is always | |
6d785b6d LP |
103 | processed first, the suffix later. Lines that take globs are |
104 | applied after those accepting no globs. If multiple operations | |
b938cb90 JE |
105 | shall be applied on the same file, (such as ACL, xattr, file |
106 | attribute adjustments), these are always done in the same fixed | |
6d785b6d LP |
107 | order. Otherwise, the files/directories are processed in the order |
108 | they are listed.</para> | |
302fbdf2 ZJS |
109 | |
110 | <para>If the administrator wants to disable a configuration file | |
111 | supplied by the vendor, the recommended way is to place a symlink | |
112 | to <filename>/dev/null</filename> in | |
113 | <filename>/etc/tmpfiles.d/</filename> bearing the same filename. | |
114 | </para> | |
115 | ||
116 | <para>The configuration format is one line per path containing | |
117 | type, path, mode, ownership, age, and argument fields:</para> | |
118 | ||
119 | <programlisting>#Type Path Mode UID GID Age Argument | |
120 | d /run/user 0755 root root 10d - | |

2904e949 LP |
182 | exist yet, the file system supports subvolumes (btrfs), and |
183 | the system itself is installed into a subvolume | |
184 | (specifically: the root directory <filename>/</filename> is | |
185 | itself a subvolume). Otherwise, create a normal directory, in | |
186 | the same way as <varname>d</varname>. A subvolume created | |
187 | with this line type is not assigned to any higher-level | |
188 | quota group. For that, use <varname>q</varname> or | |
189 | <varname>Q</varname>, which allow creating simple quota | |
190 | group hierarchies, see below.</para></listitem> | |

b938cb90 | 195 | <listitem><para>Similar to <varname>v</varname>. However, |
5fb13eb5 LP |
196 | makes sure that the subvolume will be assigned to the same |
197 | higher-level quota groups as the subvolume it has been | |
198 | created in. This ensures that higher-level limits and | |
199 | accounting applied to the parent subvolume also include the | |
200 | specified subvolume. On non-btrfs file systems, this line | |
201 | type is identical to <varname>d</varname>. If the subvolume | |
202 | already exists and is already assigned to one or more higher | |
b938cb90 | 203 | level quota groups, no change to the quota hierarchy is |
5fb13eb5 LP |
204 | made. Also see <varname>Q</varname> below. See <citerefentry |
205 | project='die-net'><refentrytitle>btrfs-qgroup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
206 | for details about the btrfs quota group | |
207 | concept.</para></listitem> | |

211 | <term><varname>Q</varname></term> | |
b938cb90 | 212 | <listitem><para>Similar to <varname>q</varname>. However, |
5fb13eb5 LP |
213 | instead of copying the higher-level quota group assignments |
214 | from the parent as-is, the lowest quota group of the parent | |
215 | subvolume is determined that is not the leaf quota | |
216 | group. Then, an "intermediary" quota group is inserted that | |
217 | is one level below this level, and shares the same ID part | |
218 | as the specified subvolume. If no higher-level quota group | |
219 | exists for the parent subvolume, a new quota group at level | |
220 | 255 sharing the same ID as the specified subvolume is | |
221 | inserted instead. This new intermediary quota group is then | |
222 | assigned to the parent subvolume's higher-level quota | |
223 | groups, and the specified subvolume's leaf quota group is | |
224 | assigned to it.</para> | |
225 | ||
226 | <para>Effectively, this has a similar effect as | |
227 | <varname>q</varname>, however introduces a new higher-level | |
228 | quota group for the specified subvolume that may be used to | |
229 | enforce limits and accounting to the specified subvolume and | |
230 | children subvolume created within it. Thus, by creating | |
231 | subvolumes only via <varname>q</varname> and | |
b938cb90 | 232 | <varname>Q</varname>, a concept of "subtree quotas" is |
5fb13eb5 LP |
233 | implemented. Each subvolume for which <varname>Q</varname> |
234 | is set will get a "subtree" quota group created, and all | |
235 | child subvolumes created within it will be assigned to | |
236 | it. Each subvolume for which <varname>q</varname> is set | |
237 | will not get such a "subtree" quota group, but it is ensured | |
238 | that they are added to the same "subtree" quota group as their | |
239 | immediate parents.</para> | |
240 | ||
241 | <para>It is recommended to use | |
242 | <varname>Q</varname> for subvolumes that typically contain | |
243 | further subvolumes, and where it is desirable to have | |
244 | accounting and quota limits on all child subvolumes | |
245 | together. Examples for <varname>Q</varname> are typically | |
246 | <filename>/home</filename> or | |
247 | <filename>/var/lib/machines</filename>. In contrast, | |
248 | <varname>q</varname> should be used for subvolumes that | |
249 | either usually do not include further subvolumes or where no | |
250 | accounting and quota limits are needed that apply to all | |
251 | child subvolumes together. Examples for <varname>q</varname> | |
252 | are typically <filename>/var</filename> or | |
253 | <filename>/var/tmp</filename>. As with <varname>Q</varname>, | |
254 | <varname>q</varname> has no effect on the quota group | |
255 | hierarchy if the subvolume exists and already has at least | |
256 | one higher-level quota group assigned.</para></listitem> | |

524 | <para>The file access mode to use when creating this file or | |

526 | default is used: 0755 for directories, 0644 for all other file | |
527 | objects. For <varname>z</varname>, <varname>Z</varname> lines, | |
528 | if omitted or when set to <literal>-</literal>, the file access | |

302fbdf2 ZJS |
533 | |
534 | <para>Optionally, if prefixed with <literal>~</literal>, the | |
535 | access mode is masked based on the already set access bits for | |
536 | existing file or directories: if the existing file has all | |
537 | executable bits unset, all executable bits are removed from the | |
538 | new access mode, too. Similarly, if all read bits are removed | |
539 | from the old access mode, they will be removed from the new | |
540 | access mode too, and if all write bits are removed, they will be | |
541 | removed from the new access mode too. In addition, the | |
542 | sticky/SUID/SGID bit is removed unless applied to a | |
543 | directory. This functionality is particularly useful in | |
