154 | that is bound to the user login time on the machine. It is | |
155 | automatically created the first time a user logs in and | |

157 | the same time, both sessions will see the same | |
158 | <varname>$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR</varname> and the same contents. If | |
159 | a user logs in once, then logs out again, and logs in again, | |
160 | the directory contents will have been lost in between, but | |
161 | applications should not rely on this behavior and must be able | |
162 | to deal with stale files. To store session-private data in | |
163 | this directory, the user should include the value of | |
164 | <varname>$XDG_SESSION_ID</varname> in the filename. This | |
165 | directory shall be used for runtime file system objects such | |
166 | as <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> sockets, FIFOs, PID files and | |
167 | similar. It is guaranteed that this directory is local and | |

241 | ||
242 | <para>PAM modules earlier in the stack, that is those that come before <command>pam_systemd.so</command>, | |
243 | can set session scope limits using the PAM context objects. The data for these objects is provided as NUL-terminated C strings | |
244 | and maps directly to the respective unit resource control directives. Note that these limits apply to individual sessions of the user, | |
245 | they do not apply to all user processes as a combined whole. In particular, the per-user <command>user@.service</command> unit instance, | |
246 | which runs the <command>systemd --user</command> manager process and its children, and is tracked outside of any session, being shared | |
247 | by all the user's sessions, is not covered by these limits. | |
