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 filenames are passed on the command
       line, only the directives in these files are applied. 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.
