SYNOPSIS

       systemd-tmpfiles [OPTIONS...] [CONFIGURATION FILE...]

       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 file names 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, d, D in the
           configuration files are created. Files and directories marked with z, Z 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 all files and directories marked with r, R in the
           configuration files are removed.

       --prefix=PATH
           Only apply rules that apply to paths with the specified prefix.

       --help
           Prints a short help text and exits.

       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

EXIT STATUS

       On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
