those located in <code class="filename">/run</code> (and its
alias <code class="filename">/var/run</code>),
<code class="filename">/tmp</code>,
<code class="filename">/var/tmp</code>, the API file systems
such as <code class="filename">/sys</code> or
<code class="filename">/proc</code>, as well as some other
directories below <code class="filename">/var</code>.</p><p>System daemons frequently require private
runtime directories below <code class="filename">/run</code> to
place communication sockets and similar in. For these,
consider declaring them in their unit files using
<code class="varname">RuntimeDirectory=</code>
(see <a href="systemd.exec.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">systemd.exec</span>(5)</span></a> for details),

style of
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>package</code></em>.conf</code>
or
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>package</code></em>-<em class="replaceable"><code>part</code></em>.conf</code>.
The second variant should be used when it is desirable
to make it easy to override just this part of
configuration.</p><p>Files in <code class="filename">/etc/tmpfiles.d</code>
override files with the same name in
<code class="filename">/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</code> and
<code class="filename">/run/tmpfiles.d</code>. Files in
<code class="filename">/run/tmpfiles.d</code> override files
with the same name in
<code class="filename">/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</code>. Packages
should install their configuration files in
<code class="filename">/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d</code>. Files in
<code class="filename">/etc/tmpfiles.d</code> are reserved for
the local administrator, who may use this logic to
override the configuration files installed by vendor
packages. All configuration files are sorted by their
filename in lexicographic order, regardless of which
of the directories they reside in. If multiple files
specify the same path, the entry in the file with the
lexicographically earliest name will be applied, all
all other conflicting entries will be logged as
errors. When two lines are prefix and suffix of each
other, then the prefix is always processed first, the
suffix later. Otherwise, the files/directories are
processed in the order they are listed.</p><p>If the administrator wants to disable a
configuration file supplied by the vendor, the
recommended way is to place a symlink to
<code class="filename">/dev/null</code> in
<code class="filename">/etc/tmpfiles.d/</code> bearing the
same filename.</p><p>The configuration format is one line per path
containing type, path, mode, ownership, age, and argument
