The xdg-runtime-dir service

+ This service dynamically creates the directory + specified in the environment variable + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. +

+ Starting this service creates the directory + and sets the proper permissions, + stopping it deletes it. +

+ It is recommended to set + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR + to the + @USER@/@USERTREE@/xdg-runtime-dir + subdirectory of the + user runtime directory. + This allows to follow the + XDG Base Directory Specification. +

+ If more than one + user supervision tree + per user is used to have multiple + sessions + with a distinct UI server, audio server, etc. + It makes sense for each session to have its own, + distinct xdg-runtime-dir, + since it is often used for sockets and temporary files + of said UI server, audio server, etc. + Setting + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR + as described above, allows for this. + Note, however, that this deviates from the + XDG Base Directory Specification. +

+ All user services writing to or reading from + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR + should depend on this service. +
