 * non-essential runtime files and other file objects (such as
 * sockets, named pipes, ...) should be stored. The directory @b must
 * be owned by the user, and he @b must be the only one having read
 * and write access to it. Its Unix access mode @b must be 0700.
 *
 * The lifetime of this directory @b must be bound to the user being
 * logged in. It @b must be created when the user first logs in and if
 * the user fully logs out the directory @b must be removed. If the
 * user logs in more than once he should get pointed to the same
 * directory, and it is mandatory that the directory continues to
 * exist from his first login to his last logout on the system, and
 * not removed in between. Files in the directory @b must not survive
 * reboot or a full logout/login cycle.
 *
 * The directory @b must be on a local file system and not shared with
 * any other system. The directory @b must by fully-featured by the
 * standards of the operating system. More specifically, on Unix-like
 * operating systems AF_UNIX sockets, symbolic links, hard links,
 * proper permissions, file locking, sparse files, memory mapping,
 * file change notifications, a reliable hard link count must be
 * supported, and no restrictions on the file name character set
 * should be imposed. Files in this directory @b may be subjected to
 * periodic clean-up. To ensure that your files are not removed, they
 * should have their access time timestamp modified at least once
 * every 6 hours of monotonic time or the 'sticky' bit should be set
 * on the file.
 *
 * If @c NULL applications should fall back to a replacement directory
 * with similar capabilities and print a warning message. Applications
 * should use this directory for communication and synchronization
 * purposes and should not place larger files in it, since it might
 * reside in runtime memory and cannot necessarily be swapped out to
 * disk.
 *
 * @note this directory is similar to @c /run and is often created in
 * tmpfs (memory-only/RAM filesystem). It is created, managed and
 * cleaned automatically by systemd.
