+# @BLURB: Functions related to tmpfiles.d files
+# @DESCRIPTION:
+# This eclass provides functionality related to installing and
+# creating volatile and temporary files based on configuration files$and
+# locations defined at this URL:
+#
+# https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/tmpfiles.d.html
+#
+# The dotmpfiles and newtmpfiles functions are used to install
+# configuration files into /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d, then in pkg_postinst,
+# the tmpfiles_process function must be called to process the newly
+# installed tmpfiles.d entries.
+#
+# The tmpfiles.d files can be used by service managers to recreate/clean
+# up temporary directories on boot or periodically. Additionally,
+# the pkg_postinst() call ensures that the directories are created
+# on systems that do not support tmpfiles.d natively, without a need
+# for explicit fallback.
+#
+# @EXAMPLE:
+# Typical usage of this eclass:
+#
+# @CODE
+#	EAPI=6
+#	inherit tmpfiles
+#
+#	...
+#
+#	src_install() {
+#		...
+#		dotmpfiles "${FILESDIR}"/file1.conf "${FILESDIR}"/file2.conf
+#		newtmpfiles "${FILESDIR}"/file3.conf-${PV} file3.conf
+#		...
+#	}
+#
+#	pkg_postinst() {
+#		...
+#		tmpfiles_process file1.conf file2.conf file3.conf
+#		...
+#	}
+#
+# @CODE
