Not sure I understand your question.

For all intents and purposes 0s is the same as 1us (or something else
sufficiently small). I.e., the file is cleaned up every time
systemd-tmpfiles --clean is called. This is probably not something you
want during normal operation (though some obviously do). However, it
is useful when testing systemd-tmpfiles, and surprising that it does
not work.

What did you have in mind for documentation? The way I read the
manpage "0s" is valid and this patch gives the correct behavior. Am I
missing something?

Cheers,

Tom
