Furthermore, it seems seedfiles actually does not support use stdin:

seedfiles: Would empty directory '/run/sudo'.

I may misunderstand seedfiles/systemd-tmpfiles and it looks like that 
systemd-tmpfiles do not support be invoked without '-' or configuration file. 
Please ignore this part. Sorry for the noise.

But the part that seedfiles fail to accept '-' as stdin still vaild.
