You could try restoring the data someplace and checking.

Having said that consider your output growning to:

   
/var/tmp/systemd-private-afec52583fda49a1a91c048df985024d-geoclue.service-K2Q5lj/something/something

Instead, they insert ellipses to keep it readable.

Or so I think. Try it and find out.
