+SYNOPSIS
+
+
+``virtnetworkd`` [*OPTION*]...
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===
+
+The ``virtnetworkd`` program is a server side daemon component of the libvirt
+virtualization management system.
+
+It is one of a collection of modular daemons that replace functionality
+previously provided by the monolithic ``libvirtd`` daemon.
+
+This daemon runs on virtualization hosts to provide management for virtual
+networks.
+
+The ``virtnetworkd`` daemon only listens for requests on a local Unix domain
+socket. Remote off-host access and backwards compatibility with legacy
+clients expecting ``libvirtd`` is provided by the ``virtproxy`` daemon.
+
+Restarting ``virtnetworkd`` does not interrupt running guests. Guests continue
to
+operate and changes in their state will generally be picked up automatically
+during startup. None the less it is recommended to avoid restarting with
+running guests whenever practical.
+
+
+SYSTEM SOCKET ACTIVATION
+
+
+The ``virtnetworkd`` daemon is capable of starting in two modes.
+
+In the traditional mode, it will create and listen on UNIX sockets itself.
+
+In socket activation mode, it will rely on systemd to create and listen
+on the UNIX sockets and pass them as pre-opened file descriptors. In this
+mode most of the socket related config options in
+``/etc/libvirt/virtnetworkd.conf`` will no longer have any effect.
+
+Socket activation mode is generally the default when running on a host
+OS that uses systemd. To revert to the traditional mode, all the socket
+unit files must be masked:
+
+::
+
+ $ systemctl mask virtnetworkd.socket virtnetworkd-ro.socket \
+ virtnetworkd-admin.socket
+
+
+OPTIONS
+===
+
+``-h``, ``--help``
+
+Display command line help usage then exit.
+
+``-d``, ``--daemon``
+
+Run as a daemon & write PID file.
+
+``-f``, ``--config *FILE*``
+
+Use this configuration file, overriding the default value.
+
+``-p``, ``--pid-file *FILE*``
+
+Use this name for the PID file, overriding the default value.
+
+``-t``, ``--timeout *SECONDS*``
+
+Exit after timeout period (in seconds), provided there are neither any client
+connections nor any running domains.
+
+``-v``, ``--verbose``
+
+Enable output of verbose messages.
+
+``--version``
+
+Display version information then exit.
+
+
+SIGNALS
+===
+
+On receipt of ``SIGHUP`` ``virtnetworkd`` will reload its configuration.
