.SH OPTIONS
.TP
-.BR \-d , " \-\-debug "
+.BR \-d , " \-\-debug"

.TP
-.BR \-F , " \-\-no-fork "
+.BR \-F , " \-\-no-fork"
Do not daemonize using a double-fork.
.TP
-.BR \-k , " \-\-kill "
+.BR \-k , " \-\-kill"
If currently a uuidd daemon is running, kill it.
.TP
.BR \-n , " \-\-uuids " \fInumber\fR
.I number
UUIDs.
.TP
-.BR \-P , " \-\-no-pid "
+.BR \-P , " \-\-no-pid"
Do not create a pid file.
.TP
.BR \-p , " \-\-pid " \fIpath\fR
Specify the pathname where the pid file should be written. By default,
the pid file is written to @runstatedir@/uuidd/uuidd.pid.
.TP
-.BR \-q , " \-\-quiet "
+.BR \-q , " \-\-quiet"
Suppress some failure messages.
.TP
-.BR \-r , " \-\-random "
+.BR \-r , " \-\-random"
Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and
request it to return a random-based UUID.
.TP
-.BR \-S , " \-\-socket-activation "
+.BR \-S , " \-\-socket-activation"
Do not create a socket but instead expect it to be provided by the calling
process. This implies \fB\-\-no-fork\fR and \fB\-\-no-pid\fR. This option is
intended to be used only with \fBsystemd\fR(1). It needs to be enabled with
.BR \-T , " \-\-timeout " \fInumber\fR
Make uuidd exit after \fInumber\fR seconds of inactivity.
.TP
-.BR \-t , " \-\-time "
+.BR \-t , " \-\-time"
Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and
request it to return a time-based UUID.
.TP
-.BR \-V , " \-\-version "
+.BR \-V , " \-\-version"
Output version information and exit.
.TP
-.BR \-h , " \-\-help "
+.BR \-h , " \-\-help"
