-.SH NAME
-uuidd \- UUID generation daemon
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B uuidd
-.RI [ options ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.B uuidd
-daemon is used by the UUID library to generate
-universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), especially time-based UUIDs,
-in a secure and guaranteed-unique fashion, even in the face of large
-numbers of threads running on different CPUs trying to grab UUIDs.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-d
-Run uuidd in debugging mode. This prevents uuidd from running as a daemon.
-.TP
-.BR \-h , " \-\-help "
-Display help screen and exit.
-.TP
-.BR \-k , " \-\-kill "
-If currently a uuidd daemon is running, kill it.
-.TP
-.BR \-n , " \-\-uuids " \fInumber\fR
-When issuing a test request to a running uuidd, request a bulk response
-of
-.I number
-UUIDs.
-.TP
-.BR \-p , " \-\-pid " \fIpath\fR
-Specify the pathname where the pid file should be written. By default,
-the pid file is written to /var/run/uuidd/uuidd.pid.
-.TP
-.BR \-P , " \-\-no-pid "
-Do not create pid file.
-.TP
-.BR \-F , " \-\-no-fork "
-Do not daemonize using double-fork.
-.TP
-.BR \-S , " \-\-socket-activation "
-Do not create the socket and instead expect it to be provided by the calling
-process. Implies --no-fork and --no-pid. As of this writing, this option is
-supposed to be used only with systemd. This option must be enabled with a configure
-option.
-.TP
-.B \-q
-Suppress some failure messages.
-.TP
-.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 " \fIpath\fR
-Specify the pathname used for the unix-domain socket used by uuidd. By
-default, the pathname used is /var/run/uuidd/request. This is primarily
-for debugging purposes, since the pathname is hard-coded in the libuuid
-library.
-.TP
-.BR \-T , " \-\-timeout " \fItimeout\fR
-Specify a timeout for uuidd. If specified, then uuidd will exit after
-.I timeout
-seconds of inactivity.
-.TP
-.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 "
-Output version information and exit.
-.SH EXAMPLE
-Start up a daemon, print 42 random keys, and then stop the daemon.
-.PP
-.RS
-.nf
-uuidd -p /tmp/uuidd.pid -s /tmp/uuidd.socket
-uuidd -d -r -n 42 -s /tmp/uuidd.socket
-uuidd -d -k -s /tmp/uuidd.socket
-.nf
-.RE
-.SH AUTHOR
-The
-.B uuidd
-daemon was written by Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>.
-.SH AVAILABILITY
-The uuidd daemon is part of the util-linux package and is available from
-ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
