This was a semi-automated conversion. First it was run through pod2rst,
and then it was manually editted to use a rst structure that matches
expectations of rst2man.

+
+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+``libvirtd`` [*OPTION*]...
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+The ``libvirtd`` program is the server side daemon component of the libvirt
+virtualization management system.
+
+This daemon runs on host servers and performs required management tasks for
+virtualized guests. This includes activities such as starting, stopping
+and migrating guests between host servers, configuring and manipulating
+networking, and managing storage for use by guests.
+
+The libvirt client libraries and utilities connect to this daemon to issue
+tasks and collect information about the configuration and resources of the host
+system and guests.
+
+By default, the libvirtd daemon listens for requests on a local Unix domain
+socket. Using the ``-l`` | ``--listen`` command line option, the libvirtd daemon
+can be instructed to additionally listen on a TCP/IP socket. The TCP/IP socket
+to use is defined in the libvirtd configuration file.
+
+Restarting libvirtd does not impact running guests. Guests continue to operate
+and will be picked up automatically if their XML configuration has been
+defined. Any guests whose XML configuration has not been defined will be lost
+from the configuration.
+
+
+SYSTEM SOCKET ACTIVATION
+========================
+
+The ``libvirtd`` daemon is capable of starting in two modes.
+
+In the traditional mode, it will create and listen on UNIX sockets itself.
+If the ``--listen`` parameter is given, it will also listen on TCP/IP socket(s),
+according to the ``listen_tcp`` and ``listen_tls`` options in
+``/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf``
+
+In socket activation mode, it will rely on systemd to create and listen
+on the UNIX, and optionally TCP/IP, sockets and pass them as pre-opened
+file descriptors. In this mode, it is not permitted to pass the ``--listen``
+parameter, and most of the socket related config options in
+``/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf`` will no longer have any effect. To enable
+TCP or TLS sockets use either
+
+::
+
+ $ systemctl start libvirtd-tls.socket
+
+Or
+
+::
+
+ $ systemctl start libvirtd-tcp.socket
+
+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 libvirtd.socket libvirtd-ro.socket \
+ libvirtd-admin.socket libvirtd-tls.socket libvirtd-tcp.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.
+
+``-l``, ``--listen``
+
+Listen for TCP/IP connections. This should not be set if using systemd
+socket activation. Instead activate the libvirtd-tls.socket or
+libvirtd-tcp.socket unit files.
+
+``-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`` libvirtd will reload its configuration.
+
+
+FILES
+=====
+
+When run as *root*
+------------------
+
+* ``SYSCONFDIR/libvirt/libvirtd.conf``
+
+The default configuration file used by libvirtd, unless overridden on the
+command line using the ``-f`` | ``--config`` option.
+
+* ``RUNSTATEDIR/libvirt/libvirt-sock``
+* ``RUNSTATEDIR/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro``
+
+The sockets libvirtd will use.
+
+* ``SYSCONFDIR/pki/CA/cacert.pem``
+
+The TLS **Certificate Authority** certificate libvirtd will use.
+
+* ``SYSCONFDIR/pki/libvirt/servercert.pem``
+
+The TLS **Server** certificate libvirtd will use.
+
+* ``SYSCONFDIR/pki/libvirt/private/serverkey.pem``
+
+The TLS **Server** private key libvirtd will use.
+
+* ``RUNSTATEDIR/libvirtd.pid``
+
+The PID file to use, unless overridden by the ``-p`` | ``--pid-file`` option.
+
+
+When run as *non-root*
+----------------------
+
+* ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/libvirt/libvirtd.conf``
+
+The default configuration file used by libvirtd, unless overridden on the
+command line using the ``-f``|``--config`` option.
+
+* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/libvirt-sock``
+
+The socket libvirtd will use.
+
+* ``$HOME/.pki/libvirt/cacert.pem``
+
+The TLS **Certificate Authority** certificate libvirtd will use.
+
+* ``$HOME/.pki/libvirt/servercert.pem``
+
+The TLS **Server** certificate libvirtd will use.
+
+* ``$HOME/.pki/libvirt/serverkey.pem``
+
+The TLS **Server** private key libvirtd will use.
+
+* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/libvirtd.pid``
+
+The PID file to use, unless overridden by the ``-p``|``--pid-file`` option.
+
+
+If ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` is not set in your environment, libvirtd will use
+``$HOME/.config``
+
+If ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` is not set in your environment, libvirtd will use
+``$HOME/.cache``
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+========
+
+To retrieve the version of libvirtd:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ # libvirtd --version
+ libvirtd (libvirt) 0.8.2
+
+
+To start libvirtd, instructing it to daemonize and create a PID file:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ # libvirtd -d
+ # ls -la RUNSTATEDIR/libvirtd.pid
