By maintaining the locks in a +standalone daemon, the main libvirtd daemon can be restarted without risk +of losing locks. The ``virtlockd`` daemon has the ability to re-exec() +itself upon receiving SIGUSR1, to allow live upgrades without downtime. + +The ``virtlockd`` daemon listens for requests on a local Unix domain socket. + + +OPTIONS +======= + +``-h``, ``--help`` + +Display command line help usage then exit. + +``-d``, ``--daemon`` + +Run as a daemon and write PID file. + +``-f``, ``--config`` *FILE* + +Use this configuration file, overriding the default value. + +``-t``, ``--timeout`` *SECONDS* + +Automatically shutdown after *SECONDS* have elapsed with +no active client or lock. + +``-p``, ``--pid-file`` *FILE* + +Use this name for the PID file, overriding the default value. + +``-v``, ``--verbose`` + +Enable output of verbose messages. + +``-V``, ``--version`` + +Display version information then exit. + +SIGNALS +======= + +On receipt of ``SIGUSR1``, ``virtlockd`` will re-exec() its binary, while +maintaining all current locks and clients.
