SYNOPSIS
virtbhyved [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
The virtbhyved 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 bhyve virtual machines.
The virtbhyved 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 virtbhyved 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.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Display command line help usage then exit.
-d, --daemon
Run as a daemon & write PID file.
-f, --config *FILE*

The PID file to use, unless overridden by the -p | --pid-file option.
When run as non-root
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/libvirt/virtbhyved.conf
