+.SH NAME
+a2ensite, a2dissite \- enable or disable an apache2 site / virtual host
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B a2ensite
+[ [\-q|\-\-quiet]
+.IR site ]
+.PP
+.B a2dissite
+[ [\-q|\-\-quiet]
+.IR site ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page documents briefly the
+.B a2ensite
+and
+.B a2dissite
+commands.
+.PP
+.B a2ensite
+is a script that enables the specified site (which contains a <VirtualHost> block) within the
+.B apache2
+configuration. It does this by creating symlinks within
+.BR /etc/apache2/sites-enabled .
+Likewise,
+.B a2dissite
+disables a site by removing those symlinks. It is not an error to
+enable a site which is already enabled, or to disable one which is
+already disabled.
+.PP
+Apache treats the very first virtual host enabled specially as every request not
+matching any actual directive is being redirected there. Thus it should be called
+.B 000-default
+in order to sort before the remaining hosts to be loaded first.
+.SH OPTIONS

+.B \-q, \-\-quiet

+.TP
+.B \-m, \-\-maintmode
+Enables the maintainer mode, that is the program invocation is effectuated

+users.
+.TP
+.B \-p, \-\-purge
+When disabling a module, purge all traces of the module in the internal state
+data base.
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+.B a2ensite
+and
+.B a2dissite
+exit with status 0 if all
+.IR site s
+are processed successfully, 1 if errors occur, 2 if an invalid option was used.
+.SH EXAMPLES
