+``kea-ctrl-agent`` - Control Agent process in Kea
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Synopsis
+~~~~~~~~
+
+:program:`kea-ctrl-agent` [**-v**] [**-V**] [**-W**] [**-d**] [**-c** config-file] [**-t** config-file]
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``kea-ctrl-agent`` provides a REST service for controlling Kea
+services. The received HTTP requests are decapsulated and forwarded to
+the respective Kea services in JSON format. Received JSON responses are
+encapsulated within HTTP responses and returned to the controlling
+entity. Some commands may be handled by the Control Agent directly, and
+not forwarded to any Kea service.
+
+Arguments
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The arguments are as follows:
+
+``-v``
+ Displays the version.
+
+``-V``
+ Displays the extended version.
+
+``-W``
+ Displays the configuration report.
+
+``-d``
+ Sets the logging level to debug with extra verbosity. This is primarily for
+ development purposes in stand-alone mode.
+
+``-c config-file``
+ Specifies the file with the configuration for the Control Agent
+ server. It may also contain configuration entries for other Kea
+ services.
+
+``-t config-file``
+ Checks the syntax of the configuration file and reports the first error,
+ if any. Note that not all parameters are completely checked; in
+ particular, service and client sockets are not opened, and hook
+ libraries are not loaded.
+
+Documentation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Kea comes with an extensive Kea Administrator Reference Manual that covers
+all aspects of running the Kea software - compilation, installation,
+configuration, configuration examples, and much more. Kea also features a
+Kea Messages Manual, which lists all possible messages Kea can print
+with a brief description for each of them. Both documents are
+available in various formats (.txt, .html, .pdf) with the Kea
+distribution. The Kea documentation is available at
+https://kea.readthedocs.io.
+
+Kea source code is documented in the Kea Developer's Guide,
+available at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/.
+
+The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org.
+
