+``knotd`` – Knot DNS server daemon
+==================================
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+:program:`knotd` [*parameters*]
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Knot DNS is a high-performance authoritative DNS server. The `knotd` program is
+the DNS server daemon.
+
+Options
+.......
+
+**-c**, **--config** *file*
+  Use a textual configuration file (default is :file:`@config_dir@/knot.conf`).
+
+**-C**, **--confdb** *directory*
+  Use a binary configuration database directory (default is :file:`@storage_dir@/confdb`).
+  The default configuration database, if exists, has a preference to the default
+  configuration file.
+
+**-m**, **--max-conf-size** *MiB*
+  Set maximum size of the configuration database
+  (default is @conf_mapsize@ MiB, maximum 10000 MiB).
+
+**-s**, **--socket** *path*
+  Use a remote control UNIX socket path (default is :file:`@run_dir@/knot.sock`).
+
+**-d**, **--daemonize** [*directory*]
+  Run the server as a daemon. New root directory may be specified
+  (default is :file:`/`).
+
+**-v**, **--verbose**
+  Enable debug output.
+
+**-h**, **--help**
+  Print the program help.
+
+**-V**, **--version**
+  Print the program version.
+
+Signals
+.......
+
+If the `knotd` process receives a SIGHUP signal, it reloads its configuration and
+reopens the log files, if they are configured. When `knotd` receives a SIGUSR1
+signal, it reloads all configured zones. Upon receiving a SIGINT signal, `knotd`
+exits.
+
+Exit values
+-----------
+
+Exit status of 0 means successful operation. Any other exit status indicates
+an error.
