+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-socket-activate</command> may be used to launch a socket-activated service program from the
+ command line for testing purposes. It may also be used to launch individual instances of the service program per
+ connection.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>The daemon to launch and its options should be specified
+ after options intended for <command>systemd-socket-activate</command>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>If the <option>--inetd</option> option is given, the socket file descriptor will be used as the standard
+ input and output of the launched process. Otherwise, standard input and output will be inherited, and sockets will
+ be passed through file descriptors 3 and higher. Sockets passed through <varname>$LISTEN_FDS</varname> to
+ <command>systemd-socket-activate</command> will be passed through to the daemon, in the original positions. Other sockets
+ specified with <option>--listen=</option> will use consecutive descriptors. By default,
+ <command>systemd-socket-activate</command> listens on a stream socket, use <option>--datagram</option> and
+ <option>--seqpacket</option> to listen on datagram or sequential packet sockets instead (see below).
