+.SH NAME
+fence_virtd - Fencing host for virtual machines
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.P
+fence_virtd is a host daemon designed to route fencing requests for
+virtual machines.
+
+Fence_virt and fence_xvm talk to fence_virtd, which supports multiple backend plugins, including:
+ - libvirt for single-node operation
+ - Corosync CPG and libvirt when using Linux-cluster release 3.0.0 or later
+ - libvirt-qpid for multi-node, non-cluster operation
+
+For compatibility, fence_xvm from linux-cluster release 2 may talk to fence_virtd.
+
+.P
+fence_virtd accepts a few options on the command line, but most options
+are read from fence_virt.conf.
