+.SH "NAME"
+uuidd \- UUID generation daemon
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBuuidd\fP [options]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+The \fBuuidd\fP daemon is used by the UUID library to generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), especially time\-based UUIDs, in a secure and guaranteed\-unique fashion, even in the face of large numbers of threads running on different CPUs trying to grab UUIDs.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.sp
+\fB\-d\fP, \fB\-\-debug\fP
+.RS 4
+Run \fBuuidd\fP in debugging mode. This prevents \fBuuidd\fP from running as a daemon.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-F\fP, \fB\-\-no\-fork\fP
+.RS 4
+Do not daemonize using a double\-fork.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-k\fP, \fB\-\-kill\fP
+.RS 4
+If currently a uuidd daemon is running, kill it.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-n\fP, \fB\-\-uuids\fP \fInumber\fP
+.RS 4
+When issuing a test request to a running \fBuuidd\fP, request a bulk response of \fInumber\fP UUIDs.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-P\fP, \fB\-\-no\-pid\fP
+.RS 4
+Do not create a pid file.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-p\fP, \fB\-\-pid\fP \fIpath\fP
+.RS 4
+Specify the pathname where the pid file should be written. By default, the pid file is written to \fI{runstatedir}/uuidd/uuidd.pid\fP.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-q\fP, \fB\-\-quiet\fP
+.RS 4
+Suppress some failure messages.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-r\fP, \fB\-\-random\fP
+.RS 4
+Test uuidd by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and request it to return a random\-based UUID.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-S\fP, \fB\-\-socket\-activation\fP
+.RS 4
+Do not create a socket but instead expect it to be provided by the calling process. This implies \fB\-\-no\-fork\fP and \fB\-\-no\-pid\fP. This option is intended to be used only with \fBsystemd\fP(1). It needs to be enabled with a configure option.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-s\fP, \fB\-\-socket\fP \fIpath\fP
+.RS 4
+Make uuidd use this pathname for the unix\-domain socket. By default, the pathname used is \fI{runstatedir}/uuidd/request\fP. This option is primarily for debugging purposes, since the pathname is hard\-coded in the \fBlibuuid\fP library.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-T\fP, \fB\-\-timeout\fP \fInumber\fP
+.RS 4
+Make \fBuuidd\fP exit after \fInumber\fP seconds of inactivity.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-t\fP, \fB\-\-time\fP
+.RS 4
+Test \fBuuidd\fP by trying to connect to a running uuidd daemon and request it to return a time\-based UUID.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP
+.RS 4
+Display help text and exit.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP
+.RS 4
+Print version and exit.
+.RE
+.SH "EXAMPLE"
+.sp
+Start up a daemon, print 42 random keys, and then stop the daemon:
+.sp
+.if n .RS 4
+.nf
+.fam C
+uuidd \-p /tmp/uuidd.pid \-s /tmp/uuidd.socket
+uuidd \-d \-r \-n 42 \-s /tmp/uuidd.socket
+uuidd \-d \-k \-s /tmp/uuidd.socket
