docs: convert virtlockd man page from pod to rst
This was a semi-automated conversion. First it was run through pod2rst, and then it was manually editted to use a rst structure that matches expectations of rst2man. Reviewed-by: Cole Robinson <crobinso@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>

SYNOPSIS
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
``virtlockd`` [*OPTION*]...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
The ``virtlockd`` program is a server side daemon component of the libvirt
|
||||
virtualization management system that is used to manage locks held against
|
||||
virtual machine resources, such as their disks.
|
||||
|
||||
This daemon is not used directly by libvirt client applications, rather it
|
||||
is called on their behalf by ``libvirtd``. By maintaining the locks in a
|
||||
standalone daemon, the main libvirtd daemon can be restarted without risk
|
||||
of losing locks. The ``virtlockd`` daemon has the ability to re-exec()
|
||||
itself upon receiving SIGUSR1, to allow live upgrades without downtime.
|
||||
|
||||
The ``virtlockd`` daemon listens for requests on a local Unix domain socket.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
``-h``, ``--help``
|
||||
|
||||
Display command line help usage then exit.
|
||||
|
||||
``-d``, ``--daemon``
|
||||
|
||||
Run as a daemon and write PID file.
|
||||
|
||||
``-f``, ``--config`` *FILE*
|
||||
|
||||
Use this configuration file, overriding the default value.
|
||||
|
||||
``-t``, ``--timeout`` *SECONDS*
|
||||
|
||||
Automatically shutdown after *SECONDS* have elapsed with
|
||||
no active client or lock.
|
||||
|
||||
``-p``, ``--pid-file`` *FILE*
|
||||
|
||||
Use this name for the PID file, overriding the default value.
|
||||
|
||||
``-v``, ``--verbose``
|
||||
|
||||
Enable output of verbose messages.
|
||||
|
||||
``-V``, ``--version``
|
||||
|
||||
Display version information then exit.
|
||||
|
||||
SIGNALS
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
On receipt of ``SIGUSR1``, ``virtlockd`` will re-exec() its binary, while
|
||||
maintaining all current locks and clients. This allows for live
|
||||
upgrades of the ``virtlockd`` service.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
FILES
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
When run as *root*
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* ``SYSCONFDIR/libvirt/virtlockd.conf``
|
||||
|
||||
The default configuration file used by ``virtlockd``, unless overridden on the
|
||||
command line using the ``-f`` | ``--config`` option.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``RUNSTATEDIR/libvirt/virtlockd-sock``
|
||||
|
||||
The sockets ``virtlockd`` will use.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``RUNSTATEDIR/virtlockd.pid``
|
||||
|
||||
The PID file to use, unless overridden by the ``-p`` | ``--pid-file`` option.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When run as *non-root*
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/libvirt/virtlockd.conf``
|
||||
|
||||
The default configuration file used by ``virtlockd``, unless overridden on the
|
||||
command line using the ``-f`` | ``--config`` option.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtlockd-sock``
|
||||
|
||||
The socket ``virtlockd`` will use.
|
||||
|
||||
* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtlockd.pid``
|
||||
|
||||
The PID file to use, unless overridden by the ``-p`` | ``--pid-file`` option.
|
||||
|
||||
If ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` is not set in your environment, ``virtlockd`` will use
|
||||
``$HOME/.config``
|
||||
|
||||
If ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` is not set in your environment, ``virtlockd`` will use
|
||||
``$HOME/.cache``
|
||||
|
||||
EXAMPLES
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
To retrieve the version of ``virtlockd``:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
# virtlockd --version
|
||||
virtlockd (libvirt) 1.1.1
|
||||
|
||||
To start ``virtlockd``, instructing it to daemonize and create a PID file:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
# virtlockd -d
|
||||
# ls -la RUNSTATEDIR/virtlockd.pid
|
||||
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jul 9 02:40 RUNSTATEDIR/virtlockd.pid
