+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility is used to configure the iSCSI initiator.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Fl A"
+.It Fl A
+Add session.
+.It Fl R
+Remove session.
+.It Fl L
+List sessions.
+.It Fl a
+When adding, add all sessions defined in the configuration file.
+When removing, remove all currently established sessions.
+.It Fl c
+Path to the configuration file.
+The default is
+.Pa /etc/iscsi.conf .
+.It Fl d
+Target host name or address used for SendTargets discovery.
+When used, it will add a temporary discovery session.
+After discovery is done, sessions will be added for each discovered target,
+and the temporary discovery sesion will be removed.
+.It Fl h
+Target host name or address for statically defined targets.
+.It Fl n
+The "nickname" of session defined in the configuration file.
+.It Fl t
+Target name.
+.It Fl v
+Verbose mode.
+.El
+.Pp
+Since connecting to the target is performed in background, non-zero
+exit status does not mean that the session was successfully established.
+Use
+.Nm Fl L
+to check the connection status.
+The initiator notifies
+.Xr devd 8
+when session gets connected or disconnected.
+.Pp
+Note that in order to the iSCSI initiator to be able to connect to a target,
+the
+.Xr iscsid 8
+daemon must be running.
+.Pp
+Also note that
+.Fx
+currently supports two different initiators: the old one,
+.Xr iscsi_initiator 4 ,
+with its control utility
+.Xr iscontrol 8 ,
+and the new one,
+.Xr iscsi 4 ,
+with
+.Xr iscsictl 8
+and
+.Xr iscsid 8 .
+The only thing the two have in common is the configuration file,
+.Xr iscsi.conf 5 .
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/iscsi.conf" -compact
