+.Sh NAME
+.Nm iscsid
+.Nd iSCSI initiator daemon
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl P Ar pidfile
+.Op Fl d
+.Op Fl l Ar loglevel
+.Op Fl m Ar maxproc
+.Op Fl t Ar seconds
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+daemon is responsible for performing the Login Phase of iSCSI connections,
+as well as performing SendTargets discovery.
+.Pp
+.Pp
+Upon startup, the
+.Nm
+daemon opens the iSCSI initiator device file and waits for kernel requests.
+It doesn't use any configuration file; all the information it needs it gets
+from the kernel.
+.Pp
+When the
+.Nm
+damon is not running, already established iSCSI connections continue
+to work.
+However, establishing new connections, or recovering existing ones in case
+of connection error, is not possible.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Fl P Ar pidfile"
+.It Fl P Ar pidfile
+Specify alternative location of a file where main process PID will be stored.
+The default location is /var/run/iscsid.pid.
+.It Fl d
+Debug mode.
+The server sends verbose debug output to standard error, and does not
+put itself in the background.
+The server will also not fork and will exit after processing one connection.
+This option is only intended for debugging the initiator.
+.It Fl l Ar loglevel
+Specifies debug level.
+The default is 0.
+.It Fl m Ar maxproc
+Specifies limit for concurrently running child processes handling
+connections.
+The default is 30.
+Setting it to 0 disables the limit.
+.It Fl t Ar seconds
+Specifies timeout for login session, after which the connection
+will be forcibly terminated.
+The default is 60.
+Setting it to 0 disables the timeout.
