himitsud(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual himitsud(1)

himitsud - himitsu(7) key ring daemon

himitsud [-DR]

The himitsud command runs the Himitsu key ring daemon. It creates a socket at $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/himitsu which accepts commands using the himitsu-ipc(5) protocol. Users will generally use hiq(1) or other clients to interact with it.

The user must have initialized a key store with himitsu-store(1) before running the daemon.

For a general introduction to Himitsu, see himitsu(7).

The following options are recognized by himitsud:

-C <path>

Path to configuration file to use (see himitsu.ini(5)).

-D

Daemonize (fork) the himitsud process after startup.

-R fd

Notify readiness by writing READY=1n into fd and then closing.
