This will make integrating the building of HTML versions of these manpages into the build system way easier, at the cost of keeping manpages in a different directory to the source for the program they describe. I think this is an acceptable trade-off.

.SH NAME
|
|
dbus-cleanup-sockets \- clean up leftover sockets in a directory
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B dbus-cleanup-sockets [DIRECTORY]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The \fIdbus-cleanup-sockets\fP command cleans up unused D-Bus
|
|
connection sockets. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for
|
|
more information about the big picture.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
If given no arguments, \fIdbus-cleanup-sockets\fP cleans up sockets
|
|
in the standard default socket directory for the
|
|
per-user-login-session message bus; this is usually /tmp.
|
|
Optionally, you can pass a different directory on the command line.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
On Linux, this program is essentially useless, because D-Bus defaults
|
|
to using "abstract sockets" that exist only in memory and don't have a
|
|
corresponding file in /tmp.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
On most other flavors of UNIX, it's possible for the socket files to
|
|
leak when programs using D-Bus exit abnormally or without closing
|
|
their D-Bus connections. Thus, it might be interesting to run
|
|
dbus-cleanup-sockets in a cron job to mop up any leaked sockets.
|
|
Or you can just ignore the leaked sockets, they aren't really hurting
|
|
anything, other than cluttering the output of "ls /tmp"
