+.Sh Name
+.Nm dnsmanagerd
+.Nd the DNS manager daemon.
+
+.Sh Description
+The
+.Nm dnsmanagerd
+daemon is a micro-service providing DNS domains and zones management.
+
+.Sh Synopsis
+.

+.Op Fl snREh
+.Op Fl v Ar verbosity
+.Op Fl -project Ar project-name
+.
+.Op Fl s Ar service-name
+.Op Fl r Ar path
+.Op Fl l Ar login
+.Op Fl p Ar password
+
+.Sh Configuration
+Most of the actual configuration will reasonably come from a configuration file, not from command line parameters.
+
+By default, configuration is read from
+.Pa $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/baguette/dnsmanager.yml
+or
+.Pa /etc/baguette/dnsmanager.yml .
+
+Configuration file is in YAML, see the following example:
+
+.in +4
+.nf
+recreate_indexes: true
+accepted_domains:
+  - netlib.re
+  - codelib.re
+.fi
+.in
+
+In this example, indexes are recreated, which is related to the
+.Xr dodb 7
+document database, see the related manual page to learn more.
+Also, there is a list of accepted domains for
+.Xr dnsmanagerd
+to handle.
+
+.Sh Configuration file variables
