+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Zhm
+is the link between a client machine and the zephyr server. All
+notices sent from programs on the client are funneled through
+.I zhm.
+This allows all client programs to be much simpler in function, since
+the HostManager is responsible for handling errors, retransmitting
+lost notices, and holding all notices until they are acknowledged.
+.PP
+The
+.I -d
+option turns on debugging mode, and sends its information to syslog
+LOG_DAEMON messages.
+.PP
+The
+.I -n
+option causes zhm to not attempt to put itself in the background.
+.PP
+The
+.I -h
+option causes
+.I zhm
+to send a shutdown message and exit upon delivery of a SIGHUP signal.
+The normal action on SIGHUP is to send a flush notice to the zephyr server.
+.PP
+The
+.I -r
+option causes
+.I zhm
+to send a boot notice to the server and exit when the notice is acknowledged.
+.PP
+The
+.I -i
+option indicates that
+.I zhm
+is being started by
+.I inetd(8).
+When this option is specified,
+.I zhm
+assumes that file descriptor zero (0) is bound to the UDP datagram port
+designated for hostmanager use. In this mode, SIGHUP is handled as if the
+.I -h
+option were specified.
+.PP
+The
+.I -f
+option disables the "flush" operation which allows any client to flush
+all subscriptions for the host.
+.PP
+The
+.I -N
+option supresses the initial "boot" message that flushes all subscriptions
+for the host, which is useful if you're restarting zhm on a host that
+people are using.
+.PP
+The optional
+.I server
+arguments are used to replace the set of server names supplied by
+the
+.I hesiod(3)
+name server.
