+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.
The
.B tripectl
program is a simple client which can be used, either interactively or
taken from the environment variable
.BR TRIPEDIR ;
if that's not defined either, a default default of
-.B "@configdir@"
+.B "\*(/c"
is used.
.TP
.BI "\-a, \-\-admin-socket=" socket
environment variable
.BR TRIPESOCK ;
if that's not defined either, a default default of
-.B "@socketdir@/tripesock"
+.B "\*(/s/tripesock"
is used.
.TP
.BI "\-P, \-\-pidfile=" pidfile
(e.g.,
.BR \-a ).
.TP
+.BI "\-U, \-\-setuid=" user
+Set uid to that of
+.I user
+(either a user name or integer uid) after initialization. Also set gid
+to
+.IR user 's
+primary group, unless overridden by a
+.B \-G
+option. If a new
+.BR tripe (8)
+server is going to be spawned then it is also passed corresponding
+.B \-U
+and
+.B \-G
+options.
+.TP
+.BI "\-G, \-\-setgid=" group
+If the current effective uid is zero (i.e., the daemon was invoked as
+.BR root )
+then set gid to that of
+.I group
+(either a group name or integer gid) after initialization. If a new
+.BR tripe (8)
+server is going to be spawned then it is also passed a corresponding
+.B \-G
+option.
+.TP
.B "\-l, \-\-syslog"
Send warnings and trace messages to the
.BR syslog (8)
.B tripectl
will start a new
.B tripe
-server, rather than connecting to an existing one. This is most useful
-if you want to collect logging information from the server, and want to
-avoid losing any. For example, the command
+server, rather than connecting to an existing one.
+.PP
+The command line for the new server is
+.IP
+.I path
+.B \-F
+.B \-d.\&
+.B \-a
+.I socket
+.I dash-S-options
+.PP
+where
+.I dash-S-options
+is the concatenation of the arguments of
+.B \-S
+options, split at commas.
+.PP
+Starting a
+.B tripe
+server through
+.B tripectl
+is most useful if you want to collect logging information from the
+server, and want to avoid losing any. For example, the command
.VS
tripectl -Ds -f tripe.log
.VE
.PP
It's possible to communicate interactively with a newly-started server,
or to give it a command and quit, but this is seldom useful.
