+.SH NAME
+aptd \- package managing daemon proving a D-Bus interface
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B aptd
+.RI [ OPTIONS ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B aptd
+allows to perform package management tasks, e.g. installing or removing
+software, using a D-Bus interface. The privileges are handled by PolicyKit
+so the client application doesn't need to run as root. Furthermore aptd is
+started by D-Bus activation only when an user calls a method.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.IP "-d, --debug"
+Show additional information on the command line.
+.IP "-h, --help"
+Show information about the usage of the command.
+.IP "-r, --replace"
+Replace another aptd instance if it is running.
+.IP "-p PROFILE_FILE"
+Write profiling data to
+.I PROFILE_FILE
+using Python's profiler. This is only of use to developers.
+.IP "-t, --disable-timeout"
+Do not shutdown the daemon after an idle time.
+.IP "--dummy"
+Instead of applying the changes to the system only show a progress. This option is only usable for developers to locate problems in client applications.
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20dbus
+Adds a small post update hook which will emit the org.debian.apt.CacheChanged signal on the system D-Bus to indicate that the cache has been changed and a possible running aptd instance should reloade its internal cache.
+.TP
+.I /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.debian.apt.policy
+The PolicyKit definitions of the privileges used by aptdaemon, e.g. to install packages. To change the privileges please have a look at
+.BR PolicyKit.conf (1).
+.TP
+.I /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.debian.apt.conf
+The D-Bus configuration of the org.debian.apt name space.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+By default aptdaemon logs to the syslog facility AptDaemon. Furthermore you
+can use the -d option to get additional information on the command line.
