-.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"
