\section fishd fishd - Universal variable daemon
\subsection fishd-synopsis Synopsis
<tt>fishd [(-h|--help|-v|--version)]</tt>
\subsection fishd-description Description
The \c fishd daemon is used to load, save and distribute universal
variable information. fish automatically connects to fishd via a socket
on startup. If no instance of fishd is running, fish spawns a new
fishd instance. fishd will create a socket in /tmp, and wait for
incoming connections from universal variable clients, such as fish,
When no clients are connected, fishd will automatically shut down.
- <tt>-h</tt> or <tt>--help</tt> displays this help message and then exits
- <tt>-v</tt> or <tt>--version</tt> displays the current fish version and then exits
\subsection fishd-files Files
~/.fishd.HOSTNAME permanent storage location for universal variable
data. The data is stored as a set of \c set and \c set_export commands
such as would be parsed by fishd. If an instance of fishd is running
(which is generally the case), manual modifications to ~/.fishd.HOSTNAME
will be lost. Do NOT edit this file manually!
/tmp/fishd.socket.USERNAME the socket which fishd uses to communicate
with all clients.
/tmp/fishd.log.USERNAME the fishd log file
