-<h1> The <tt>s6-fdholder-transferdumpc</tt> program </h1>
-
-<p>
-<tt>s6-fdholder-transferdumpc</tt> talks to two
-<a href="s6-fdholderd.html">fd-holding daemons</a>: the source of the
-transfer on its
-standard input, and the destination of the transfer on its standard output,
-both being
-open Unix domain sockets. It retrieves the entire storage state of
-the source daemon and dumps it into the destination daemon.
-</p>
-
-<h2> Interface </h2>
-
-<pre>
- s6-fdholder-transferdumpc [ -t <em>timeoutfrom</em> ] [ -T timeoutto ]
-</pre>
-
-<ul>
- <li> s6-fdholder-transferdumpc expects to talk to a listening
-<a href="s6-fdholderd.html">s6-fdholderd</a> program on its descriptor 0 and
-to another one on its descriptor 1. </li>
- <li> It gets the entire set of file descriptors from the first
-server, with their identifiers and possibly expiration dates. </li>
- <li> It stores that set into the second server. The set is
-<em>added</em> to the second server, which keeps the descriptors
-it was already holding. </li>
- <li> It then exits 0, or 1 if a server returned an error. </li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2> Options </h2>
-
-<ul>
-<li> <tt>-t&nbsp;<em>timeoutfrom</em></tt>&nbsp;: if the set-retrieving
-operation cannot be processed in <em>timeoutfrom</em> milliseconds, then
-fail with an error message.
-Communications with the server should be near-instant, so this option is
-only here to protect users against programming errors. </li>
-<li> <tt>-T&nbsp;<em>timeoutto</em></tt>&nbsp;: same thing with the
-set-storing operation. </li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2> Notes </h2>
-
-<ul>
- <li> s6-fdholder-transferdumpc is the "internal" version of
-<a href="s6-fdholder-transferdump.html">s6-fdholder-transferdump</a>. It simply
-expects to be run with file descriptors already open to both
-servers; <a href="s6-fdholder-transferdump.html">s6-fdholder-transferdump</a>
-takes care of all the plumbing. </li>
- <li> The error messages for the s6-fdholder suite are explained
-<a href="s6-fdholder-errorcodes.html">here</a>. </li>
- <li> Dumping the entire state of <a href="s6-fdholderd.html">s6-fdholderd</a>
-requires special authorizations. Make sure the s6-fdholderd instances are
-<a href="s6-fdholderd.html#configuration">configured</a> to accept
-dump-getting and dump-setting requests from your client. </li>
- <li> A typical use case of
-<a href="s6-fdholder-transferdump.html">s6-fdholder-transferdump</a> and
-s6-fdholder-transferdumpc is when the main fd-holding daemon needs to
-upgrade, or restart for some reason. Transferring the file descriptors
-into another, temporary fd-holding daemon instance allows it to
-restart without losing the descriptors. </li>
-</ul>
