+<h1> The s6-instance-status program </h1>
+
+<p>
+s6-instance-status gives the status of a running instance of an
+<a href="instances.html">instanced service</a>, as a short human-readable
+summary or programmatically parsable output.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Interface </h2>
+
+<pre>
+ s6-instance-status [ -uwNrpest | -o up,wantedup,normallyup,ready,paused,pid,exitcode,signal,signum,updownsince,readysince,updownfor,readyfor ] [ -n ] <em>servicedir</em> <em>name</em>
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> s6-instance-status expects a running, supervised
+<a href="instances.html">instanced service</a> in <em>servicedir</em>,
+as well as an existing instance of this service named <em>name</em>. </li>
+ <li> It prints information to stdout about the monitored instance of <em>servicedir</em> named <em>name</em>. </li>
+ <li> It exits 0. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Exit codes </h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> 0: success </li>
+ <li> 100: wrong usage </li>
+ <li> 111: system call failed </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Options </h2>
+
+<p>
+ The options are exactly the same as the ones understood by <a href="s6-svstat.html">s6-svstat</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ In fact, s6-instance-status is
+nothing more than a call to <a href="s6-svstat.html">s6-svstat</a> on the service
+directory representing the <em>name</em> instance. It is syntactic sugar so
+the user does not have to depend on the internal representation of instances
+and the location of instances' service directories.
