+<h1> The <tt>s6-fdholder-setdump</tt> program </h1>
+
+<p>
+<tt>s6-fdholder-setdump</tt> connects to a
+<a href="s6-fdholderd.html">fd-holding daemon</a> listening on a
+Unix domain socket, and dumps a set of file descriptors into
+that daemon.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Interface </h2>
+
+<pre>
+ s6-fdholder-setdump [ -t <em>timeout</em> ] <em>path</em>
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> s6-fdholder-setdump executes into <tt><a href="s6-ipcclient.html">s6-ipcclient</a> <em>path</em>
+<a href="s6-fdholder-setdumpc.html">s6-fdholder-setdumpc</a> <em>id</em></tt>. It does nothing else: it is just a
+convenience program. The <a href="s6-ipcclient.html">s6-ipcclient</a> program connects
+to a Unix socket at <em>path</em>, and the
+<a href="s6-fdholder-setdumpc.html">s6-fdholder-setdumpc</a> program transmits the
+file descriptors over the socket. </li>
+ <li> It should be used to connect to a
+<a href="s6-fdholderd.html">s6-fdholderd</a> daemon, which will store the set of
+file descriptors. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Options </h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li> <tt>-t&nbsp;<em>timeout</em></tt>&nbsp;: if the operation cannot be
+processed in <em>timeout</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 (connecting to the
+wrong socket, for instance). </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Notes </h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> The file descriptors to transmit to the server should of course be
+already open in the s6-fdholder-setdump program; also, s6-fdholder-setdump
+should have certain environment variables that describe that set of file
+descriptors. The format of the environment is the same as the one set by
+<a href="s6-fdholder-getdumpc.html">s6-fdholder-getdumpc</a>. </li>
+</ul>
