+    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+    <para>
+      The <command>b10-cfgmgr</command> daemon handles all BIND 10
+      system configuration. It provides persistent storage for
+      configuration, and notifies running BIND 10 modules of
+      configuration changes.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      The <command>bindctl</command> can be used to talk to this
+      configuration manager via a <command>b10-cmdctl</command> connection.
+    </para>
+     
+<!-- TODO: briefly explain why both msqg channel and cmdctl communication -->
+    <para>
+      This daemon communicates over a <command>msgq</command> C-Channel
+      connection.  If this connection is not established,
+      <command>b10-cfgmgr</command> will exit.
+    </para>
+<!-- TODO: will it exit?  -->
+
+    <para>
+      The daemon may be cleanly stopped by sending the SIGTERM
+      signal to the process.  This shutdown does not notify the
+      subscribers.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      When it exits, it saves its current configuration to
+      /var/bind10/b10-config.db
+<!-- TODO: fix path -->
+<!-- TODO: does it periodically save configuration? -->
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      The daemon has no command line options.  It ignores any arguments.
+<!-- TODO: add a verbose or quiet switch so it is not so noisy -->
+    </para>
