\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

\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.
