List object properties with ``<type>,help``. See the :manpage:`qemu(1)`
manual page for a description of the object properties.
+.. option:: --pidfile PATH
+
+ is the path to a file where the daemon writes its pid. This allows scripts to
+ stop the daemon by sending a signal::
+
+ $ kill -SIGTERM $(<path/to/qsd.pid)
+
+ A file lock is applied to the file so only one instance of the daemon can run
+ with a given pid file path. The daemon unlinks its pid file when terminating.
+
+ The pid file is written after chardevs, exports, and NBD servers have been
+ created but before accepting connections. The daemon has started successfully
+ when the pid file is written and clients may begin connecting.
+
Examples
--------
Launch the daemon with QMP monitor socket ``qmp.sock`` so clients can execute
