NAME

       openrazer-daemon - Daemon to manage Razer devices in userspace

SYNOPSIS

       openrazer-daemon [options...]

DESCRIPTION

       openrazer-daemon  is  a  userspace  service  which  is  designed  to be an intermediary between userspace
       programs and the Razer drivers. It will provide some higher level functions to allow similar operation to
       the Windows Razer Synapse program. This service is designed to be started by xdg-autostart as  a  session
       service.

       The  service  has  the  functionality  to sync effects between multiple devices, perform on-the-fly macro
       recording and playback and reimplements the FN+Keys logic so they work when macro_keys are  enabled.  The
       service can also perform various ripple effects and turn off the devices when the screensaver is active.

       Note,  that  all  paths  shown as defaults, eg ~/.local/share/ or ~/.config/ can be changed with XDG Base
       Directory specification variables: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

OPTIONS

       -v, --verbose
           Enable logging of DEBUG messages.

       -F, --foreground
           Run the daemon in the foreground and don't fork. This also enables sending the log output  to  stdout
           (in addition to the log file).

       -r, --respawn
           Stop any running daemon first (if one is running) before starting.

       -s, --stop
           Gracefully stop the running daemon.

       --as-root
           Allow the daemon to be started as root.

       --config=config_file
           Specifies   the  location  of  the  config  file.  If  this  is  not  provided  it  will  default  to
           ~/.config/openrazer/razer.conf and create it if needed from the example config.

       --persistence=persistence_file
           Specifies the location of the persistence file. This will be created if non-existent. This file  will
           store device states so they persist between reboots.

       --run-dir=run_directory
           Tells  the  daemon what directory is its run directory, the directory it will change to once started.
           It will default to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, if not set it falls back to ~/.local/share/openrazer/.

       --log-dir=log_directory
           This argument decides where the log directory will be, the daemon itself will handle log rotation  as
           it's  a  user  session service. The daemon will default to ~/.local/share/openrazer/logs/ for its log
           directory.

       --test-dir=test_dir
           If provided the daemon will operate in test-driver mode in  which  it  exposes  devices  that  aren't
           physically  connected.  Use  scripts/create_fake_device.py  or scripts/setup_fake_devices.sh from the
           source repository to create the directory structure.
