-.Op Fl f Ar file
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm
-is the host status daemon for server load balancing.
-Its main purpose is to keep
-.Xr pf 4
-tables up to date
-as well as any related pf rdr rules.
-To communicate with pf,
-.Nm
-uses the anchor facility.
-To enable
-.Nm
-to install rulesets through the anchor,
-the following line is required in the NAT section of
-.Xr pf.conf 5 :
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-rdr-anchor "hostated/*"
-.Ed
-.Pp
-.Nm
-manipulates three data types: services, tables, and hosts.
-Each service represents a
-.Xr pf 4
-rdr rule.
-A service contains at least one table and one virtual IP which are
-used to create the proper rule.
-Each table contains at least one host, and is mapped to a pf table.
-Additionally a table can be backed up i.e. its content will be swapped
-by the content of another table when it is empty.
-This can be used to serve static content when a dynamic service goes down.
-See
-.Xr hostated.conf 5
-for a more detailed explanation of how to configure
-.Nm .
-.Pp
-.Xr hostatectl 8
-can be used to enable or disable hosts, tables, and services as well
-as showing the current status of each object.
