+
+.SH USAGE
+
+.SS info
+
+This collects and displays lock state from lvmlockd.  The display is
+primitive, incomplete and will change in future version.  To print the raw
+lock state from lvmlockd, combine this option with --dump|-d.
+
+.SS dump
+
+This collects the circular log buffer of debug statements from lvmlockd
+and prints it.
+
+.SS kill
+
+This is run by sanlock when it loses access to the storage holding leases
+for a VG.  It currently emits a syslog message stating that the VG must
+be immediately deactivated.  In the future it may automatically attempt to
+forcibly deactivate the VG.  For more, see
+.BR lvmlockd (8).
+
+.SS drop
+
+This should only be run after a VG has been successfully deactivated
+following an lvmlockctl \-\-kill command.  It clears the stale lockspace
+from lvmlockd.  In the future, this may become automatic along with an
+automatic handling of \-\-kill.  For more, see
+.BR lvmlockd (8).
+
+.SS gl\-enable
+
+This enables the global lock in a sanlock VG.  This is necessary if the VG
+that previously held the global lock is removed.  For more, see
+.BR lvmlockd (8).
+
+.SS gl\-disable
+
+This disables the global lock in a sanlock VG.  This is necessary if the
+global lock has mistakenly been enabled in more than one VG.  The global
+lock should be disabled in all but one sanlock VG.  For more, see
+.BR lvmlockd (8).
+
+.SS stop\-lockspaces
+
+This tells lvmlockd to stop all lockspaces.  It can be useful to stop
+lockspaces for VGs that the vgchange \-\-lock\-stop comand can no longer
+see, or to stop the dlm global lockspace which is not directly stopped by
+the vgchange command.  The wait and force options can be used with this
+command.
