+    <para><command>cnid_metad</command> waits for requests from <emphasis
+    remap="B">afpd</emphasis> to start up instances of the <emphasis
+    remap="B">cnid_dbd</emphasis> daemon. It keeps track of the status of a
+    <emphasis remap="B">cnid_dbd</emphasis> instance once started and will
+    restart it if necessary. <command>cnid_metad</command> is normally started
+    at boot time by <command>netatalk</command>(8) and runs
+    until shutdown.</para>

+
+    <para><command>cnid_metad</command> does not block or catch any signals
+    apart from SIGPIPE. It will therefore exit on most signals received. This
+    will also cause all instances of <emphasis remap="B">cnid_dbd's</emphasis>
+    started by that <command>cnid_metad</command> to exit gracefully. Since
+    state about and IPC access to the subprocesses is only maintained in
+    memory by <command>cnid_metad</command> this is desired behaviour. As soon
+    as <command>cnid_metad</command> is restarted <emphasis
+    remap="B">afpd</emphasis> processes will transparently reconnect.</para>
