+## NAME
+podman\-service - Run an API service
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+**podman service** [*options*]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+The **podman service** command creates a listening service that will answer API calls for Podman. You may
+optionally provide an endpoint for the API in URI form. For example, *unix://tmp/foobar.sock* or *tcp:localhost:8080*.
+If no endpoint is provided, defaults will be used. The default endpoint for a rootfull
+service is *unix:/run/podman/podman.sock* and rootless is *unix:/$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman/podman.sock* (for
+example *unix:/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock*)
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+**--timeout**, **-t**
+
+The time until the session expires in _milliseconds_. The default is 1
+second. A value of `0` means no timeout and the session will not expire.
+
+**--varlink**
+
+Use the varlink protocol instead of the REST-based protocol. This option will be deprecated in the future.
+
+**--help**, **-h**
+
+Print usage statement.
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+Run an API listening for 5 seconds using the default socket.
+```
+podman service --timeout 5000
+```
+
+Run the podman varlink service with an alternate URI and accept the default timeout.
+```
+$ podman service --varlink unix:/tmp/io.podman
+```
