-## NAME
-podman\-varlink - Runs the varlink backend interface
-
-## SYNOPSIS
-**podman varlink** [*options*] *uri*
-
-## DESCRIPTION
-Starts the varlink service listening on *uri* that allows varlink clients to interact with podman.  If no *uri* is provided, a default
-URI will be used depending on the user calling the varlink service.  The default for the root user is `unix:/run/podman/io.podman`. Regular
-users will have a default *uri* of `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman/io.podman`.  For example, `unix:/run/user/1000/podman/io.podman`
-The varlink service should generally be done with systemd.  See _Configuration_ below.
-
-
-## OPTIONS
-
-**--help**, **-h**
-
-  Print usage statement
-
-**--time**, **-t**
-
-The time until the varlink session expires in _milliseconds_. The default is 1
-second. A value of `0` means no timeout and the session will not expire.
-
-## EXAMPLES
-
-Run the podman varlink service accepting all default options.
-
-```
-$ podman varlink
-```
-
-
-Run the podman varlink service with an alternate URI and accept the default timeout.
-
-```
-$ podman varlink unix:/tmp/io.podman
-```
-
-Run the podman varlink service manually with a 5 second timeout.
-
-```
-$ podman varlink --timeout 5000
-```
-
-## CONFIGURATION
-
-Users of the podman varlink service should enable the _io.podman.socket_ and _io.podman.service_.
-This is the preferred method for running the varlink service.
-
-You can do this via systemctl.
-
-```
-$ systemctl enable --now io.podman.socket
-```
