+Daemon configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When you run `lttng-sessiond`, it configures itself from, in this order:
+
+. The INI configuration file +{system_lttng_conf}+, if any.
+
+. The INI configuration file `$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/lttng.conf`, if any.
++
+`$LTTNG_HOME` defaults to `$HOME`.
+
+. With the option:--config='PATH' option: the INI configuration file
+ 'PATH'.
+
+. The command-line options.
+
+Each step can override a previous configuration property.
+
+In INI configuration files, the session daemon only reads the properties
+under the `sessiond` INI section. Each INI property is:
+
+Key::
+ The long name of a command-line option to set (see the
+ <<options,OPTIONS>> section below).
+
+Value::
+ The selected command-line option accepts an argument:::
+ Option argument (string).
+
+ The selected command-line option is a switch:::
+ `true`::::
+ `yes`::::
+ `on`::::
+ Enable the option.
+
+ `false`::::
+ `no`::::
+ `off`::::
+ Disable the option.
