-h, --help

Print help (see a summary with '-h')

Kills the daemon. This is the recommended way of doing it, since we wait to make sure the socket file was deleted, thus confirming the daemon exited.

Note that sending SIGTERM to the daemon would work correctly, but sending SIGKILL would make daemon leave behind the socket file. This is not a big problem; it would only cause a warning to be printed next time the daemon is initialized.
