DESCRIPTION

14       Starts the varlink service listening on uri that allows varlink clients
15       to interact with podman.  If no uri is provided, a default URI will  be
16       used  depending  on  the user calling the varlink service.  The default
17       for the root user is  unix:/run/podman/io.podman.  Regular  users  will
18       have  a default uri of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman/io.podman.  For example,
19       unix:/run/user/1000/podman/io.podman The varlink service should  gener‐
20       ally be done with systemd.  See Configuration below.
