+This file is a standalone program that creates a fifo file (if it doesn’t exist
+yet), opens it for reading, reads commands from it and executes them (each line
+should be a command).
+
+Usage: ./daemon.py <path_tofifo>
+
+That fifo should be in a directory, shared through sshfs, with the remote
+machine running poezio. Poezio then writes command in it, and this daemon
+executes them on the local machine.
+Note that you should not start this daemon if you do not trust the remote
+machine that is running poezio, since this could make it run any (dangerous)
+command on your local machine.
