% podman-varlink "1"
## NAME
podman\-varlink - Runs the varlink backend interface
## SYNOPSIS
**podman varlink** [OPTIONS]
[**--help**|**-h**]
VARLINK_URI
## DESCRIPTION
Starts the varlink service that allows varlink clients to interact with podman. This should generally be done
with systemd. See _Configuration_ below.
**podman [GLOBAL OPTIONS] [OPTIONS] varlink VARLINK_URI**
## GLOBAL OPTIONS
**--help, -h**
Print usage statement
## OPTIONS
**--timeout, -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 manually and accept the default timeout.
```
$ podman varlink unix:/run/podman/io.projectatomic.podman
```
Run the podman varlink service manually with a 5 second timeout.
```
$ podman varlink --timeout 5000 unix:/run/podman/io.projectatomic.podman
```
## CONFIGURATION
Users of the podman varlink service should enable the _io.projectatomic.podman.socket_ and _io.projectatomic.podman.service_.
This is the preferred method for running the varlink service.
You can do this via systemctl
systemctl enable --now io.projectatomic.podman.socket
