+The nginx daemon loads its runtime configuration from @var{config-file}.
+Log files are written to @var{log-directory} and temporary runtime data
+files are written to @var{run-directory}. For proper operation, these
+arguments should match what is in @var{config-file} to ensure that the
+directories are created when the service is activated.
