    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>

      The <command>goa-daemon</command> program provides the

      <emphasis>org.gnome.OnlineAccounts</emphasis> name on the

      session message bus. Users or administrators should never need

      to start this daemon as it will be automatically started by

      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dbus-daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

      whenever an application sends a D-Bus message to the

      <emphasis>org.gnome.OnlineAccounts</emphasis> name on the

      session bus.
