+@command{mds-meta} is a meta-display server.
+It creates or joins a named meta-display server,
+and creates and alternative values for
+@env{MDS_DISPLAY}. Any server connecting to
+this alternative @env{MDS_DISPLAY} connects
+to this meta-display server. This can be used
+to make servers shared between display server
+instances.
+
+@command{mds-meta} uses the environment variable
+@env{MDS_METADISPLAY} to acquire the name of the
+meta-display server instance it should join or
+create. If @env{MDS_METADISPLAY} has not been set
+it is treated as having an empty string for its
+value which is a valid meta-display server
+instance name.
+
+@command{mds-meta} works by connecting to the
+running display server instance, the display,
+and create a new display server instance, the
+meta-display. Messages passed via the meta-display's
+socket is forward to the display, and messages
+passed to via the display to @command{mds-meta}
+is send to the appropriate server. @command{mds-meta}
+manages interception in the same way as
+@command{mds-server} and @command{mds-remote}.
+
+If @command{mds-meta} creates a new meta-display,
+rather than joining an existing meta-display, it
+will spawn @file{~/.mdsmetainitrc} to let you
+start the shared servers.
