+The identity provider needs to call the application on the web. So,
+your client should have a public endpoint on the web.
+
+@deffn function serve-application @var{id} @var{redirect-uri} @var{[#client-name]} @var{[#client-uri]}
+Return a handler for web requests to serve the application manifest
+and the redirection to transmit the authorization code. You should set
+the @var{client-name} to your application name and @var{client-uri} to
+point to where to a presentation of your application.
+@end deffn
+
+The @code{webid-oidc-client-service} program can run a server to serve
+these resources. It is invoked with the following options:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{-h}, or @code{--help}
+prints a summary of the options and exit.
+@item @code{-v}, or @code{--version}
+prints the version of the program and exits.
+@item @code{-i @var{URI}}, or @code{--client-id=@var{URI}}
+sets the global identitifier of the application, which is dereferenced
+to a semantic resource.
+@item @code{-r @var{URI}}, or @code{--redirect-uri=@var{URI}}
+sets the redirection URI.
+@item @code{-n @var{NAME}}, or @code{--client-name=@var{NAME}}
+sets the name of your application, so that it is shown when the user
+gets an authorization. The webid-oidc issuer program that comes with
+this package does not display it, because it could be dishonest, but
+other implementations might.
+@item @code{-u @var{URI}}, or @code{--client-uri=@var{URI}}
+sets an URI for the identity provider to learn more about your app.
+@item @code{-p @var{PORT}}, or @code{--port=@var{PORT}}
+change the port number used by the server. By default, it is set to
+8080.
+@item @code{-l @var{FILE.log}}, or @code{--log-file=@var{FILE.log}}
+let the server dump all its output to @var{FILE.log}.
+@item @code{-e @var{FILE.err}}, or @code{--error-file=@var{FILE.err}}
+let the server dump all its errors to @var{FILE.err}.
+@end table
+
+The program is sensitive to the environment variable @emph{LANG},
+which influences how the program is internationalized to the server
+administrator. This changes the long form of the options, and the
+language in the log files.
