Shouldn't it be:

Receive further commands on the socket special file file. If this option is not specified, localstatedir/run/shepherd/socket is taken when running as root; when running as an unprivileged user, shepherd listens to /run/user/uid/shepherd/socket, where uid is the user’s numerical ID, or to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/shepherd/socket when the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable is defined. 

Rather than:
