Missing manpages for tools #204
Description
The tools are currently installed without respective manpages. Most Linux distributions advise that all executables distributed under /usr/bin et al. have a corresponding manpage installed as well. Packager maintainers are advised to first contact upstream in case the manpages are missing, hence this issue.
Cheers,

We'll have a look at it.
It seems like we have to provide a groff-formatted manpage and install a gzipped version to the man directory of the current install prefix.

You may also use
help2manon the formatted help string of each tool. They can also be created with sphinx if your prefer writing them in plain text.
