Description

For all shipped binaries/scripts, we should create manpages. help2man tool would be a good start.

Shivani can you check if the python tools have manpages, and if not add them? Suricata-Update, suricatasc and suricatactl.

Actions #7

Updated by Shivani Bhardwaj over 5 years ago

I think I'm halfway through this but wanted to confirm if using Sphinx is the right thing or am I supposed to use help2man as in the description? suricata-update does have a sphinx target to make very detailed man pages, I think suricatasc and suricatactl are the only ones left TBD.

I prefer sphinx based, just like the suricata one. The ticket predates our sphinx use.
