Package: mt-daapd
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi, Julien.

It seems that mt-daapd doesn't include a manpage, which is a real pain
in the neck. Attached here is a quick'n'dirty manpage that I wrote for
it.

Please, include it asap.


Hope this helps, Rogério Brito.

.TH MT-DAAPD "8" "October 2008" "System Administration Utilities" "Music Server 
via DAAPd"
.SH NAME
mt-daapd: server of music files by the DAAPd protocol (aka iTunes protocol)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mt-daapd
[\fIoptions\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B mt-daapd
command.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
\fBmt-daapd\fP is a program that serves music files via the DAAPd
protocol (also known as the protocol that iTunes uses to share its song
libraries).
.PP
mt-daapd is a daemon (which means that it works in background, usually)
and the user interface is provided by a webserver running at the
server's port 3689 (which is the usual port for DAAPd queries). This
user interface is accessible via a browser with connections to, for
example, <http://127.0.0.1:3689/>. Authentication is needed and the
password is included in the configuration file for mt-daapd.
