Jamulus: Add a man page

[ycollet]

A man page is always a good thing to have :)

Bearing in mind only about 5% of downloads are Linux though :-)

[ycollet]

Argh .... :)

[gilgongo]

No problem doing it if we can find some easy way of keeping it up to date from other sources. Right now though, the bulk of the docs are on GH wiki and they get tweaked quite a bit at the moment. We'd also like to localise the docs at some point too (does man have an i18n feature? Never thought about that...!)

[trebmuh]

jamulus.1 will be the EN man page
jamulus.fr.1 will be the FR man page
...etc

[gilgongo]

OK - but I think the main challenge would be maintaining them over time.

I would add a simple description of what the program does and point to an URL with all the docs.

[trebmuh]

There is certainly a way to auto-generate it from jamulus -h which is much better than an URL alone (how about someone using an old version of jamulus, but reading a new version of the doc on the internet? how about someone setting up an intranet without access to the internet?). That said a "for more info, please visit URL" can be added somewhere in the manpage (at the end).

Ideally, the source code and translation strings that already exist could be used to generate the man pages.

There's also the signal handling I'd expect to be covered in the man page.
