Package: ipmitool
Version: 1.8.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
ipmievd is missing a manual page. I created one, which is attached.
When included upstream, the change to debian/rules can be reverted.
There is also a minor spelling mistake in src/ipmievd.c: in the
synopsis, the option to not daemonize was '-d', but should be '-s'.
During compile, there's also a warning about IPMI_CHANNEL_MEDIUM_IPMB
being redefined. This is because include/ipmitool/ipmi_intf.h is
included *before* linux/include/linux/ipmi.h, so the #undef is useless.
A fix could be to only include the files condifionally or wrap them in
an '#ifndef SOME_IPMI_SYMBOL ... #endif' block.

+ipmievd \- IPMI event daemon
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.LP
+\fBipmitool\fP [\fB-hvs\fP]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.LP
+\fBipmievd\fP is a daemon which will listen for events from the BMC that are
being sent to the SEL and also log those messages to syslog.
+By default when run (as root) with no arguments it will daemonize and poll on
the OpenIPMI device waiting for an event notification.
+Upon receipt of an event it will log it to syslog with the \fILOG_LOCAL4\fP
facility.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.LP
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR
+Get basic usage help from the command line.
+.TP
+\fB\-v\fR
+Increase verbose output level.
+This option may be specified multiple times to increase the level of debug
output.
+.TP
+\fB-s\fR
+Do not daemonize.
+Without this option, \fBipmievd\fP will fork to become a background process.
+.SH "FILES"
+.TP
+.I /dev/ipmi0
+This character device file is used by the OpenIPMI kernel driver.
