Package: rtmpdump
Version: 2.4+20111222.git4e06e21-1
Severity: minor

the rtmpsuck and rtmpsrv don't have man pages that explain how to use
them. this is especially bad as both programs ignore the --help or -h
options on command line. (a short look at the source code suggests it at
least supports a -z option for debugging.)

there seems to be some kind of commands rtmpsuck takes at runtime from
stdin, but they're single character.

when writing the man page, please consider including the iptables rules
required for running rtmpsuck.

this bug report corresponds to the binary-without-manapge section in the
package's lintian report[1] and secton 12.1 in the debian policy[2].
