Phase 03 Plan 02: Documentation & Packaging Summary

Hand-written troff man page with all CLI flags and examples, plus cargo-deb/rpm packaging config and crates.io metadata

Performance

• Duration: 2 min
• Started: 2026-03-22T04:47:49Z
• Completed: 2026-03-22T04:49:30Z
• Tasks: 2
• Files modified: 3

Accomplishments

• Complete man page (144 lines) with NAME, SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, INTERACTIVE KEYS, EXAMPLES, EXIT STATUS, REQUIREMENTS, SEE ALSO, and AUTHORS sections
• Package metadata added for crates.io compatibility (description, license, repository, keywords, categories)
• cargo-deb and cargo-generate-rpm configurations install both binary and man page to standard paths
• MIT LICENSE file created at workspace root

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Create hand-written man page - 242bf7e (feat)
2. Task 2: Add package metadata and deb/rpm config - 1d8e933 (feat)

Files Created/Modified

• doc/tcptop.1 - Hand-written troff man page with all CLI flags, 5 usage examples, eBPF requirements
• tcptop/Cargo.toml - Added crates.io metadata fields and [package.metadata.deb]/[package.metadata.generate-rpm] sections
• LICENSE - MIT license file for cargo package compliance

Decisions Made

• Man page placed at doc/tcptop.1 (workspace root level) per plan specification and RESEARCH.md recommendation
• MIT license with "tcptop contributors" as holder per plan specification

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

Issues Encountered

None

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

• Man page is ready for packaging; cargo-deb and cargo-generate-rpm configs reference it correctly
• crates.io metadata is complete for cargo install tcptop path
• Package generation requires cargo install cargo-deb and cargo install cargo-generate-rpm build tools
