Package: vls
Version: 0.5.4+cvs20031028-6
Severity: normal

Hello Sam,

the vls manpage is insufficient:

SYNOPSIS
       vlc
It should be vls.

DESCRIPTION

       vls does not accept any  arguments.  However,  it  will  look  for  its
       vls.cfg  configuration file in the current directory when launched, or,
       when not found, in /etc/videolan/vls/.

vls --help tell a different story:
VideoLAN Server 0.5.4+cvs20031028 (May 14 2006) - (c) 1999-2003 VideoLAN

 vls [options] target

 options:
   -v             --verbose      verbosity (v, vv, vvv)
   -h             --help         display this help
   -d <ip[:port]> --destination  ip and port destination
   -f <file>      --file <file>  configuration file
   -t <number>    --ttl <number> ttl value
   -l             --loop         looping at end of program
                  --log <file>   log to <file>

Furthermore the format of vls.cfg is not documented nor a pointer
to the documentation is provided.

Cheers,
