Hi
Thank you.
I guess the main reason for the lack of documentation is that it is not
provided by upstream. This was the case also for tightvnc, vnc4 and vnc(3).
I wrote some documentation for those other packages but I guess it was
never done for tigervnc.
I do not think you made anything wrong.
Cheers
// Ola
