Hi Andreas,

Thanks for noticing this...

These aren't for general consumption, they run the CTDB test suite.
Can we assume that someone who wants to run the test suite can run then
with the --help option?  :-)

Otherwise we need to find time to do this...

We have a pending to-do to either take a patch posted to the list back
on 2015-10-10 or consider not installing ctdb_diagnostics.  Some of the
output is useful, some not.  It is something we need to take the time
to revisit.  For now I guess we should just grab Martijn's manpage and
use it.

None of these are invoked directly.  They are internal helpers.  Right
now they get installed into /usr/bin/ but we should move them
somewhere, like /usr/libexec/ctdb/.  We just need time to research the
modern place to put these sorts of things and to do the job properly.

Advice gladly accepted!  :-)

I think there are at most 2 manpages to be written from scratch.

Well, we might also consider writing one for ctdb_natgw, depending on
how we do things in the future... but for now we can consider it to be
a helper that won't be invoked directly.

peace & happiness,
martin
