+.TH tripemon 1 "4 October 2005" "Straylight/Edgeware" "TrIPE: Trivial IP Encryption"
+.SH "NAME"
+tripemon \- graphical monitor for tripe
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.B tripemon
+.RB [ \-d
+.IR dir ]
+.RB [ \-a
+.IR socket ]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+The
+.B tripemon
+program is a fairly simple graphical monitor program for TrIPE. It's
+not ever-so user-friendly in some ways, but it works fairly well. A
+perusal of
+.BR tripe-admin (5)
+would help you understand it better. That said, describing the program
+in detail is probably less interesting than letting you explore it for
+yourself.
+.PP
+The command-line options available are:
+.TP
+.B "\-h, \-\-help"
+Writes a brief description of the command-line options available to
+standard output and exits with status 0.
+.TP
+.B "\-v, \-\-version"
+Writes tripe's version number to standard output and exits with status
+0.
+.TP
+.B "\-u, \-\-usage"
+Writes a brief usage summary to standard output and exits with status 0.
+.TP
+.BI "\-d, \-\-directory=" dir
+Make
+.I dir
+the current directory, before doing anything else. Note that all the
+other filenames (e.g., the log output file) are relative to this
+directory. The default directory, if this option is not specified, is
+taken from the environment variable
+.BR TRIPEDIR ;
+if that's not defined either, a default default of
+.BR /var/lib/tripe
+is used.
+.TP
+.BI "\-a, \-\-admin=" socket
+If connecting to a running server, connect to the socket named
+.IR socket ;
+if running a new server, instruct it to listen for admin
+connections on
+.IR socket .
