"""
Information available about Tor from `its manual
<https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en>`_. This provides three
methods of getting this information...

* :func:`~stem.manual.Manual.from_cache` provides manual content bundled with
  Stem. This is the fastest and most reliable method but only as up-to-date as
  Stem's release.

* :func:`~stem.manual.Manual.from_man` reads Tor's local man page for
  information about it.

* :func:`~stem.manual.Manual.from_remote` fetches the latest manual information
  remotely. This is the slowest and least reliable method but provides the most
  recent information about Tor.

Manual information includes arguments, signals, and probably most usefully the
torrc configuration options. For example, say we want a little script that told
us what our torrc options do...

**Module Overview:**

::

  query - performs a query on our cached sqlite manual information
  is_important - Indicates if a configuration option is of particularly common importance.
  download_man_page - Downloads tor's latest man page.

  Manual - Information about Tor available from its manual.
   | |- from_cache - Provides manual information cached with Stem.
   | |- from_man - Retrieves manual information from its man page.
   | +- from_remote - Retrieves manual information remotely from tor's latest manual.
   |
   +- save - writes the manual contents to a given location
