+.Sh TOP
+The top command connects to a running tinc daemon and repeatedly queries its per-node traffic counters.
+It displays a list of all the known nodes in the left-most column,
+and the amount of bytes and packets read from and sent to each node in the other columns.
+By default, the information is updated every second.
+The behaviour of the top command can be changed using the following keys:
+.Bl -tag
+.It Ic s
+Change the interval between updates.
+After pressing the
+.Ic s
+key, enter the desired interval in seconds, followed by enter.
+Fractional seconds are honored.
+Intervals lower than 0.1 seconds are not allowed.
+.It Ic c
+Toggle between displaying current traffic rates (in packets and bytes per second)
+and cummulative traffic (total packets and bytes since the tinc daemon started).
+.It Ic n
+Sort the list of nodes by name.
+.It Ic i
+Sort the list of nodes by incoming amount of bytes.
+.It Ic I
+Sort the list of nodes by incoming amount of packets.
+.It Ic o
+Sort the list of nodes by outgoing amount of bytes.
+.It Ic O
+Sort the list of nodes by outgoing amount of packets.
+.It Ic t
+Sort the list of nodes by sum of incoming and outgoing amount of bytes.
+.It Ic T
+Sort the list of nodes by sum of incoming and outgoing amount of packets.
+.It Ic b
+Show amount of traffic in bytes.
+.It Ic k
+Show amount of traffic in kilobytes.
