| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 1 Help2man is a tool for automatically generating simple manual pages |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 2 from program output. |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 3 |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 4 Although manual pages are optional for GNU programs other projects, |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 5 such as Debian require them (see Man Pages in GNU Coding Standards). |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 6 |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 7 This program is intended to provide an easy way for software authors |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 8 to include a manual page in their distribution without having to |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 9 maintain that document. |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 10 |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 11 Given a program which produces reasonably standard "--help" and |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 12 "--version" outputs, help2man can re-arrange that output into |
| Hans-G?nter@24640 | 13 something which resembles a manual page. |
