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.
