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