help2man is a tool for automatically generating simple manual pages from
|
|
|
|
|
program output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is intended to provide an easy way for software authors to include a
|
|
|
|
|
manual page in their distribution without having to maintain that
|
|
|
|
|
document.

Given a program which produces reasonably standard --help and --version
|
2001-08-26 18:18:42 -04:00
|
|
|
outputs, help2man will attempt to re-arrange that output into something
|
|
|
|
|
which resembles a manual page.
