> Produce simple man pages from an executable's `--help` and `--version` output.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Generate a man page for an executable:
|
||
|
|
||
|
`help2man {{executable}}`
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Specify the "name" paragraph in the man page:
|
||
|
|
||
|
`help2man {{executable}} --name {{name}}`
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Specify the section for the man page (defaults to 1):
|
||
|
|
||
|
`help2man {{executable}} --section {{section}}`
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Output to a file instead of stdout:
|
||
|
|
||
|
`help2man {{executable}} --output {{path/to/file}}`
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Display detailed help:
|
||
|
|
||
|
`help2man --help`
