|
||||
> 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}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Specify the source, or footer, of the man page:
|
||||
|
||||
`help2man {{executable}} --source {{source}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Specify a custom `--version` option for the executable:
|
||||
|
||||
`help2man {{executable}} --version-string {{version}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Include additional information from a file if it exists:
|
||||
|
||||
`help2man {{executable}} --opt-include {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Output to a file instead of stdout:
|
||||
|
||||
`help2man {{executable}} --output {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||
|
||||
- Display detailed help:
|
||||
|
||||
`help2man --help`
