Package: help2man (1.36.4+nmu1)

Automatic manpage generator

Program to create simple man pages from the --help and --version output of other programs.

Since most GNU documentation is now in info format, this provides a way to generate a placeholder man page pointing to that resource while still providing some useful information.

Tags: Implemented in: Perl, User Interface: Command Line, Role: Program, Scope: Utility, Purpose: Data Conversion, Works with: Text, Supports Format: Manpages
