`$this_program' generates a man page out of `--help' and `--version' output.
Usage: $this_program [OPTION]... EXECUTABLE
-n, --name=STRING use `STRING' as the description for the NAME paragraph
-s, --section=SECTION use `SECTION' as the section for the man page
-i, --include=FILE include material from `FILE'
-I, --opt-include=FILE include material from `FILE' if it exists
-o, --output=FILE send output to `FILE'
-N, --no-info suppress pointer to Texinfo manual
--help print this help, then exit
--version print version number, then exit
EXECUTABLE should accept `--help' and `--version' options.
Report bugs to <bug-help2man\@gnu.org>.
