help2man

help2man is a command line tool that is used to generate a man page (manual page) for a given command or program. It is primarily designed to create a man page from the --help output of a command or program. The man pages are documentation files that provide detailed information about the usage and functionality of a command or program. help2man makes it easier for developers to create and maintain these man pages by automating the process of generating them. It extracts relevant information from the --help output and formats it into a man page, including command-line options, arguments, and a brief description of the command or program. The generated man pages can be customized using various command line options. help2man supports a wide range of programming languages and can be used for both simple and complex commands or programs. It also provides options to handle formatting, section numbering, and header customization. The generated man pages are compatible with the standard Unix man page format, making them suitable for use in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. help2man is a convenient tool for developers who want to ensure that their command line tools have proper documentation for users to refer to.
