Description

Creates manual pages from a program's help output. It is commonly used by maintainers to generate basic man pages for command-line tools that already provide useful --help text.

It is useful for packaging, documentation, release preparation, and projects that want standard Unix manual pages with less manual writing. Generated pages should still be reviewed for clarity, accuracy, and useful examples.
