+SUMMARY="help2man produces simple manual pages from the ‘--help’ and ‘--version’ output of other commands."
+DESCRIPTION="
+help2man is a tool for automatically generating simple manual pages from \
+program output.
+This program is intended to provide an easy way for software authors to \
+include a manual page in their distribution without having to maintain that \
+document.
+Given a program which produces reasonably standard ‘--help’ and ‘--version’ \
+outputs, help2man can re-arrange that output into something which resembles a \
+manual page.
