For example look at the manpage from the hello package. It is a good base and you just have to customize it with your command line switches. Then just put a simple description of the command, adapt the rest to fit your needs and thats it. You can drop the REPORTING BUGS section since we have reportbug. Maybe look at http://www.schweikhardt.net/man_page_howto.html Kind regards Nico -- Nico Golde - JAB: nion@jabber.ccc.de | GPG: 0x73647CFF http://www.ngolde.de | http://nion.modprobe.de/blog/ Forget about that mouse with 3/4/5 buttons - gimme a keyboard with 103/104/105 keys!
