First: manual pages are explained in the Linux Man Page Howto:
http://www.schweikhardt.net/man_page_howto.html

SYNOPSIS for a program without options of course simply contains the
program call:

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B jnoise

If the program doesn't have options, simply state something like: "This
program doesn't have any options." or similar. (z)grep
through /usr/share/man/man1 for examples.
