help2man is a tool for automatically generating simple manual pages from program output. It 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 will attempt to re-arrange that output into something which resembles a manual page. Generation of localised pages is supported for: de, el, fi, fr, it, pl, pt_BR, ru, sv and vi. Summary of recent changes: * Updated translations for Finnish, German and French. * New translations for Russian, Italian and Greek. * Preload is now correctly installed into pkglibdir, rather than libdir. * UTF-8 encoding is now used for all manual pages. * Bugfix: don't double encode $date in the header. * Bugfix: update makefile to allow "make install -j" to work. Source code and signature is available for download here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/help2man/help2man-1.38.4.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/help2man/help2man-1.38.4.tar.gz.sig To reduce load on the main server, you can use this redirector service which automatically redirects you to a mirror: http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/help2man/help2man-1.38.4.tar.gz
