'%s' generates a man page out of '--help' and '--version' output.
Usage: %s [OPTION]... EXECUTABLE
-n, --name=STRING description for the NAME paragraph
-s, --section=SECTION section number for manual page (1, 6, 8)
-m, --manual=TEXT name of manual (User Commands, ...)
-S, --source=TEXT source of program (FSF, Debian, ...)
-L, --locale=STRING select locale (default "C")
-i, --include=FILE include material from 'FILE'
-I, --opt-include=FILE include material from 'FILE' if it exists
-o, --output=FILE send output to 'FILE'
-p, --info-page=TEXT name of Texinfo manual
-N, --no-info suppress pointer to Texinfo manual
--help print this help, then exit
--version print version number, then exit
EXECUTABLE should accept '--help' and '--version' options although
alternatives may be specified using:
