Description

help2man is a command-line tool that automatically generates simple manual pages (man pages) from a program’s –help and –version output. It is designed to help developers produce basic documentation for their commands without having to write these pages by hand.

In short: help2man reads the help and version information of an executable, reorganizes this information, and creates a standard man page, which is particularly useful in GNU/Linux distributions.
