    help2man: a utility to convert --help into man pages
    
    This is used by calibre (and nothing else that I'm aware of, except
    possibly Debian) to automaticaly convert --help and --version output
    into man pages.

+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 resonably standard --help and --version
+outputs, help2man will attempt to re-arrange that output into something
+which resembles a manual page.
