Usage
go-md2man [-in=/path/to/md/file]

Overview
go-md2man converts standard markdown formatted documents into manpages. It is written purely in Go so as to reduce dependencies on 3rd party libs.
By default, the input is stdin and the output is stdout.
Options
-
-in=file -
Path to markdown file to be processed.
Defaults to stdin.
-
-out=file -
Path to output processed file.

Examples
Convert the markdown file go-md2man.1.md into a manpage:
go-md2man < go-md2man.1.md > go-md2man.1
Same, but using command line arguments instead of shell redirection:
go-md2man -in=go-md2man.1.md -out=go-md2man.1
