kdemangen.pl1
Automatically create a draft manpage for a kde app
Usage
kdemangen.pl /path/to/application
Overview
kdemangen.pl will automatically create a draft manpage for a KDE application. Manpages are always better when hand-tailored, but this should give you a fairly good start.
To create the manpage, it will use the --author and --help-all output for the application passed on the command line. It will also use the description in the Debian control file if one is available. To make use of this additional feature, you must run kdemangen.pl from within the debian/ subdirectory of the application sources.
The new manpage will be written to standard output.
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
Warning
This utility will only work for a full KDE application that uses KCmdLineArgs (which most full KDE applications do).
Examples
cd /path/to/kde/srcs/kdeedu/debian
