+Include file for help2man man page
+
+--locale=C
+
+[name]
+help2man \- generate a simple manual page
+
+[include files]
+Additional material may be included in the generated output with the
+.B \-\-include
+and
+.B \-\-opt\-include
+options. The format is simple:
+
+ [section]
+ text
+
+ /pattern/
+ text
+
+Blocks of verbatim *roff text are inserted into the output either at
+the start of the given
+.BI [ section ]
+(case insensitive), or after a paragraph matching
+.BI / pattern /\fR.
+
+Patterns use the Perl regular expression syntax and may be followed by
+the
+.IR i ,
+.I s
+or
+.I m
+modifiers (see
+.BR perlre (1)).
+
+Lines before the first section or pattern which begin with `\-' are
+processed as options. Anything else is silently ignored and may be
+used for comments, RCS keywords and the like.
+
+The section output order (for those included) is:
+
+ NAME
+ SYNOPSIS
+ DESCRIPTION
+ OPTIONS
+ ENVIRONMENT
+ FILES
+ EXAMPLES
+ \fIother\fR
+ AUTHOR
+ REPORTING BUGS
+ COPYRIGHT
+ SEE ALSO
+
+Any
+.B [name]
+or
+.B [synopsis]
+sections appearing in the include file will replace what would have
+automatically been produced (although you can still override the
+former with
+.B --name
+if required).
+
+Other sections are prepended to the automatically produced output for
+the standard sections given above, or included at
+.I other
+(above) in the order they were encountered in the include file.
+
+[availability]
