+@subsection ntpsweep help/usage (@option{--help})
+@cindex ntpsweep help
+
+This is the automatically generated usage text for ntpsweep.
+
+The text printed is the same whether selected with the @code{help} option
+(@option{--help}) or the @code{more-help} option (@option{--more-help}). @code{more-help} will print
+the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
+@code{more-help} is disabled on platforms without a working
+@code{fork(2)} function. The @code{PAGER} environment variable is
+used to select the program, defaulting to @file{more}. Both will exit
+with a status code of 0.
