-.TH GPP 1 GPP
-.SH NAME
-gpp - Bash-based preprocessor for anything
-.PP
-gpp: General Preprocessor
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.BR gpp
-.RI [ OPTION ]...
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B gpp
-lets a developer embed directives written in
-.B GNU Bash
-into any text document. These directives are used
-to automate the writting of parts of the document.
-.PP
-The preprocessing directives start with a symbol (or
-text string) specified by the developer. By default
-this symbol is \fB@\fP (at).
-.PP
-Any line starting with \fB@<\fP (where \fB@\fP is
-the selected symbol for preprocessing directives)
-or \fB@>\fP, or is between a line starting with
-\fB@<\fP and a line starting with \fB@>\fP, is parsed
-as a line, written in
-.BR bash (1),
-that is executed during preprocessing. A \fB@<\fP
-line must have an associated \fB@>\fP line somewhere
-after it, all lines between them are parsed as
-preprocessing directives. A \fB@>\fP does however
-not need an associated \fB@<\fP line somewhere before
-it, making \fB@>\fP suitable for single line directives.
-.PP
-Preprocessing directives can also be inline. For this,
-use
-.BI @( COMMAND )
-where
-.I COMMAND
-is the
-.BR bash (1)
-code to run. Additionally,
-.B gpp
-supports variable substitution.
-.BI @{ VARIABLE }
-will be replaces by the value if the variable
-(possibility environment variable)
-.IR VARIABLE .
-.B gpp
-supports all modifiers that
-.BR bash (1)
-supports. For example, if you want the value to be
-included but uppercase you can write
-.BR @{ \fIVARIABLE\fP ^^} ,
-or
-.BI @{ VARIABLE ,,}
-for lowercase.
-.PP
-Everything that is not preprocessing directives is
-threaded as
-.BR echo (1):ed
-lines.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.BR \-s ,\ \-\-symbol \ \fISYMBOL\fP
-Set the prefix symbol for preprocessor directives.
-Defaults to @ (at).
-.TP
-.BR \-e ,\ \-\-encoding \ \fIENCODING\fP
-Specifies the encoding of the file.
-.TP
-.BR \-n ,\ \-\-iterations \ \fIN\fP
-Process the file recursively \fIN\fP times. Defaults to 1 time.
-.TP
-.BR \-u ,\ \-\-unshebang
-Clear the shebang line, remove it if this flag
-is used twice. If used twice, an empty line
-will be inserted after the new first line.
-.TP
-.BR \-i ,\ \-\-input \ \fIFILE\fP
-Select file to process. Defaults to /dev/stdin.
-.TP
-.BR \-o ,\ \-\-output \ \fIFILE\fP
-Select output file. Defaults to /dev/stdout.
-.TP
-.BR \-f ,\ \-\-file \ \fIFILE\fP
-Equivalent to \-i \fIFILE\fP \-o \fIFILE\fP.
-.TP
-.BR \-D ,\ \-\-export \ \fINAME\fP=\fIVALUE\fP
-Set the environment variable \fINAME\fP to hold
-the value \fIVALUE\fP.
-.TP
-.BR \-D ,\ \-\-export \ \fINAME\fP
-Set the environment variable \fINAME\fP to hold
-the value 1.
-.TP
-.BR \-v ,\ \-\-version
-Print program name and version and exit.
-.TP
-.BR \-c ,\ \-\-copying
-Print copyright notice and exit.
-.PP
-Short options must be joined. The value of a flag must
-be in a separate argument from the flag itself.
-.SH RATIONALE
-Programmers need more automation when we write software
-and documentation. An unrestricted preprocessor lets
-you automate just about anything. Of course, it can be
-used for anything, must just writing software and
-documentation. Preprocessing can be used for more than
-automation, it can also be used to increase the flexibility
-of the work.
-.PP
-C is one of the few languages that includes a preprocessor,
-some times it is not enough; and all languages need
-preprocessors.
