15 .Dt COMMAND 1
16 .\" Here and in other places "COMMAND" and "command" are place holders
17 .\" that should be replaced with the name of the actual command that
18 .\" this is documenting.
19 .Os
20 .Sh NAME
21 .Nm command
22 .Nd short description
23 .Sh SYNOPSIS
24 .Nm
25 .\" Each of the following lines should use the Fl and Ar options to
26 .\" indicate the set of supported options and flags. There should be one
27 .\" option and argument per line. If there are independent ways of
28 .\" invoking the command or independent sub-commands ala zfs(1M) or
29 .\" dladm(1M), there should be a fresh '.Nm' to indicate that and the
30 .\" sub-command should use .Cm.
31 .Sh DESCRIPTION
32 .\" Describe the purpose of the utility, what it does and how it
33 .\" operates. If there are certain privileges or other considerations
34 .\" for using this, indicate that here.
35 .Sh OPTIONS
36 The following options are supported:
37 .Bl -tag -width Ar
38 .It Fl flag1
39 Description of the above flag1
40 .It Fl flag2
41 Description of the above flag2
42 .El
43 .Sh OPERANDS
44 .\" This should be a list of non-flag arguments that are supported
45 .\" and what they do in the following form.
46 The following operands are supported:
47 .Bl -tag -width Ar
48 .It Ar oper1
49 Description of what oper1 is.
50 .It Ar oper2
51 Description of what oper2 is.
52 .El
53 .Sh EXIT STATUS
54 .\" This section should indicate the set of exit codes one can expect.
55 .\" In general, do not use the '.Ex' macro and instead call out the
56 .\" different error values. One would expect at least a difference
57 .\" between an error during execution and an error in the usage.
58 .\" The following exit values are returned:
59 .\" .Bl -tag -width Ds
60 .\" .It Sy 0
61 .\" All input files were successfully processed.
62 .\" .It Sy >0
63 .\" An error occurred.
64 .\" .El
65 .Sh EXAMPLES
66 .\" There should be multiple examples present that describe how to use
67 .\" different parts of the command. This section should not be skipped
68 .\" and it's good to have a number of them.

77 .\" .Sh ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
78 .\" If the program reacts to environment variables, most often locale
79 .\" related ones, document those here. If they are just the standard
80 .\" locale ones, use the following text, adjusting it for the exact set
81 .\" of locale specific values that impact it:
82 .\" See
83 .\" .Xr environ 5
84 .\" for descriptions of the following environment variables
85 .\" that affect the execution of
86 .\" .Nm :
87 .\" .Ev LANG ,
88 .\" .Ev LC_ALL ,
89 .\" .Ev LC_MESSAGES ,
90 .\" .Ev LC_NUMERIC ,
91 .\" and
92 .\" .Ev NLSPATH .
93 .\" .Sh CODE SET INDEPENDENCE
94 .\" If there are issues around the code set, indicate so here. See
95 .\" attributes(5).
96 .Sh INTERFACE STABILITY
97 .\" When documenting the stability of commands it's useful to
98 .\" distinguish between the stability of the options and the command's
99 .\" actual output. For most commands, output stability should only be
100 .\" guaranteed if there's an explicit parseable option that controls the
101 .\" type of data. You can use the following template:
102 .\" The command line interface of
103 .\" .Nm
104 .\" is
105 .\" .Sy Committed .
106 .\" .Sy Evolving .
107 .\" .Sy Volatile .
108 .\" .Sy Private .
109 .\" The output of
110 .\" .Nm
111 .\" is
112 .\" .Sy Not-An-Interface
113 .\" and may change at any time.
114 .Sh SEE ALSO
115 .\" List other commands that are related to this. For programs that are
116 .\" are primarily wrappers around libc functionality or a particular
117 .\" library, it's helpful to mention those here so the reader has an
118 .\" idea of what is used to implement this. For example, the sleep
119 .\" command would mention nanosleep(3C).
