When run without any arguments, wkhtmltopdf dumps over a page of usage information to STDERR. This is hard to read in a regular sized terminal, and to pipe to less one must redirect STDERR, thus: wkhtmltopdf 2>&1 | less It turns out that a manpage is offered: $ wkhtmltopdf -H 2>&1 | grep manpage --manpage Output program man page $ When choosing this option, the output is appropriately formatted. Thus `wkhtmltopdf --manpage | less` is ugly. This displays fine: $ wkhtmltopdf --manpage > foo $ man ./foo This is a feature request to build the manpage at installation time, add it to the appropriate /usr/share/man and have it handles by makewhatis Reproducible: Always
Man pages now get installed in 0.12.1.2.
