# Creates a man page from a C file.
# Comments beginning with `/**` are treated as Groff man, except that
# 'this' is converted to \fIthis\fR, and ''this'' to \fBthis\fR.
# Non-blank lines immediately following a man page comment are treated
# as function signatures or examples and parsed into .Ft, .Fo, .Fa, .Fc. The
# immediately preceding man documentation chunk is printed after the example
# as a comment on it.
# That's about it!
