NAME

       pod2usage - print usage messages from embedded pod docs in files

       -man    Print this command's manual page and exit.

       -exit exitval
	       The exit status value to return.

       -output outfile
	       The output file to print to. If the special names "-" or ">&1" or ">&STDOUT" are used then standard output is used. If ">&2" or

		   1 : print SYNOPSIS only

		   3 : print the entire manpage (similar to running pod2text)

       -pathlist dirlist
	       Specifies one or more directories to search for the input file if it was not supplied with an absolute path. Each directory path in

       file    The pathname of a file containing pod documentation to be output in usage message format (defaults to standard input).

DESCRIPTION

       pod2usage will read the given input file looking for pod documentation and will print the corresponding usage message.  If no input file is
       specified then standard input is read.
