83
84The exit status value to return.
85
86=item B<-output> I<outfile>
87
88The output file to print to. If the special names "-" or ">&1" or ">&STDOUT"
89are used then standard output is used. If ">&2" or ">&STDERR" is used then
90standard error is used.
91
92=item B<-verbose> I<level>
93
94The desired level of verbosity to use:
95
96 1 : print SYNOPSIS only
97 2 : print SYNOPSIS sections and any OPTIONS/ARGUMENTS sections
98 3 : print the entire manpage (similar to running pod2text)
99
100=item B<-pathlist> I<dirlist>
101
102Specifies one or more directories to search for the input file if it
103was not supplied with an absolute path. Each directory path in the given
104list should be separated by a ':' on Unix (';' on MSWin32 and DOS).
105
106=item I<file>
107
108The pathname of a file containing pod documentation to be output in
109usage mesage format (defaults to standard input).
110

112
113=head1 DESCRIPTION
114
115B<pod2usage> will read the given input file looking for pod
116documentation and will print the corresponding usage message.
117If no input file is specifed than standard input is read.
118
119B<pod2usage> invokes the B<pod2usage()> function in the B<Pod::Usage>
120module. Please see L<Pod::Usage/pod2usage()>.
