=head1 DESCRIPTION
terminal using nroff(1), normally via man(1), or printing using troff(1).
I<input> is the file to read for POD source (the POD can be embedded in
-code). If I<input> isn't given, it defaults to STDIN. I<output>, if given,
-is the file to which to write the formatted output. If I<output> isn't
-given, the formatted output is written to STDOUT.
-
-B<--section>, B<--release>, B<--center>, B<--date>, and B<--official> can be
-used to set the headers and footers to use; if not given, Pod::Man will
+code). If I<input> isn't given, it defaults to C<STDIN>. I<output>, if
+given, is the file to which to write the formatted output. If I<output>
+isn't given, the formatted output is written to C<STDOUT>. Several POD
+files can be processed in the same B<pod2man> invocation (saving module
+load and compile times) by providing multiple pairs of I<input> and
+I<output> files on the command line.
+
+B<--section>, B<--release>, B<--center>, B<--date>, and B<--official> can
+be used to set the headers and footers to use; if not given, Pod::Man will
assume various defaults. See below or L<Pod::Man> for details.
-B<pod2man> assumes that your *roff formatters have a fixed-width font named
-CW. If yours is called something else (like CR), use B<--fixed> to specify
-it. This generally only matters for troff output for printing. Similarly,
-you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and bold italic fixed-width
-output.

+for printing. Similarly, you can set the fonts used for bold, italic, and
+bold italic fixed-width output.
Besides the obvious pod conversions, Pod::Man, and therefore pod2man also
takes care of formatting func(), func(n), and simple variable references
Set the left-hand footer string to this value. By default, the modification
date of the input file will be used, or the current date if input comes from
-STDIN.

=item B<--fixed>=I<font>

=item B<--fixeditalic>=I<font>

since most fixed-width fonts only have an oblique version, not an italic
-version). Defaults to CI. Only matters for troff(1) output.

=item B<--fixedbolditalic>=I<font>
Bold italic (probably actually oblique) version of the fixed-width font.
-Pod::Man doesn't assume you have this, and defaults to CB. Some systems
-(such as Solaris) have this font available as CX. Only matters for troff(1)
-output.

=item B<-l>, B<--lax>
-Don't complain when required sections are missing. Not currently used, as
-POD checking functionality is not yet implemented in Pod::Man.
+No longer used. B<pod2man> used to check its input for validity as a
+manual page, but this should now be done by L<podchecker(1)> instead.
+Accepted for backward compatibility; this option no longer does anything.
+
+=item B<-n> I<name>, B<--name>=I<name>
+
+Set the name of the manual page to I<name>. Without this option, the manual
+name is set to the uppercased base name of the file being converted unless
+the manual section is 3, in which case the path is parsed to see if it is a
+Perl module path. If it is, a path like C<.../lib/Pod/Man.pm> is converted
+into a name like C<Pod::Man>. This option, if given, overrides any
+automatic determination of the name.
+
+Note that this option is probably not useful when converting multiple POD
+files at once. The convention for Unix man pages for commands is for the
+man page title to be in all-uppercase even if the command isn't.
=item B<-o>, B<--official>
Set the default header to indicate that this page is part of the standard
Perl release, if B<--center> is not also given.
+=item B<-q> I<quotes>, B<--quotes>=I<quotes>
+
+Sets the quote marks used to surround CE<lt>> text to I<quotes>. If
+I<quotes> is a single character, it is used as both the left and right
+quote; if I<quotes> is two characters, the first character is used as the
+left quote and the second as the right quoted; and if I<quotes> is four
+characters, the first two are used as the left quote and the second two as
+the right quote.
+
+I<quotes> may also be set to the special value C<none>, in which case no
+quote marks are added around CE<lt>> text (but the font is still changed for
+troff output).
+
=item B<-r>, B<--release>
Set the centered footer. By default, this is the version of Perl you run
use 1m instead of 8, or some mix of both. About the only section numbers
that are reliably consistent are 1, 2, and 3.
-By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in .pm in which case
-section 3 will be selected.
+By default, section 1 will be used unless the file ends in C<.pm>, in
+which case section 3 will be selected.
+
+=item B<--stderr>
+
+By default, B<pod2man> puts any errors detected in the POD input in a POD
+ERRORS section in the output manual page. If B<--stderr> is given, errors
+are sent to standard error instead and the POD ERRORS section is
+suppressed.
+
+=item B<-u>, B<--utf8>
+
+By default, B<pod2man> produces the most conservative possible *roff
+output to try to ensure that it will work with as many different *roff
+implementations as possible. Many *roff implementations cannot handle
+non-ASCII characters, so this means all non-ASCII characters are converted
+either to a *roff escape sequence that tries to create a properly accented
+character (at least for troff output) or to C<X>.
+
+This option says to instead output literal UTF-8 characters. If your
+*roff implementation can handle it, this is the best output format to use
+and avoids corruption of documents containing non-ASCII characters.
+However, be warned that *roff source with literal UTF-8 characters is not
+supported by many implementations and may even result in segfaults and
+other bad behavior.
+
+Be aware that, when using this option, the input encoding of your POD
+source must be properly declared unless it is US-ASCII or Latin-1. POD
+input without an C<=encoding> command will be assumed to be in Latin-1,
+and if it's actually in UTF-8, the output will be double-encoded. See
+L<perlpod(1)> for more information on the C<=encoding> command.
+
+=item B<-v>, B<--verbose>
+
+Print out the name of each output file as it is being generated.

-errno, a full list of the possible errno values should be given here.
