<a name="index-summary-help"></a>
<p>This is the automatically generated usage text for summary.
</p>
<p>The text printed is the same whether selected with the <code>help</code> option
(<samp>--help</samp>) or the <code>more-help</code> option (<samp>--more-help</samp>). <code>more-help</code> will print
the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
<code>more-help</code> is disabled on platforms without a working
<code>fork(2)</code> function. The <code>PAGER</code> environment variable is
used to select the program, defaulting to <samp>more</samp>. Both will exit
with a status code of 0.
