+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+generates a new APKBUILD for use with
+.Xr abuild 1 .
+
+.Bl -tag -width "pkgname-pkgver" -offset indent -compact
+
+.It Fl n Ar NAME
+Specifies the name of the new package. A new directory called
+.Ar NAME
+will be created in the current directory, with the APKBUILD file.
+
+.It Fl d Ar DESC
+Specifies the description (pkgdesc=) for the new package.
+
+.It Fl l Ar LICENSE
+Specifies the license under which the new package is distributed. This should
+match an SPDX Identifier.
+
+.It Fl u Ar URL
+Specifies the Web page (url=) for the new package. This should
+.Em not
+be the source package URL; it should be the project's main Web page.
+
+.It Fl c
+Causes
+.Nm
+to additionally copy an init.d script, conf.d file, and sample pre- and post-
+install scripts to the APKBUILD directory. This allows you to have a quick
+start for daemon packages.
+
+.It Fl f
+Forces
+.Nm
+to overwrite an existing APKBUILD, if one already exists in the package
+directory.
+
+.It Fl h
+Displays usage information.
+
+.It Fl s
+Create an automatic SourceForge URL for the package based on its name and
+version. This is only valid if
+.Ar pkgname-pkgver
+is specified on the command line.
+
+.It Ar pkgname-pkgver
+Specify the package name, if not already specified by
+.Fl n .
+If followed by a dash (-) and a valid version string, additionally specify the
+package's version.
+
+.El
+
+
+.Ss Build system type
+
+.Nm
+will try to automatically detect the build system by inspecting the source
+directory if
+.Ar source_url
+is specified, and write out typical build instructions for that build system.
+If you do not specify the source URL, or you want to override auto-detection,
+you may specify one of the following four flags:
+
+.Bl -tag -width "-a" -offset indent -compact
+
+.It Fl a
+Specifies that the package uses autotools. The APKBUILD will contain a typical
+invocation of ./configure, make, and make install.
+
+.It Fl C
+Specifies that the package uses CMake. CMake will be added to the makedepends
+and a typical CMake invocation will be added to the APKBUILD.
+
+.It Fl m
+Specifies that the package uses Meson. A typical Meson and Ninja invocation
+will be added to the APKBUILD.
+
+.It Fl p
+Specifies that the package uses a Perl Makefile.PL file. The CPAN template
+will be used.
+
+.It Fl y
+Specifies that the package uses a Python setup.py build system. Python will be
+added to the makedepends.
+
+.El
+
+If you do not specify any option, and you do not specify the source URL, the
+generated APKBUILD file will not contain any build instructions.
+
+
+.Sh FILES
+
+All files generated will be placed in a
+.Pa pkgname
+directory inside the current working directory, with
+.Pa pkgname
+being created if it does not exist.
+
+.Bl -tag -width "pkgname.post-install" -compact
+
+.It Pa APKBUILD
+.Nm
+will create
+.Pa APKBUILD
+with the details gathered from the invocation of
+.Nm ,
+and introspection of the downloaded package source if
+.Ar source_url
+is provided.
+
+For more information about APKBUILD and its format, see
+.Xr APKBUILD 5 .
+
+.It Pa pkgname.initd
+If
+.Fl c
+is given,
+.Nm
+will create
+.Pa pkgname.initd
+with example data to assist in the creation of an init.d script for a daemon.
+
+.It Pa pkgname.confd
+If
+.Fl c
+is given,
+.Nm
+will create
+.Pa pkgname.confd
+to assist in the creation of a conf.d file for a daemon, used by init.d
+scripts. conf.d files are used to configure init.d scripts; for more
+information, see
+.Xr openrc 8
+and
+.Xr rc_config 3 .
+
+.It Pa pkgname.pre-install
+If
+.Fl c
+is given,
+.Nm
+will create
+.Pa pkgname.pre-install ,
+the contents of which will be run by
+.Xr apk 8
+before the package is installed.
+
+.It Pa pkgname.post-install
+If
+.Fl c
+is given,
+.Nm
+will create
+.Pa pkgname.post-install ,
+the contents of which will be run by
+.Xr apk 8
+after the package is successfully installed.
+
+For more information about apk install hooks, consult the
+.Xr apk 8
+manual.
