+	Usage: ${0##*/} [options] [directory] [...]
+	Generate slapt-get compatible meta-files for a Slackware package repository.
+
+	Options (all of which are optional):
+	  -b, --blurb		When generating the ChangeLog.txt, prompt for the blurb
+	                        to appear above the individual package log entries, and
+	                        for every ChangeLog.txt entry.
+	  -f, --force		Force rebuild of metdata for all packages.
+	  -h, --help		This help text.
+	  -nc, --no-changelog	No ChangeLog.txt updates.
+	  -nm, --no-md5		No .md5sums checksum cache generation for packages.
+	                        Without checksum cache files, creation of the repository
+	                        CHECKSUMS.md5 file will md5sum every file every time.
+	  -ns, --no-sign	No .asc GPG signature generation for packages, or
+	                        generation of the final CHECKSUMS.md5.asc file.
+	  -v, --version		Display the version and copyright information.
+	  --			Cease option processing and begin argument parsing.
+	Option processing ceases with the first non-option argument or --.
+
+	Arguments (all of which are optional):
+	[directory] [...]	Only process the (space delimited) list of directories
+	                        given on the command line.
