Listing 2: man page for revised Indir

NAME
lndir - Make links for a Tree

SYNOPSIS
lndir [-v] [-u] [-s] [-f regexp] [-i dirs] source  [ destination ]

DESCRIPTION
lndir is modelled after the X11 tool of the same name, with more flexi-
bility and speed.  It is designed to use the gnu fileutils, where cp has
an option to make multiple links of a file.  It has a number of useful
enhancements over lndir.

With no options or incorrect options, lndir present its usage:
