Re: [help-gengetopt] convert ggo file to man page

[Yegor Yefremov]

It is the smallest problem ;-) It is older version at our public repo.
I've locally changed "Usage examples" to "Examples", so I get EXAMPLES
section. But the examples itself look like this in hwtest --help:

hwtest --cycles=1 --usb --usbmntdev=/dev/sda1
execute USB test for the first detected mass storage device

and so they look in man page:

hwtest --cycles=1 --usb --usbmntdev=/dev/sda1 execute USB test for the
first detected mass storage device
