| 22 | -verbose *level* |
| 23 | The desired level of verbosity to use: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | 1 : print SYNOPSIS only |
| 26 | 2 : print SYNOPSIS sections and any OPTIONS/ARGUMENTS sections |
| 27 | 3 : print the entire manpage (similar to running pod2text) |
| 28 | |
| 29 | -pathlist *dirlist* |
| 30 | Specifies one or more directories to search for the input file |
| 31 | if it was not supplied with an absolute path. Each directory |
| 32 | path in the given list should be separated by a ':' on Unix (';' |
| 33 | on MSWin32 and DOS). |
| 34 | |
| 35 | *file* The pathname of a file containing pod documentation to be output |
| 36 | in usage mesage format (defaults to standard input). |

| 38 | DESCRIPTION |

| 40 | and will print the corresponding usage message. If no input file is |
| 522e45eb |
41 | specified than standard input is read. |
