++.SH DESCRIPTION
++.B gennorm2
++reads text files that define Unicode normalization,
++them, and builds a binary data file.
++.SH OPTIONS
++.TP
++.BR "\-h\fP, \fB\-?\fP, \fB\-\-help"
++Print help about usage and exit.
++.TP
++.BR "\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version"
++Print the version of
++.B gennorm2
++and exit.
++.TP
++.BR "\-c\fP, \fB\-\-copyright"
++Include a copyright notice.
++.TP
++.BR "\-v\fP, \fB\-\-verbose"
++Display extra informative messages during execution.
++.TP
++.BR "\-u\fP, \fB\-\-unicode"
++Specify Unicode version number, such as 5.2.0.
++.TP
++.BI "\-s\fP, \fB\-\-sourcedir" " source\-directory"
++Specify the input directory.
++.TP
++.BI "\-s\fP, \fB\-\-sourcedir" " source\-directory"
++Set the name of the output file.
++.TP
++.BI "\fB\-\-fast"
++optimize the .nrm file for fast normalization,
++which might increase its size  (Writes fully decomposed
++regular mappings instead of delta mappings.
++You should measure the runtime speed to make sure that
++this is a good trade-off.)
