+.SH NAME
+facter \- Collect and display facts about the system
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B facter
+.RI [ options ]
+.RI [ fact ]
+.RI ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B facter
+collects and displays facts about the current system.
+.PP
+The library behind
+.B facter
+is easy to expand, making
+.B facter
+an easy way to collect information about a system from within the
+shell or within Ruby.
+.PP
+If no facts are specifically asked for, then all facts will be
+returned.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
+options starting with two dashes (`-').
+A summary of options is included below.
+.TP
+.B \-\-help
+Show summary of options.
+.TP
+.B \-\-version
+Show version of program.
+.TP
+.B \-\-puppet
+Load the Puppet libraries, thus allowing Facter to load Puppet-specific facts.
+.TP
+.B \-\-debug
+Enable debugging.
+.TP
+.B \-\-yaml
+Emit facts in YAML format.
+
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.BI facter
+Display a list of all facts
+.TP
+.BI facter \ kernel
+Display the
+.I kernel
+fact
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR puppetd (8),
+.BR puppetmasterd (8),

+.URL http://reductivelabs.com/products/facter/ "The facter homepage"
+.SH BUGS
+.URL http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1365 "Reductivelabs issue 1365"
+.br
+facter can display a single fact only if that fact is generated by a
+file with the same name as the fact.  The
+.I kernel
+fact resides in the
+.I kernel.rb
+file, and will work, but the facts
+.I lsbdistcodename,
+.I lsbdistid,
+.I lsbdistrelease,
+reside in the
+.I lsb.rb
+file, and will therefore not work as single facts.
