     .HS
                              Help start.
               All text from here up to the macro
               .HE
     .TH [first second third fourth fifth]
               Header.
               This is the first macro to appear in any manual page.
               Its optional arguments are used in the header and footer of the manual
               page, as follows:
     first
                              The name of the manual page.
               It appears in the left and right corners of each page's header.
     second
                              This argument gives the section of the UNIX manual that holds the
               manual page.
     third
                              This argument appears in the center of each page's footer.
               It usually names the category of item that this manual page is documenting.
     fourth
                              This appears in the lower-left corner of each page.
     fifth
                              This appears in the center of each page's header.
     .TP [indentation]
               Tagged paragraph.
               This macro resembles the macro
               .IP,
               except that it uses first line of subsequent text as the paragraph's stub.

               .TH;
               if you wish to reset them, do so
               after
               you have invoked macro
               .TH:
     IN
                              The default indentation.
     LL
                              The default line length.
     PD
                              The default distance between paragraphs.
