DESCRIPTION
valgrind is a flexible program for debugging and profiling
Linux-x86 executables. It consists of a core, which pro?
vides a synthetic x86 CPU in software, and a series of
"tools", each of which is a debugging or profiling tool.
The architecture is modular, so that new tools can be cre?
ated easily and without disturbing the existing structure.
I'm getting '?' characters instead of hypens when words are split.
My main comment is that I wouldn't have given nearly as much detail. I
would have just given the basics and then pointed at the user manual. I
definitely wouldn't have described the debugging options. I'm just
worried about double maintenance. (It would be nice to auto-generate the
man page from the manual section describing the command line args.)
But I don't want to be too negative, it's good to have a man page.
