+sadt - simple DEP-8 test runner
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<sadt> [I<options>] [I<test-name>...]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<sadt> is a simple implementation of DEP-8 (“automatic as-installed package
+testing”) test runner.
+
+It is your responsibility to satisfy tests' dependencies. B<sadt> won't
+attempt to install any missing packages. If a test's dependencies cannot be
+satisfied by packages that are currently installed, the test will be skipped.
+
+B<sadt> won't build the package even if a test declares the B<build-needed>
+restriction. Instead, such a test will be skipped. However, you can build the
+package manually, and then tell B<sadt> to assume that the package is already
+built using the B<-b>/B<--built-source-tree>.
+
+B<sadt> doesn't implement any virtualisation arrangements, therefore it skips
+tests that declare the B<breaks-testbed> restriction.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<-v>, B<--verbose>
+
+Make the output more verbose.
+
+=item B<-b>, B<--built-source-tree>
+
+Assume that the source tree is already built.
+This is equivalent to B<--ignore-restriction=build-needed>.
+
+=item B<--run-autodep8>, B<--no-run-autodep8>
+
+Control whether to run autodep8(1) to determine the tests to run.
+By default, autodep8 will be run.
+
+=item B<--ignore-restriction>=I<restriction>
+
+Don't skip tests that declare the I<restriction>.
+
+=item B<-h>, B<--help>
