+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol offers total address
+transparency between processes which allows applications in a clustered computer
+environment to communicate quickly and reliably with each other, regardless of
+their location within the cluster.
+
+TIPC originated at the telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson. The first open
+source version of TIPC was created in 2000 when Ericsson released its first
+Linux version of TIPC. TIPC was introduced in the mainline Linux kernel in 2006
+and is now widely used both within and outside of Ericsson.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-h" , " --help"
+Show help about last given command. For example
+.B tipc bearer --help
+will show bearer help and
+.B tipc --help
+will show general help. The position of the option in the string is irrelevant.
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-j", " \-json"
+Output results in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).
+
+.TP
+.BR "\-p", " \-pretty"
+The default JSON format is compact and more efficient to parse but hard for most users to read.
