+# This is a prologue that allows to run a perl script as an executable
+# on systems that are compliant to a POSIX version before POSIX:2017.
+# On such systems, the usual invocation of an executable through execlp()
+# or execvp() fails with ENOEXEC if it is a script that does not start
+# with a #! line. The script interpreter mentioned in the #! line has
+# to be /bin/sh, because on GuixSD systems that is the only program that
+# has a fixed file name. The second line is essential for perl and is
+# also useful for editing this file in Emacs. The next two lines below
+# are valid code in both sh and perl. When executed by sh, they re-execute
+# the script through the perl program found in $PATH. The '-x' option
+# is essential as well; without it, perl would re-execute the script
+# through /bin/sh. When executed by perl, the next two lines are a no-op.

+Usage: $ME [OPTIONS] FILE...
+
+Detect any instance in FILE of a useless "if" test before a free call, e.g.,
+"if (p) free (p);". Any such test may be safely removed without affecting
+the semantics of the C code in FILE. Use --name=FOO --name=BAR to also
+detect free-like functions named FOO and BAR.
+
+OPTIONS:
+
+ --list print only the name of each matching FILE (\\0-terminated)
+ --name=N add name N to the list of \'free\'-like functions to detect;
+ may be repeated
+
+ --help display this help and exit
+ --version output version information and exit
+
+Exit status:
+
+ 0 one or more matches
+ 1 no match
+ 2 an error
+
+EXAMPLE:
+
+For example, this command prints all removable "if" tests before "free"
+and "kfree" calls in the linux kernel sources:
+
+ git ls-files -z |xargs -0 $ME --name=kfree
