+.SH NAME
+rapper \- Raptor RDF parsing and serializing utility
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B rapper
+.RB [ OPTIONS ]
+.IR "INPUT-URI"
+.IR "[INPUT-BASE-URI]"
+.SH EXAMPLE
+.nf
+.B rapper -o ntriples http://planetrdf.com/guide/rss.rdf
+.br
+.B rapper -i rss-tag-soup -o rss-1.0 pile-of-rss.xml http://example.org/base/
+.br
+.B rapper --count http://example.org/index.rdf
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B rapper
+utility allows parsing of RDF content by the
+.B Raptor
+RDF parser toolkit emitting the results as RDF triples in
+a choice of syntaxes. The \fIINPUT-URI\fR can be a file name, '-'
+for standard input or if Raptor is built with a WWW retrieval
+library, a general URI. The optional \fIINPUT-BASE-URI\fR is used as the
+document parser base URI if present otherwise defaults to the \fIINPUT-URI\fR.
+A value of '-' means no base URI.
+.SH OPTIONS
+rapper uses the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
+options starting with two dashes (`-') if supported by the
+getopt_long function. Otherwise the short options are only available.
+.TP
+.B \-h, \-\-help
+Show a summary of the options.
+.TP
+.B \-i, \-\-input FORMAT
+Set the input
+.I FORMAT
+to one of 'rdfxml' (RDF/XML, default), 'ntriples'
+(N-Triples, see below), 'turtle' (Turtle, see below)
+or 'rss-tag-soup' (RSS Tag Soup). The RSS Tag Soup parser
+can turn the many XML RSS formats, Atom 0.3 and Atom 1.0 into RDF
+triples.
+.IP
+The list of
+parsers depends on how libraptor(3) was built. The list of
+supported parsers is given in the help summary given by \-h.
+.TP
+.B \-I, \-\-input-uri URI
+Set the input/parser base
+.I URI
+or use value '-' for no base.
+The default is the INPUT-URI argument value.
+.TP
+.B \-o, \-\-output FORMAT
+Set the output
+.I FORMAT
+to 'ntriples' (N-Triples, default), 'rdfxml' (RDF/XML), 'rdfxml-abbrev'
+(RDF/XML with abbreviations) or 'rss-1.0' (RSS 1.0, also an RDF/XML syntax).
+.IP
+The list of
+serializers depends on how libraptor(3) was built. The list of
+supported serializers is given in the help summary given by \-h.
+.TP
+.B \-O, \-\-output-uri URI
+Set the output/serializer base
+.I URI
+or use value '-' for no base.
+The default is the input base uri, either set by the argument
+INPUT-BASE-URI or via options
+.B \-I, \-\-input-uri URI
+.TP
+.B \-c, \-\-count
+Only count the triples and produce no other output.
+.TP
+.B \-e, \-\-ignore-errors
+Ignore errors, do not emit the messages and try to continue parsing.
+.TP
+.B \-f, \-\-feature FEATURE[=VALUE]
+Set a parser or serializer feature
+.I FEATURE
+to a value, or to 1 if
+.I VALUE
+is omitted,
+Use \-f help to get lists of valid parser and serializer features.
+.IP
+If the form \-f 'xmlns:\fIprefix\fP=\(dq\fIuri\fP\(dq' is used,
+the prefix and namespace uri given will be set for serializing.
+The syntax matches XML in that either or both of \fIprefix\fP
+or \fIuri\fP can be omitted.
+.TP
+.B \-g, \-\-guess
+Guess the parser to use from the source-URI rather than use
+the \-i FORMAT.
+.TP
+.B \-q, \-\-quiet
+No extra information messages.
+.TP
+.B \-r, \-\-replace-newlines
+Replace newlines in multi-line literals with spaces.
+.TP
+.B \-\-show-graphs
+Print graph names (URIs) as they are seen in the input. This only
+has a meaning for parsers that support graph names such as the TRiG parser.
+.TP
+.B \-\-show-namespaces
+Print namespaces as they are seen in the input.
+.TP
+.B \-t, \-\-trace
+Print URIs retrieved during parsing. Especially useful for
+monitoring what the guess and GRDDL parsers are doing.
+.TP
+.B \-w, \-\-ignore-warnings
+Ignore warnings, do not emit the messages.
+.TP
+.B \-v, \-\-version
+Print the raptor version and exit.
