-"""
-This script is a helper for this project's Meson buildsystem, to generate
-manpages as mdbook markdown for nix3 CLI commands. It is an analogue to an
-inline sequence of bash commands in the autoconf+Make buildsystem, which works
-around a limitation in `nix eval --write-to`, in that it refuses to write to any
-directory that already exists.
-
-Basically, this script is a glorified but hopefully-more-robust version of:
-$ rm -rf $output
-$ nix eval --write-to $output.tmp --expr 'import doc/manual/generate-manpage.nix true
-    (builtins.readFile ./generate-manpage.nix)'
-$ mv $output.tmp $output
