The pod2mdoc utility is a converter from POD into mdoc. It's meant to operate like pod2man; however, it doesn't require a Perl installation: pod2mdoc is a standalone ISC-licensed ISO C utility and should compile on any modern UNIX system.

Be aware, as stated in the manual:

By way of being a presentational language, POD is not well-represented by mdoc(7). Semantic content must be inferred and may be wrong.

Contact Kristaps with questions, but please make sure any formatting issue hasn't already been covered in the manual.

New in version @VERSION@...

Render the NAME and SYNOPSIS sections intelligently into mdoc(7). Also properly format the L<> escape with the proper macros. All of these are documented in the Smarts section of the manual.
