+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+This is a simple application that just processes entities in a queue as
+they are recieved.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration
+file is also a valid long argument. For example, 'server' is a valid
+configuration parameter, so you can specify '--server <servername>' as
+an argument.
+
+See the configuration file documentation at
+http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the
+full list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all
+configuration options can also be generated by running puppetd with
+'--genconfig'.

+help:    Print this help message
+
+verbose: Turn on verbose reporting.
+
+version: Print the puppet version number and exit.
