+SYNOPSIS
+========
+A stand-alone Puppet filebucket client.
+
+
+USAGE
+=====
+  puppet filebucket [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose]
+     [-l|--local] [-r|--remote]
+     [-s|--server <server>] [-b|--bucket <directory>] <file> <file> ...

+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+This is a stand-alone filebucket client for sending files to a local or
+central filebucket.
+
+
+USAGE
+=====
+This client can operate in three modes, with only one mode per call:
+
+backup:  Send one or more files to the specified file bucket. Each sent
+         file is printed with its resulting md5 sum.
+
+get:     Return the text associated with an md5 sum. The text is printed
+         to stdout, and only one file can be retrieved at a time.
+
+restore: Given a file path and an md5 sum, store the content associated
+         with the sum into the specified file path. You can specify an
+         entirely new path to this argument; you are not restricted to
+
+Note that 'filebucket' defaults to using a network-based filebucket
+available on the server named 'puppet'. To use this, you'll have to be
+running as a user with valid Puppet certificates. Alternatively, you can
+use your local file bucket by specifying '--local'.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+=======
+  $ puppet filebucket backup /etc/passwd
+  /etc/passwd: 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949
+  $ puppet filebucket restore /tmp/passwd 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949
+  $
+
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration
+file is also a valid long argument. For example, 'ssldir' is a valid
+configuration parameter, so you can specify '--ssldir <directory>' 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 puppet with
+'--genconfig'.
+
+debug:   Enable full debugging.
+
+help:    Print this help message
+
+local:   Use the local filebucket. This will use the default
+         configuration information.
+
+remote:  Use a remote filebucket. This will use the default
+         configuration information.
+
+server:  The server to send the file to, instead of locally.
+
+verbose: Print extra information.
+
+version: Print version information.
+
+
+EXAMPLE
+=======
+  puppet filebucket -b /tmp/filebucket /my/file
