+== NAME
+
+meowsum — print or check Meow hash checksums
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+meowsum [-ceq] [FILE]...
+
+meowsum [-s size] [FILE]...
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The meowsum utility calculates and prints or checks Meow hash checksums.
+The output format is consistent with POSIX cksum; meowsum prints the checksum,
+number of bytes, and file path to standard output.
+
+When FILE is -, meowsum reads standard input.
+
+== OPTIONS
+
+	-c           read sums from the FILEs and check them
+	-s size      set hash size; size can be 32, 64, 128 bits;
+	             the default is 128
+	
+	The following options are useful only when verifying checksums:
+	-q           only return status; do not print OK, ERH, ERS, ERM
+	-e           fail for missing files
