+See
+.Sx EXAMPLES
+for details.
+.It Fl p Ar prefix
+Set prefix path.
+Default value is

+Print
+.Nm
+version.
+.It Fl V
+Print
+.Nm
+version, compiler version and
+.Pa configure

+.El
+.Sh SIGNALS
+The master process of
+.Nm
+can handle the following signals.
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width ".It Dv SIGINT , SIGTERM" -compact
+.It Dv SIGINT , SIGTERM
+Shut down quickly.
+.It Dv SIGHUP
