+.SH NAME
+opkhelper \- opkg build helper tools
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+opkhelper is a set of programs to assist in building binary packages installable
+by the lightweight package manager
+.BR opkg .
+These tools are inspired by debhelper, a similar set of programs written
+primarily by Joey Hess for Debian.
+.sp
+opkhelper is designed to build source packages that comply with draft version
+1.0 of the source package format at
+.IR http://specs.os.pehjota.net/source-package-format-1.0.html .
+
+.SH MAINTAINER AND PACKAGE INTERFACES
+opkhelper exposes various interfaces to users building packages and to packages
+themselves.  Users generally just call
+.B opkbuild(1)
+to begin building packages.  The
+.I build
+file of a package generally calls a number of opkhelper tools to help it manage
+and pack data and control files for packages.  Additionally,
+.B opkbuild(1)
+documents the build environment by setting environment variables that are
+available to the
+.I build
+file and other opkhelper tools.
+

+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+opkbuild makes available to package
+.I build
+files and other opkhelper tools a number of environment variables that describe
+the packages being built, the build and host systems, and the toolchain to be
+used.  The difference between "build" and "host" systems follows the convention
+set by GNU Autoconf.  The build system is the one on which software is built.
+The host system is the one on which software is to be run.  For more information, see
+.IR https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Specifying-Targe\
+t-Triplets .
