+Usage: $PROG [options] OBJECT...
+       $PROG [options] -i DWARF_DUMP_FILE
+  Prints C prototypes and other information about functions exported
+  from OBJECT.  The OBJECT files must be compiled to contain DWARF
+  sections -- i.e., use -ggdb3.
+
+  (The second usage is intended for debugging.)
+
+  This is intended to be used for generating v-tables for plugins.
+
+  Output options:
+  
+    -B      Output function stubs for exported functions
+    -I      Generate code to initialize a v-table
+    -P      Output prototypes for exported functions
+    -n      Include argument names in prototypes
+    -T      Output function pointer typedefs for exported functions
+
+    -s NAME Name of v-table struct
+    -S      Output struct definition (requires -s NAME)
+    -M      Output macros that indirect through jq_state v-table
+            (requires -s NAME)
+
+  Function symbol filter options:
+
+    -p GLOB Only include functions whose names match GLOB
+            (may be given multiple times)
+    -x GLOB Exclude functions matching GLOB
+            (may be given multiple times)
+    -f FILE Exclude functions that appear to be in a v-table in FILE
+            (useful when updating a v-table so as to generate additions
+             to the v-table that go at the end)
+            (may be given multiple times)
+
+  Debug options:
+
+    -i FILE Use the dump of DWARF data in FILE, made with llvm-dwarfdump
+    -v      Trace this script
+
+  At least one of -P, -T, -S, or -s must be given.
