+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+rejoystick [*-d*]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+**rejoystick** is a daemon that converts joystick movement and/or
+button presses to X keystroke events. This allows the user to use the
+joystick with games that don't have joystick support.
+
+There are two modes of operation for **rejoystick**: the GUI configuration
+mode, and daemon mode.
+
+To configure the axes/buttons **rejoystick** will map to keystrokes,
+run **rejoystick** with no arguments. This will display a GUI which
+you can use to set the mappings. When you're done, exit the program
+(close its window). The mappings will be written to *~/.rejoystickrc*.
+Although the configuration is graphical, it's recommended to run it
+from a terminal (not a desktop launcher), so you can see its output.
+
+To run **rejoystick** as a daemon, run it with the **-d** option. It
+will fork to the background, monitor the joystick, and generate
+keystroke events according to the configuration in *~/.rejoystickrc*.
+
+To exit **rejoystick**, use "**killall -9 rejoystick**". If you want to
+change the mappings, you'll have to kill the daemon and restart it,
+since it won't re-read its config file.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+-d
+ Run as a daemon. Default is to show the config GUI.
