+foreman(1) -- manage Procfile-based applications
+================================================
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+`foreman` start [process]<br>
+`foreman` export <format> [location]
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+**Foreman** is a manager for Procfile-based applications. Its aim is to
+abstract away the details of the Procfile format, and allow you to either run
+your application directly or export it to some other process management
+format.
+
+## RUNNING
+
+`foreman start` is used to run your application directly from the command line. 
+
+If no additional parameters are passed, foreman will run one instance of each
+type of process defined in your Procfile.
+
+If a parameter is passed, foreman will run one instance of the specified
+application type.
+
+The following options control how the application is run:
+
+  * `-s`, `--screen`:
+    Run the application as a series of screen windows rather than interleaved
+    in stdout.
+
+## EXPORTING
+
+`foreman export` is used to export your application to another process
+management format.
+
+An location to export can be passed as an argument. This argument may be
+either required or optional depending on the export format.
+
+The following options control how the application is run:
+
+  * `-a`, `--app`:
+    Use this name rather than the application's root directory name as the
+    name of the application when exporting.
+    
+  * `-c`, `--concurrency`:
+    Specify the number of each process type to run. The value passed in
+    should be in the format `process=num,process=num`.
+
+## OPTIONS
+
+These options control all modes of foreman's operation.
+
+  * `-p`, `--procfile`
+    Specify an alternate location for the application's Procfile. This file's
+    containing directory will be assumed to be the root directory of the
+    application.
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+Start one instance of each process type, interleave the output on stdout:
+
+    $ foreman start
+
+Export the application in upstart format:
+
+    $ foreman export upstart /etc/init
+    
+Run one process type from the application defined in a specific Procfile:
+
+    $ foreman start alpha -p ~/app/Procfile
