+.TH FMA 1
+.SH NAME
+qma \- quick manual access
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B qma
+.RI "[ section ] manualpage [ keyword ]"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page documents briefly the
+.B qma
+command.
+.PP
+\fBqma\fP is a script which allows quick and efficient access to manual pages
+through using compression via lzop and display of vim.
+
+qma generates manpages via running 'man <requested_manpage>' and storing
+the result in a file with the extension txt in directory $HOME/man. Then
+lzop is executed for the file and the output is written to a file with the
+additional extension lzo. Afterwards the editor vim is executed with
+filetype set to man and using on-the-fly decompressing using lzop again.
+
+So far you did not win any time of course. But if you want to display the
+same manpage again the processed manpage already exists in $HOME/man and
+can be displayed immediately. If you want to experience the difference
+just run 'qma zshall' two times and compare it with 'man zshall' too.
+
+If you want to jump to a special keyword inside the manpage use it as
+last option of the qma commandline. Searching for the keyword is done
+case insensitive inside vim.
+.SH OPTIONS
+qma supports the following options:
+.TP
+.B \-h, \-\-help
+Show summary of options.
+.TP
+.B \-v, \-\-version
+Show version of program.
+.TP
+.B $MANDIR
+If the environment variable MANDIR is set the specified directory is taken
+for output files instead of the default directory $HOME/man.
