+.SH NAME
+v4ldriver \- Video4Linux Generic driver for INDI telescope control
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B v4ldriver
+[ \fB\-v\fP ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+KStars allows you to configure
+and control astronomical instruments such as telescopes and focusers via
+the INDI protocol. \fBv4ldriver\fP is a device driver for supporting
+particular types of external hardware.
+.PP
+You should normally not need to run this driver directly. Instead you
+should use KStars to configure and operate your astronomical instruments.
+Most operations can be found under the Devices menu within KStars.
+.PP
+KStars will start the INDI server internally, and the INDI server will
+in turn start this device driver.
+.PP
+Much more detailed information can be found in the KStars Handbook, as
+described below.
+.PP
+KStars is a graphical desktop planetarium for TDE, and forms part of
+the official TDE edutainment module.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+\fB\-v\fP
+Write more verbose output to stderr.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.BR indiserver (1),
+.BR kstars (1).
+.PP
+The KStars Handbook contains detailed information on how to use INDI for
+telescope control. You can read this handbook in the TDE Help Centre.
+Alternatively you can enter the URL
+\fIhelp:/kstars/indi.html\fP
+directly into konqueror or you can run
+`\fIkhelpcenter help:/kstars/indi.html\fP'
+from the command-line.
+.PP
+If the TDE Help Centre is not installed then you can install the package
+\fItdeedu-doc-html\fP and read this documentation in HTML format from
+\fI/opt/trinity/share/doc/tde/HTML/en/kstars/indi.html\fP.
