+.SH NAME
+
+mm \(en middleman
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+mm
+.RB ( -aenu )
+.RB ( -i
+.RB [ input ])
+.RB ( -o
+.RB [ output ])
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+Mm catenates input files and writes them to the start of each output file.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+Mm, upon receiving the
+.B -a
+option, will open subsequent outputs for appending rather than updating.
+.PP
+The
+.B -i
+option opens a path as an input. Without any inputs specified mm will use
+standard input. Standard input itself can be specified by giving the path '-'.
+.PP
+The
+.B -o
+option opens a path as an output. Without any outputs specified mm will use
+standard output. Standard output itself can be specified by giving the
+path '-'. Standard error itself can be specified with the
+.B -e
+option.
+.PP
+The
+.B -u
+option ensures neither input or output will be buffered.
+.PP
+The
+.B -n
+option tells mm to ignore SIGINT signals.
+
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+
+If an output can no longer be written mm prints a diagnostic message, ceases
+writing to that particular output, and if there are more outputs specified,
+continues, eventually exiting unsuccessfully.
+.PP
+On error mm prints a diagnostic message and exits with the appropriate
+sysexits.h(3) status.
+
+.SH BUGS
+
+Mm does not truncate existing files, which may lead to unexpected results.
+
+.SH RATIONALE
+
+Mm was modeled after the cat and tee utilities specified in POSIX.
