 .SH DESCRIPTION
 
-Str tests each character in an arbitrary quantity of string arguments against
-the function of the same name within ctype(3).
+Test string arguments.
+
+The tests in this program are equivalent to the functions with the same names in
+ctype.h(0p) and are the methods by which string arguments are tested.
 
 .SH DIAGNOSTICS
 
-Str exits successfully if all tests pass and unsuccessfully if a test failed.
-.PP
-Str will exit unsuccessfully if a string is empty, as none of its contents
-passed the test.
-.PP
-Str will print a message to standard error and exit unsuccessfully if used
-improperly.
+If all tests pass, the program will exit with an exit code of 0. If any of the
+tests fail, the program will exit unsuccessfully with an error code of 1.
 
-.SH DEPRECATED FEATURES
+An empty string will cause an unsuccessful exit as none of its contents pass any
+tests.
 
-Str used to have an "isvalue" type as an extension to ctype(3). This was
-removed in favor of using strcmp(1) to compare strings against the empty string
-('').
+When invoked incorrectly, a debug message will be printed and the program will
+exit with the appropriate sysexits.h(3) error code.
 
 .SH BUGS

+There’s no way of knowing which argument failed the test without re-testing
 arguments individually.

+
 If a character in a string isn't valid ASCII str will exit unsuccessfully.
