No problem, I just wrote one and attached it to this mail.
For more information about writing manual pages, have a look at the
manpage HOWTO (http://www.schweikhardt.net/man_page_howto.html) as
well as into man(7) and groff_man(7).

No, man pages use a different format, which is parsed by nroff or
groff.  For writing man pages you need nothing else but a text editor.
