Alternatively, in simple shell scripts (for which writing a manpage
would be overkill), I simply print the script file's comment header
using sed(1):

#!/bin/sh
# your program description & usage documentation here
# nicely formatted and beautified to fit 80 columns
# NOTE: the blank line below is the end of the file comment header

# check command-line usage
if test "$#" -lt 3; then
 sed -n '2,/^$/s/^# \?//p' "$0" # show this file's comment header
 exit 1
fi

That is beautiful.
