actually gengetopt itself creates its man page using help2man: once you have your program (that uses the gengetopt generated parser), you can build the manpage with help2man, e.g.,

True. But this does not work when cross-compiling. Would it be
difficult to implement something like

        gengetopt --print-detailed-help < my.ggo

which would output the detailed help text directly?


there are already options for this :-)

--show-help show the output of --help instead of generating
                                  code
--show-full-help show the output of --full-help (i.e., including hidden options) instead of generating code
      --show-detailed-help      show the output of --detailed-help (i.e.,
including details and hidden options) instead
                                  of generating code
      --show-version            show the output of --version instead of
                                  generating code
