+.TH MONSTERWM 1 monsterwm
+.SH NAME
+monsterwm \- minimal and dynamic tiling window manager
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B monsterwm
+.RB [ \-v ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+monsterwm is a very minimal, lightweight, monsterous, tiny, dynamic tiling
+window manager. It will try to stay as small as possible. It looks a lot like
+.I dwm
+with gridlayout, bstack, pertag, dwmreturn patches builtin, but without
+floating mode(currently).
+.P
+.SH MODES
+It allows the "normal" method of tiling window managers (with the new window as
+the master) and with the new window opened at the bottom of the stack (like
+.I dwm's
+attach_aside).
+.P
+.B monsterwm
+three other modes available:
+.I Bottom stack
+where the slave clients (the smaller "windows") are tiled beneath the master.
+.I Grid mode
+where, once there are four or more cliens in a workspace, they are all
+equally divided into a grid.
+.I Monocle mode
+or fullscreen mode, where the clients take up the entire workspace, and additional
+clients are hidden behind the current shown window.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-v
+prints version information to standard output, then exits.
