+.SH NAME
+sconsign \- print SCons .sconsign file information
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B sconsign
+[
+.IR options ...
+]
+.IR file
+[ ... ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+The 
+.B sconsign
+command
+displays the contents of one or more
+.B .sconsign
+files specified by the user.
+
+By default,
+.B sconsign
+dumps the entire contents of the
+specified file(s).
+Each entry is printed in the following format:
+
+    file: signature timestamp length
+            implicit_dependency_1: signature timestamp length
+            implicit_dependency_2: signature timestamp length
+            action_signature [action string]
+
+.B None
+is printed
+in place of any missing timestamp, bsig, or csig
+values for
+any entry
+or any of its dependencies.
+If the entry has no implicit dependencies,
+or no build action,
+the lines are simply omitted.
+
+By default,
+.B sconsign
+assumes that any
+.I file
+arguments that end with a
+.B .dbm
+suffix contains
+signature entries for
+more than one directory
+(that is,
+was specified by the
+.B SConsignFile ()
+function).
+Any
+.I file
+argument that does not end in
+.B .dbm
+is assumed to be a traditional
+.B .sconsign
+file containing the signature entries
+for a single directory.
+An explicit format
+may be specified using the
+.B -f
+or
+.B --file=
+options.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+Various options control what information is printed
+and the format:
+
+.TP
+-a, --act, --action
+Prints the build action information
+for all entries or the specified entries.
+
+.TP
+-c, --csig
+Prints the content signature (csig) information
+for all entries or the specified entries.
+
+.TP
+-d DIRECTORY, --dir=DIRECTORY
+When the signatures are being
+read from a
+.B .dbm
+file, or the
+.B -f dbm
+or
+.B --format=dbm
+options are used,
+prints information about
+only the signatures
+for entries in the specified
+.IR DIRECTORY .
+
+.TP
+-e ENTRY, --entry=ENTRY
+Prints information about only the specified
+.IR ENTRY .
+Multiple -e options may be used,
+in which case information about each
+.I ENTRY
+is printed in the order in which the
+options are specified on the command line.
+
+.TP
+-f FORMAT, --format=FORMAT
+The file(s) to be printed
+are in the specified
+.IR FORMAT .
+Legal values are
+.B dbm
+(the DBM format used
+when the
+.BR SConsignFile ()
+function is used)
+or
+.B sconsign
+(the default format
+used for an individual
+.B .sconsign
+file in each directory).
+
+.TP
+-h, --help
+Prints a help message and exits.
+
+.TP
+-i, --implicit
+Prints the list of cached implicit dependencies
+for all entries or the the specified entries.
+
+.TP
+--raw
+Prints a pretty-printed representation
+of the raw Python dictionary that holds
+build information about individual entry
+(both the entry itself or its implicit dependencies).
+An entry's build action is still printed in its usual format.
+
+.TP
+-r, --readable
+Prints timestamps in a human-readable string,
+enclosed in single quotes.
+
+.TP
+-t, --timestamp
+Prints the timestamp information
+for all entries or the specified entries.
+
+.TP
+-v, --verbose
+Prints labels identifying each field being printed.
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+
+.IP SCONS_LIB_DIR
+Specifies the directory that contains the SCons Python module directory
+(e.g. /home/aroach/scons-src-0.01/src/engine).
+on the command line.
