xtask - Run tasks with cargo

This binary crate provides support for running useful tasks with cargo xtask <..>.

mangen

The mangen task which is enabled by the mangen cargo feature, builds ROFF manual pages for binary crates in this repository. It uses the clap_mangen crate to generate ROFF from the crate's argument types which implement the clap::CommandFactory trait, through the clap::Parser derive macro.
