+.TH I2CDETECT 8 "March 2004"
+.SH NAME
+i2cdetect \- detect I\u2\dC chips
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B i2cdetect
+.RI [ -f ]
+.I i2cbus
+.br
+.B i2cdetect
+.I -l
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+i2cdetect is a userspace program to scan an I\u2\dC bus for devices. It
+outputs a table with the list of detected devices on the specified bus.
+\fIi2cbus\fR indicates the number of the I\u2\dC bus to be scanned, and
+should correspond to one of the busses listed by \fIi2cdetect -l\fR.
+
+.SH WARNING
+This program can confuse your I\u2\dC bus, cause data loss and worse!
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B "\-f"
+Force scanning of non-regular addresses. Not recommended.
+.TP
+.B "\-l"
+Output a list of installed busses.
