+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a fast command-line utility for streaming and processing RDF data.
+It reads an RDF document and writes the data to stdout,
+possibly transformed and/or in a different syntax.
+By default,
+the input syntax is guessed from the file extension,
+and output is written in NTriples or NQuads.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+can be used to check for syntax errors,
+convert from one syntax to another,
+pretty-print documents,
+or transform URIs and blank node IDs.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -compact -width 3n
+.It Fl a
+Write ASCII output.
+If this is enabled, all non-ASCII characters will be escaped, even if the output syntax allows them to be written in UTF-8.
+.Pp
+.It Fl b
+Bulk output writing.
+If this is enabled, output will be written a page at a time, rather than a byte at a time.
+.Pp
+.It Fl c Ar prefix
+Chop
+.Ar prefix
+from matching blank node IDs.
+This is the inverse of
+.Fl p .
+.Pp
+.It Fl e
 Eat input one character at a time, rather than a page at a time which is the default.
 This is useful when reading from a pipe since output will be generated immediately as input arrives, rather than waiting until an entire page of input has arrived.
 With this option serdi uses one page less memory, but will likely be significantly slower.
-
-.TP
-.BR \-f
-Keep full URIs in input (don't qualify).
-
-.TP
-.BR \-h
+.Pp
+.It Fl f
+Keep full URIs in input (don't qualify with namespace prefixes or make URIs relative).
+.Pp
+.It Fl h
 Print the command line options.
-
-.TP
-.BR \-i " " \fISYNTAX\fR
-Read input as \fISYNTAX\fR.
-Valid values (case-insensitive): \*(lqturtle\*(rq, \*(lqntriples\*(rq, \*(lqtrig\*(rq, \*(lqnquads\*(rq.
-
-.TP
-.BR \-l
+.Pp
+.It Fl i Ar syntax
+Read input as
+.Ar syntax .
+Case is ignored, valid values are:
+.Dq NQuads ,
+.Dq NTriples ,
+.Dq TriG ,
+.Dq Turtle .
+.Pp
+.It Fl l
 Lax (non-strict) parsing.
-
-.TP
-.BR \-o " " \fISYNTAX\fR
-Write output as \fISYNTAX\fR.
-Valid values (case-insensitive): \*(lqturtle\*(rq, \*(lqntriples\*(rq, \*(lqtrig\*(rq, \*(lqnquads\*(rq.
-
-.TP
-.BR \-p " " \fIPREFIX\fR
-Add \fIPREFIX\fR to blank node IDs.
-
-.TP
-.BR \-q
+If this is enabled, recoverable syntax errors will print a warning, but parsing will proceed starting at the next statement if possible.
+Note that data may be lost when using this option.
+.Pp
+.It Fl o Ar syntax
+Write output as
+.Ar syntax .
+Case is ignored, valid values are:
+.Dq NQuads ,
+.Dq NTriples ,
+.Dq TriG ,
+.Dq Turtle .
+.Pp
+.It Fl p Ar prefix
+Add
+.Ar prefix
+to blank node IDs.
+This can be used to avoid clashes between blank node IDs in input documents.
+.Pp
+.It Fl q
 Suppress all output except data.
-
-.TP
-.BR \-r " " \fIROOT_URI\fR
-Keep relative URIs within \fIROOT_URI\fR.
-
-.TP
-.BR \-s " " \fIINPUT\fR
-Parse \fIINPUT\fR as a string (terminates options).
-
-.TP
-.BR \-v
+.Pp
+.It Fl r Ar root
+Keep relative URIs within a
+.Ar root
+URI.
+This will avoid creating any relative URI references with leading path segments like
+.Dq ../
+that enter a parent of
+.Ar root .
+.Pp
+.It Fl s Ar string
+Parse
+.Ar string
+input instead of a file (terminates options).
+.Pp
+.It Fl v
 Display version information and exit.
