+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B sgminer 
+is a multi-threaded multi-pool GPU miner with ATI GPU monitoring, (over)clocking and fanspeed support for scrypt-based cryptocurrency. It is based on cgminer by Con Kolivas (ckolivas), which is in turn based on cpuminer by Jeff Garzik (jgarzik).
+
+.SH USAGE
+.PP 
+The classic and best usage of sgminer is to load a json formatted config file which specifies all the options you need. This is done by:
+
+.RS
+\f(CWsgminer -c /etc/sgminer.conf
+.RE
+
+You can run sgminer without a config file by specifying pools and GPU specifics on the command line.
+
+Single pool:
+
+.RS
+\f(CWsgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password
+.RE
+
+.PP
+Multiple pools:
+
+.RS
+\f(CWsgminer -o http://pool1:port -u pool1username -p pool1password -o http://pool2:port -u pool2usernmae -p pool2password
+.RE
+
+.PP
+Single pool with a standard http proxy, regular desktop:
+
+.RS
+\f(CWsgminer -o "http:proxy:port|http://pool:port" -u username -p password
+.RE
+
+.PP
+Single pool with various GPU options specified:
+
+.RS
+\f(CWsgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-memclock 1400 --gpu-threads 1 --expiry 30
