+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBsosreport\fR generates a compressed tarball of debugging information
+for the system it is run on that can be sent to technical support
+reps that will give them a more complete view of the overall system
+status.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-a, \--alloptions
+Enable all options for all loaded plugins
+.TP
+.B \-f, \--fastoptions
+Enable all options marked as "fast" for loaded plugins. This will
+reduce running time while still gathering helpful information, but
+you may be asked to re-run later with some or all "slow" options
+enabled depending on the specific issue.
+.TP
+.B \-g, \--gatheronly
+Gather the diagnostic data and bundle it up, but do not attempt to
+send it to any support site. This option currently has no effect as
+sosreport currently does not support report transmission.
+.TP
+.B \-l, \--list-plugins
+List available plugins
+.TP
+.B \-n, \--noplugin
+Do not load specified plugin(s)
+.TP
+.B \-o, \--onlyplugin
+Load only the specified plugin(s), all otherplugins should be disabled
+.TP
+.B \-v, \--verbose
+Increase the verbosity of the output as sosreport is running. This option
+can be specified more than once.
+.TP
+.B \-m, \--multithreaded
+Enable a multithreaded collection and analysis of the sosreport data. Please
+note that this option is experimental and is known to have intermittent issues.
+.SH BUGS
+The multithreaded option can fail intermittently, please use it with care.
