+Generate the combined usage printing code for the entire page\. Specifically,
+this will include all the namespace-level documentation as well as usage for
+all the options classes printed in the order they are defined in the main
+translation unit (documentation/classes from included units are ignored except
+for base classes)\.
+
+The \fIname\fR argument is used as a prefix to form the name of the usage
+printing function\. It can include the namespace qualification as well as
+documentation variable expansion, for example:
+
+.nf
+--page-usage print_ # print_usage() in global namespace
+--page-usage app::print_ # print_usage() in app namespace
+--page-usage print_$name$_ # print_foo_usage() if name is foo
+.fi
+
+If both \fB--long-usage\fR and \fB--short-usage\fR options are specified, then
+two functions are generated with the \fB*short_usage()\fR and
+\fB*long_usage()\fR suffixes\.
.IP "\fB--option-length\fR \fIlen\fR"
Indent option descriptions \fIlen\fR characters when printing usage\. This is
useful when you have multiple options classes, potentially in separate files,
