-The program makeindex is a general purpose hierarchical index
-generator; it accepts one or more input files (often produced by a
-text formatter such as TeX or troff, sorts the entries, and produces
-an output file which can be formatted. The index can have up to three
-levels (0, 1, and 2) of subitem nesting. The way in which words are
-flagged for indexing within the main document is specific to the
-formatter used; makeindex does not automate the process of selecting
-these words. As the output index is hierarchical, makeindex can be
-considered complimentary to the awk(1)-based make.index(1L) system of
-Bentley and Kernighan, which is specific to troff(1), generates
-non-hierarchical indices, and employs a much simpler syntax for
-indicating index entries.
