Python script to generate a man page for the command `fastfetch`.
The man content will be printed to stdout so you will need to
pipe it to a file if you want to save it.
The command options will be generated using a JSON file.
For the format of the JSON file, see https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/blob/dev/src/data/help.json

Parsing is not case sensitive. E.g. \fB--logo-type\fR is
equal to \fB--LOGO-TYPE\fR.
If a value is between square brackets, it is optional.
An optional boolean value defaults to true if not specified.
More detailed help messages for each options can be printed
with \fB-h <option_without_dash_prefix>\fR.
All options can be made permanent with command
\fBfastfetch <options> --gen-config\fR.

.SS Fetch Structure
The structure of a fetch describes the modules that should
be included in the output. It consists of a string of modules,
separated by a colon (:). To list all available modules,
use --list-modules.
.SS Config Files
Fastfetch uses JSONC based format for configuration.
Fastfetch doesn't generate config file automatically;
it should be generated manually by {startBold}--gen-config{endBold}.
The config file will be saved in
{startBold}~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc{endBold} by default.
A JSONC config file is a JSON file that also supports comments
with (// and /* */). Those files must have the extension '.jsonc'.
The specified configuration/preset files are searched in the following order:
{startBold}1.{endBold} relative to the current working directory
{startBold}2.{endBold} relative to ~/.local/share/fastfetch/presets/
{startBold}3.{endBold} relative to /usr/share/fastfetch/presets/
Fastfetch provides some default presets. List them with --list-presets.
