+.SH NAME
+intel_reg_dumper \- Decode a bunch of Intel GPU registers for debugging
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B intel_reg_dumper [ options ] [ file ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B intel_reg_dumper
+is a tool to read and decode the values of many Intel GPU registers. It is
+commonly used in debugging video mode setting issues. If the
+.B file
+argument is present, the registers will be decoded from the given file
+instead of the current registers. Use the
+.B intel_reg_snapshot
+tool to generate such files.
+
+When the
+.B file
+argument is present and the
+.B -d
+argument is not present,
+.B intel_reg_dumper
+will assume the file was generated on an Ironlake machine.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B -d id
+when a dump file is used, use 'id' as device id (in hex)
+.TP
+.B -h
+prints a help message
