+.TH STEP 1 "1 September 1993"
+
+.SH NAME
+step \- generate a step waveform.
+
+.SH SYNTAX 
+step [options]
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Generate a step up or down of given amplitude at a given shift from the origin
+(start of waveform), and write the resulting waveform on the stdout in the
+given datatype.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+1. shift
+
+The position of the step (up or down) relative to the start of the waveform.
+The shift can be in samples (no units) or can take time units
+(using the samplerate option).
+
+2. amplitude
+
+The height of the step.
+
+3. polarity
+
+The direction of the step: up (zero before the step and `amplitude' after)
+or down (`amplitude' before the step and zero after).
+
+4. duration
+
+The duration of the output wave, including the shift to the step.
+The duration can be in samples (no units) or can take time units
+(using the samplerate option).
+
+5. type
+
+The output datatype. This may be any of: char, short, int, float, double,
+ascii (meaning one ascii number per line).
