+     "This (Perl) script displays the definitions of (La)TeX command
+sequences/macros.  Various options allow the selection of the used class as
+well as package files and other factors that may influence the
+definition (before/after the preamble, inside an environment, ...).  The
+script creates a temporary TeX file which is then compiled using (La)TeX to
+find the @code{\\meaning} of the command sequence.  The result is formatted
+and presented to the user.  Length or number command sequences (dimensions,
+@code{\\char}..., count registers, ...)  are recognized and the contained
+value is also shown (using @code{\\the}).  Special definitions like protected
+macros are also recognized and the underlying macros are shown as well.  The
+script will show plain TeX definitions by default.  LaTeX and ConTeXt are
+supported, including flavours (pdf(La)TeX, Lua(La)TeX, Xe(La)TeX, ...).  The
+flavour can be selected using a command line option, or via the script name:
+@command{latexdef} will use LaTeX as default, etc.")
