+.SH NAME
+valac \- compiler that translates Vala source code into C source and header files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B valac
+[OPTION...] FILE...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Vala  is  a  new  programming  language  that  aims  to  bring  modern
+programming language features to GNOME developers without imposing any
+additional  runtime requirements  and  without using  a different  ABI
+compared to applications and libraries written in C.
+
+valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
+Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
+type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala
+source code. It's also planned to generate GIDL files when
+gobject-introspection is ready.
