+.Sh NAME
+.Nm nohup
+.Nd invoke a utility immune to hangups
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl Fl
+.Ar utility
+.Op Ar arguments
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility invokes
+.Ar utility
+with its
+.Ar arguments
+and at this time sets the signal
+.Dv SIGHUP
+to be ignored.
+If the standard output is a terminal, the standard output is
+appended to the file
+.Pa nohup.out
+in the current directory.
+If standard error is a terminal, it is directed to the same place
+as the standard output.
+.Pp
+Some shells may provide a builtin
+.Nm
+command which is similar or identical to this utility.
+Consult the
+.Xr builtin 1
+manual page.
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+The following variables are utilized by
+.Nm :
+.Bl -tag -width flag
+.It Ev HOME
+If the output file
+.Pa nohup.out
+cannot be created in the current directory, the
+.Nm
+utility uses the directory named by
+.Ev HOME
+to create the file.
+.It Ev PATH
+Used to locate the requested
+.Ar utility
+if the name contains no
+.Ql /
+characters.
+.El
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+The
+.Nm
+utility exits with one of the following values:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It 126
+The
+.Ar utility
+was found, but could not be invoked.
+.It 127
+The
+.Ar utility
+could not be found or an error occurred in
+.Nm .
+.El
+.Pp
+Otherwise, the exit status of
+.Nm
+will be that of
+.Ar utility .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr builtin 1 ,
+.Xr csh 1 ,
+.Xr signal 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Nm
+utility is expected to be
+.St -p1003.2
+compatible.
+.Sh BUGS
+Two or more instances of
+.Nm
+can append to the same file, which makes for a confusing output.
