OK, here is a more or less working man page, based on pdftex.man and luatex.1 from Debian.
Cool, thanks!
Very cool. I don't know how to edit it, but I can give comments and other help, if you don't mind. * --lua is actually optional even though it looks to be required now from the SYNOPSIS (I am sorry, I know this came from the commandline help, but that is also a bit misleading) The option list is a bit outdated in any case, I will try to document the actual, complete option list tomorrow. * It would be nice if some one-liner about Unicode and OpenType fonts could be squeezed in. * Maybe point to either www.luatex.org or to "texdoc luatex" (although I am not certain that that actually works)
I omitted some options from pdftex man page that I'm not sure are supported by luatex, included some descriptions from luatex manual, and some formatting. The ENVIRONMENT section is a direct copy from pdftex man page, not sure if there is some thing that need to be added/removed for luatex. FILES, AVAILABILITY and BUGS sections were omitted as well.
Maybe TEXPOOL isn't relevant any more (not sure).
The env variables are all sort of weird: TEXPOOL is definilely irrelevant nowadays (also for pdftex, btw.) TEXMFOUTPUT is unreliable at best, and it may be better to remove it (because the file callbacks can or cannot listen to this variable at their option). I believe that the current consensus these days is that it is better to leave TEXINPUTS and TEXFORMATS well alone also, and instead just rely on auto-discovery of texmf.cnf and if that happens to fail, set TEXMFCNF to its location.
