+Command-line Usage
+------------------
+
+The :mod:`doctest` module can be invoked as a script from the command line:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   python -m doctest [-v] [-o OPTION] [-f] file [file ...]
+
+.. program:: doctest
+
+.. option:: -v, --verbose
+
+   Detailed report of all examples tried is printed to standard output,
+   along with assorted summaries at the end::
+
+      python -m doctest -v example.py
+
+   This will import :file:`example.py` as a standalone module and run
+   :func:`testmod` on it. Note that this may not work correctly if the
+   file is part of a package and imports other submodules from that package.
+
+   If the file name does not end with :file:`.py`, :mod:`!doctest` infers
+   that it must be run with :func:`testfile` instead::
+
+      python -m doctest -v example.txt
+
+.. option:: -o, --option <option>
+
+   Option flags control various aspects of doctest's behavior, see section
+   :ref:`doctest-options`.
