   Handy one-liner that explains what the program does.
   
   Usage: $progname [--parameter1 NUM] [--parameter2 STR] [--parameter3 TIME_STR] [--verbose] [--dry-run]
          argument1 [argument2] [argument3] [ ... ]
   
   Example: $progname -d=5 /tmp/folder1/ /tmp/folder2/
            explain the example in detail

   optional parameter:
     -p, --parameter1 NUM        explain this parameter
     -q, --parameter2 STR        explain this parameter
     -r, --parameter3 TIME_STR   explain this parameter
     -h, --help                  show this help message and exit
     -v, --verbose               increase verbosity
     --dry-run                   dry run, dont change any files, folders or values
