+For all scripts apart from `acQuery.pl` the advice *use the source Luke* holds.
+
+Help text for acQuery:
+```
+Usage:
+       acQuery.pl [options] -- <DB file>
+
+       Help Options:
+       --help  Show help text
+       --man   Show man page
+       --mode <mode>  Set the operation mode
+       --user <user_id> Search for jobs of specific user
+       --project <project_id> Search for jobs of specific project
+       --duration <from> <to>  Specify duration range of jobs
+       --numnodes <from> <to>  Specify range for number of nodes of job
+       --starttime <from> <to>  Specify range for start time of jobs
+       --mem_used <from> <to>  Specify range for average main memory capacity of job
+       --mem_bandwidth <from> <to>  Specify range for average main memory bandwidth of job
+       --flops_any <from> <to>  Specify range for average flop any rate of job
+
+Options:
+    --help Show a brief help information.
+    --man Read the manual, with examples
+    --mode [012] Specify output mode. Mode can be one of:
+
+            ids - Print list of job ids matching conditions. One job id per
+            line.
+            query - Print the query string and then exit.
+            count - Only output the number of jobs matching the conditions.
+            (Default mode)
+            list - Output a record of every job matching the conditions.
+            stat - Output job statistic for all jobs matching the
+            conditions.
+            perf - Output job performance footprint statistic for all jobs
+            matching the conditions.
+
+    --user Search job for a specific user id.
+    
+    --project Search job for a specific project.
+    
+    --duration Specify condition for job duration. This option takes two
+    arguments: If both arguments are positive integers the condition is
+    duration between first argument and second argument. If the second
+    argument is zero condition is duration smaller than first argument. If
+    first argument is zero condition is duration larger than second
+    argument. Duration can be in seconds, minutes (append m) or hours
+    (append h).
+    
+    --numnodes Specify condition for number of node range of job. This
+    option takes two arguments: If both arguments are positive integers the
+    condition is number of nodes between first argument and second argument.
+    If the second argument is zero condition is number of nodes smaller than
+    first argument. If first argument is zero condition is number of nodes
+    larger than second argument.
+    
+    --starttime Specify condition for the starttime of job. This option
+    takes two arguments: If both arguments are positive integers the
+    condition is start time between first argument and second argument. If
+    the second argument is zero condition is start time smaller than first
+    argument. If first argument is zero condition is start time larger than
+    second argument. Start time must be given as date in the following
+    format: %d.%m.%Y/%H:%M.
+    
+    --mem_used Specify condition for average main memory capacity used by
+    job. This option takes two arguments: If both arguments are positive
+    integers the condition is memory used is between first argument and
+    second argument. If the second argument is zero condition is memory used
+    is smaller than first argument. If first argument is zero condition is
+    memory used is larger than second argument.
+    
+    --mem_bandwidth Specify condition for average main memory bandwidth used
+    by job. This option takes two arguments: If both arguments are positive
+    integers the condition is memory bandwidth is between first argument and
+    second argument. If the second argument is zero condition is memory
+    bandwidth is smaller than first argument. If first argument is zero
+    condition is memory bandwidth is larger than second argument.
+    
+    --flops_any Specify condition for average flops any of job. This option
+    takes two arguments: If both arguments are positive integers the
+    condition is flops any is between first argument and second argument. If
+    the second argument is zero condition is flops any is smaller than first
+    argument. If first argument is zero condition is flops any is larger
+    than second argument.
