+    Generate meta playbooks in order to use a TDP like collection without tdp-lib.
+
+    It checks the ansible playbooks which are given as input and returns a meta folder with the following yaml files:
+
+    - all_per_service.yml listing all service.
+    - all.yml listing the location of all yaml files of every service.
+    - yaml file for each specified service containing the location of every yaml file concerning this service.
+
+    The command `python path/to/playbooks.py` will execute the script with all collections defined in the `TDP_COLLECTION_PATH` including every service.
+
+    Use the `-h` or `--help` option to get further information about the options.
