Where is help for linux programs located?

When you pass "--help" as an argument to a program in command line, generally the program provides standard output designed to help the user. Where is the source of this standard output? Is it within its own file or is it embedded within the object code in a series of print statements?

It's usually within the program itself -- a series of print statements as you mentioned.
