.TH "tld_check_4" 3 "1.11" "libidn" "libidn" So this puts the version number in the timestamp field and the project name (without version number) in the field where the project name and version number usually goes. https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/libidn-dev/tld_check_4.3.en.html Btw the rendering of .TH lines at manpages.debian.org doesn't seem very good and doesn't match how 'man tld_check_4' look. Reviewing this now, I think a slightly better .TH for this man page would be something like: .TH "tld_check_4" 3 "1.11" "libidn" "Libidn Programmer's Manual" /Simon
