The naming of all man-pages in the groff source tree is quite chaotic. Only <page>.man is used, information of the section is available only in the Makefile of the directory.
Then these man-pages are transferred to <page>.n using `.man.n:` in main `Makefile.am` on the top of the source tree. Then each generated <page>.n-files are moved to <page>.[157]. ### new concept 1) To improve the total handling, I propose to use a starting man-page `<page>.[157].man' instead of <page>.man. 2) This will be transported with the usual `.man.n:' into `<page>.[157].n'. 3) Modifying a part of the top Makefile.am, the `.n' is removed and the file is installated as `<page>.[157]'. ### old-fashion concept A similar concept with `<page>.[157]n' was proposed and discussed in october 2014. As this concept is not as suitable, I do not propose this old proposal again. Bernd Warken
