- Description
- A Unix Manual Page (.man) file contains documentation text formatted with troff/groff macros, typically using the man or mdoc macro package. These files are the source for the 'man' command documentation system used on Unix and Unix-like operating systems. They describe commands, system calls, library functions, and other system components.
- A JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file is a lightweight, text-based, human-readable format used for data interchange. It is designed to store and transport data. JSON files use the .json file extension and are structured as a collection of name/value pairs, where the names are strings, and the values can be strings, numbers, arrays, or even other JSON objects. This format is widely used in web applications for exchanging data between a client and a server, as well as in configuration files.
