- The file type rst (or reStructuredText File) was created by the Python Software Foundation.
- 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.
- Primarily created for Python, RST is a text file that uses reStructuredText markup language for in-line program documentation. It can also be used to develop standalone documents and simple web pages.
