- 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.
- Texinfo is a markup language and file format used to produce both online documentation and printed manuals from a single source file. It is the official documentation format of the GNU Project, allowing output to formats like HTML, PDF, and Info. The .texi extension marks source files written in this markup before processing by the texinfo toolchain.
