- Description
- id RoQ is a proprietary video (and audio) container format developed for use in video games. It uses a custom codec combining vector quantization for video and a simple compression scheme for audio, designed for fast decoding on limited hardware. It was used in several id Software games such as Quake III Arena and Return to Castle Wolfenstein to play full-motion video cutscenes.
- 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.
