Description

The man(7) man page describes this as "the title of the manual (e.g., Linux Programmer's Manual)". Here are some examples from existing man pages:

  • dpkg utilities (dpkg-name)

  • User Contributed Perl Documentation (GET)

  • GNU Development Tools (ld)

  • Emperor Norton Utilities (ddate)

  • Debian GNU/Linux manual (faked)

  • GIMP Manual Pages (gimp)

  • KDOC Documentation System (qt2kdoc)

The solbook(5) man page describes something very much like what man(7) calls "manual", except that solbook(5) names it "sectdesc" and describes it like this:

This is the section title of the reference page; for example User Commands.

Parameters

refname

The first refname in the refentry

info

A set of info nodes (from a refentry element and its ancestors)

prefs

A node containing users preferences (from global stylesheet parameters)

Returns

Returns a manual node.
