get.refentry.section — Gets section metadata for a refentry

Synopsis

<xsl:template name="get.refentry.section">
<xsl:param name="refname"/>
<xsl:param name="quiet" select="0"/>
  ...
</xsl:template>

Description

The man(7) man page describes this as "the section number the man page should be placed in (e.g., 7)". If we do not find a manvolnum specified in the source, and we find that the refentry is for a function, we use the section number 3 ["Library calls (functions within program libraries)"]; otherwise, we default to using 1 ["Executable programs or shell commands"].

Parameters

refname

The first refname in the refentry

quiet

If non-zero, no "missing" message is emitted

Returns

Returns a string representing a section number.
