That's a comment, and my patch doesn't touch it. I guess whoever put it there wanted to provide an example how the fourth argument might look like. > The names differ from what i see in the man page. > e.g.: Sec 4 Special files Cannot reproduce; and indeed, tmac/doc-common in the official groff CVS repo has: .ds doc-volume-ds-4 Kernel Interfaces Manual Maybe "Special files" is specific to your operating system or even the particular page you are looking at (you mentioned neither unless i missed it). > Should that be in sync also ? As far as i can see, it is.
