If you install from package manager I'm pretty sure there should be a way to ask to which package file belongs and then somehow get version. For example on Gentoo I can do something like: # equery b /usr/share/man/man1/screen.1.bz2 * Searching for /usr/share/man/man1/screen.1.bz2 ... app-misc/screen-9999 (/usr/share/man/man1/screen.1.bz2) 9999 being git version in this case # equery b /usr/share/man/man1/zsh.1.bz2 * Searching for /usr/share/man/man1/zsh.1.bz2 ... app-shells/zsh-5.5.1-r1 (/usr/share/man/man1/zsh.1.bz2) 5.5.1 being version and r1 being distribution patchset release anyway knowing distribution and package version should be enough in most cases. > > (Tried looking at manlifter and doclifter documentation, and I'm unsure > > how to run it to get a patch) > > > > $ manlifter -m ...../screen/src/doc/screen.1 > > Trying ...../screen/src/doc/screen.1 > > "./foobar.man", line 8: error - uninterpreted 'schar' command > > "./foobar.man", line 4835: there were 1 errors during translation > > doclifter error status: 1 > > I see how you got confused.

Ah ok, it's not me being tired then ;) You can find plain text versions here (they should be mostly similar, but there are some differences): https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/plain/src/doc/screen.1?h=screen-v4 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/screen.git/plain/src/doc/screen.1 Cheers, Amadeusz
