Michael Kerrisk bdb507e4ca Script to remove the COLOPHON section from the man pages provided as 
command-line arguments.  This is useful to remove the COLOPHON sections
from all of the man pages in two different release trees in order to do a
"diff -ruN" to see the "real" differences between the trees.

README 

This package contains Linux man pages for all sections
except 1, 6 and 8. Some more information is given in the
`Announce' file.

Install by copying to your favourite location.
"make install" will just copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].
"make" will move the pages from this package that are older than
the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed',
then remove old versions (compressed or not),
compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].


Note that you may have to remove preformatted pages.

Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages
also distributed in other packages. This has been reported
about dlclose.3, dlerror.3, dlopen.3, dlsym.3 (found in ld.so),
about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils),
and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to
overwrite more up-to-date versions.
Reports on further duplicates are welcome.
Formerly present and now removed duplicates:
 exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*),
 fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*),
 lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*).

Copyrights: These man pages come under various copyrights.
For the POSIX pages, see the file POSIX-COPYRIGHT.
All other pages are freely distributable when the nroff source is included.

Send corrections and additions to mtk.manpages@gmail.com
(man.7 has some info on the macros to use).
