This is against current practice and traditions:
man(1):
: Man formats and displays the on-line manual pages. This version knows
: about the MANPATH and PAGER environment variables, so you can have your
: own set(s) of personal man pages and choose whatever program you like to
^^^^^^^^^
: display the formatted pages.
man(7):
: NAME
: groff_man - groff `man' macros to support generation of man pages
^^^^^^^^^
mdoc(7):
: Throughout the UNIX manual pages, a manual entry is simply referred to as
: a man page, regardless of actual length and without sexist intention.
^^^^^^^^
Both can be used interchangeably:
/home/ru/1/mdocNG > awk '{ print $1 }' *.manuals | xargs grep 'manual page' | wc -l
443
/home/ru/1/mdocNG > awk '{ print $1 }' *.manuals | xargs egrep 'man ?page' | wc -l
368
