Editing Man page (section)

==Layout==
All man pages follow a common layout that is optimized for presentation on a simple [[ASCII]] text display, possibly without any form of highlighting or font control. Sections present may include:<ref name=mdoc-7/>{{rp|at=MANUAL STRUCTURE}}
; NAME: The name of the command or function, followed by a one-line description of what it does.
; SYNOPSIS: In the case of a command, a formal description of how to run it and what command line options it takes. For program functions, a list of the parameters the function takes and which header file contains its declaration.
; DESCRIPTION: A textual description of the functioning of the command or function.  For programs, this section often includes explanations of available command line options.
; EXAMPLES: Some examples of common usage.
; SEE ALSO: A list of related commands or functions.

Other sections may be present, but these are not well standardized across man pages. Common examples include: OPTIONS, EXIT STATUS, RETURN VALUE, ENVIRONMENT, BUGS, FILES, AUTHOR, REPORTING BUGS, HISTORY and COPYRIGHT.
