<div class="refsect1"><a name="idp9870704"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>The <code class="literal">man(7)</code> man page describes this as "the
source of the command", and provides the following examples:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">
<p>For binaries, use something like: GNU, NET-2, SLS
Distribution, MCC Distribution.</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>For system calls, use the version of the kernel that you are
currently looking at: Linux 0.99.11.</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>For library calls, use the source of the function: GNU, BSD
4.3, Linux DLL 4.4.1.</p>
</li></ul></div><p>
</p>
<p>The <code class="literal">solbook(5)</code> man page describes
something very much like what <code class="literal">man(7)</code> calls
"source", except that <code class="literal">solbook(5)</code> names it
"software" and describes it like this:
</p><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote">
<p>This is the name of the software product that the topic
discussed on the reference page belongs to. For example UNIX
commands are part of the <code class="literal">SunOS x.x</code>
release.</p>
</blockquote></div><p>
</p>
<p>In practice, there are many pages that simply have a version
number in the "source" field. So, it looks like what we have is a
two-part field,
<em class="replaceable"><code>Name</code></em> <em class="replaceable"><code>Version</code></em>,
where:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term">Name</span></dt><dd>
<p>product name (e.g., BSD) or org. name (e.g., GNU)</p>
</dd><dt><span class="term">Version</span></dt><dd>
<p>version name</p>
</dd></dl></div><p>
Each part is optional. If the <em class="replaceable"><code>Name</code></em> is a
product name, then the <em class="replaceable"><code>Version</code></em> is probably
the version of the product. Or there may be no
<em class="replaceable"><code>Name</code></em>, in which case, if there is a
<em class="replaceable"><code>Version</code></em>, it is probably the version of the
item itself, not the product it is part of. Or, if the
<em class="replaceable"><code>Name</code></em> is an organization name, then there
probably will be no <em class="replaceable"><code>Version</code></em>.
