Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2009-07-17 08:19:55 UTC
a "$>man top" gives sth like this under a stable Gentoo Linux and top got from package sys-process/procps-3.2.7 :

...
       The program provides a limited interactive interface for process manipulation as  well  as  a  much  more
       extensive  interface  for  personal  configuration   --  encompassing every aspect of its operation.  And
       while .ie 0 .    br
        is referred to throughout this document, you are free to name the program anything you wish.   That  new
...

Probably  ".ie 0 .    br" should be replaced by "top" ?


I contacted the author, his answer :

There's something not right with the man program you are using. It looks
fine with mine, a Debian system.

ds macros are considered safe and can appear in man pages, see man(7)
