Internal Names
The Solaris man macros use a number of
macro, string, and number register names that begin with ], }, and
). Such names should be avoided in
your own files.
The number registers D,
IN, LL, P,
X, d, m, and
x are used internally by the
Solaris man macros. Using .nr D 1 before calling the .TH macro generates pages with different
even and odd footers.[*]
