Where do UNIX manpages come from? Who introduced the section-based layout of <b>NAME</b>, <b>SYNOPSIS</b>, and so on?
|
||
|
|
And for manpage authors: where were those economical two- and three-letter instructions developed?

The many accounts available on the Internet lack citations and are at times inconsistent.

In this article, I reconstruct the history of the UNIX manpage based on source code, manuals, and first-hand accounts.

Its legacy is considerable:
|

not only do contemporary manpages inherit from <span class="cmd">RUNOFF</span>, many of them, in fact,
|
||
|
|
use instructions identical to those specified in the original <span class="cmd">RUNOFF</span> manual.

Input generally consists of English text, 36O or fewer characters to a line. Control words must

begin a new line, and they begin with a period so that they may be distinguished from other

text. <span class="cmd">RUNOFF</span> does not print the control words.

Of the many abbreviated <span class="cmd">RUNOFF</span> control words, macros such as <code>sp</code>
|

|
|
and <code>br</code> are still common-place. According to <a href="#saltzer">Saltzer</a> and the source
|

|
|
literature, the syntax of <span class="cmd">RUNOFF</span> inherits loosely from the prior <span

|

|
|
by M. J. Leslie Lowry, Fernando J. Corbató, and J. Richard Steinberg, 1963. The original purpose

|
effort of the <abbr title="Compatible Time-Sharing System">CTSS</abbr> at
|

|
|
<abbr title="Massachusettes Institute of Technology">MIT</abbr> to the GE-635 (in 635 assembly). The <a class="cmd"
|

href="#x1964_RUNOFF">RUNOFF</a> utility is suspected to be part of this port. The ported <abbr

|

|
|
replaced by Nike hardware), but ended up being used for five more years. No sources could be located

for this CTSS port.

Little is known about this speculated port of <a href="#x1964_RUNOFF" class="cmd">RUNOFF</a>, only that

|
it was called <span class="cmd">roff</span> and probably ran on Bell Labs'

<abbr title="General Comprehensive Operating System">GCOS</abbr>-II GE-635. <a href="#ritchie">Ritchie</a> is commonly cited

<blockquote cite="http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/360/cp67/">

Thus the backspace key allows underscoring and overprinting at the terminal for <span

|
||
|
|
does not take up a column in the record; it logically backspaces one column...

<a href="#mcilroy">McIlroy</a>'s port is at times referred to as <span class="cmd">runoff</span>, at
|
||
|
|
times as <span class="cmd">roff</span>. The reason for renaming is not entirely clear: <q>I see that I
|
||
|
|
called it <span class="cmd">runoff</span> in 1969. By 1971 it was <span class="cmd">roff</span>. Now
|
||
|
|
I'm not so sure I got the name from <a href="#morris">Morris</a>. Conceivably it came from <a
|
||
|
|
href="#thompson">Thompson</a>, who was big on shortening names. My 1971 description came in January;
|
||
|
|
the first ediion [sic] Unix manual is dated December 1971.</q>

Most of the programming team for Multics continued working with UNIX at AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill,
|
||
|
|
so it's no surprise that Multics <span class="cmd">runoff</span> was incorporated as UNIX <span
|
||
|
|
class="cmd">roff(1)</span> in Version 1 AT&T UNIX, 1971. This was a PDP-11 assembly-language port
|
||
|
|
of the <abbr title="Basic Combined Programming Language">BCPL</abbr> <a class="cmd"
|
||
|
|
href="#x1969">runoff</a>.
|
||
|
|
According to <a href="#mcilroy">McIlroy</a>, <a href="#ossanna">Ossanna</a> convinced the AT&T
|
||
|
|
patent department to use UNIX and <span class="cmd">roff(1)</span> for formatting patent applications,
|
||
|
|
and according to <a href="#thompson">Thompson</a>, that usage was the justification for the PDP-11
|
||
|
|
purchase.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
There are many differing accounts of who wrote this version, but most settle on <a
|
||
|
|
href="#ossanna">Ossanna</a>, <a href="#ritchie">Ritchie</a>, and <a href="#thompson">Thompson</a>.
|
||
|
|
However, the first-hand accounts of <a href="#mcilroy">McIlroy</a>, <a href="#kernighan">Kernighan</a>,
|
||
|
|
and Thompson settle on Ritchie as the primary author. This is corroborated by Ritchie's expertise in
|
||
|
|
<abbr title="Basic Combined Programming Language">BCPL</abbr>, as <span class="cmd">roff(1)</span> was
|
||
|
|
based upon McIlroy's <abbr title="Basic Combined Programming Language">BCPL</abbr> <a
|
||
|
|
href="#x1969" class="cmd">runoff</a>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, the first <span class="cmd">roff(1)</span> version is lost. Some sources from Version 1
|
||
|
|
AT&T UNIX have been reconstructed from old tapes, but <span class="cmd">roff(1)</span> was not among
|
||
|
|
them. All that remains from this time are manual entries and first-hand accounts. However, the
|
||
|
|
PDP-11 source for Version 5 AT&T UNIX still exists, and by first-hand accounts, is a modified
|
||
|
|
form of the original.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Version 1 AT&T UNIX <span class="cmd">roff(1)</span> is also notable, regarding manpages, for its
|
||
|
|
release of the First Edition UNIX Programmer's Manual, which defines the manpage structure and layout
|
||
|
|
enjoyed in the present day. <a href="#thompson">Thompson</a> conceived of this convention, inspired by
|
||
|
|
the Multics MSPM, itself inspired by the CTSS manuals.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The source code of Version 1 and 2 AT&T UNIX manual pages may not have survived;
|
||
|
|
only typeset versions are known.

<a href="#ossanna">Ossanna</a> took over the PDP-11 <a class="cmd" href="#x1971">roff(1)</a> and built
|
||
|
|
<span class="cmd">nroff(1)</span>, which focussed on outputting text onto terminals, for Version 2
|
||
|
|
AT&T UNIX. The exact motivations for this are unknown, but are vaguely agreed as evolving the
|
||
|
|
utility and language to support more advanced formatting.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Unfortunately, a source record of the original effort is entirely lost; however, later versions of the
|
||
|
|
PDP-11 source (for Version 6 AT&T UNIX) and manual page (Version 3 AT&T UNIX) are available.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<a href="#thompson">Thompson</a> mentions that <span class="cmd">nroff(1)</span> introduced the notion
|
||
|
|
of programmable macros. This is corroborated by the Version 6 AT&T UNIX source for <span
|
||
|
|
class="cmd">nroff(1)</span>, where files under the prefix <span class="file">/usr/lib/tmac.</span> are
|
||
|
|
parsed for macros (see <span class="file">nroff.8</span> in the Version 6 AT&T archive). This same
|
||
|
|
behaviour is not reproduced in the <a class="cmd" href="#x1971">roff(1)</a> sources from the same time,
|
||
|
|
so it makes sense that this is the first appearance of macros.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
On the other hand, the manual pages for Version 3 AT&T UNIX (Feb. 1973)
|
||
|
|
were still written in raw roff without using any macro set.

Original sources for this version of AT&T UNIX are also lost; however, the manual still exists, and
|

|
|
records of the PDP-11 source exist in raw tape data for Version 6 AT&T UNIX (which apparently

couldn't be reconstructed).

From Version 4 AT&T UNIX (Nov. 1973) to Version 6 AT&T UNIX (May 1975),
|
||
|
|
a simple macro set was used for writing manual pages,
|
||
|
|
but the macros were completely incompatible with macro sets used today.

In around 1975, <a href="#ossanna">Ossanna</a> re-wrote <a class="cmd" href="#x1973">troff(1)</a> in the

C-language. However, in 1977 this work was discontinued and sources were untouched for nearly two years

until resumed by <a href="#kernighan">Kernighan</a>:

After Joe <a href="#ossanna">Ossanna</a> died in late 1977, <a class="cmd"

|
|
href="#x1973">troff</a> was static for probably close to two years, since no one had the time
|
||
|
|
and courage to touch it. It was entirely in C at that point, somewhat over 9000 lines as I
|
||
|
|
remember. I simply modified it, gradually getting around some of the limitations on fonts,
|
||
|
|
making use of dynamic memory, and generating "device-independent" output for devices whose

properties were specified in dynamically loaded files.

The result is the first intact UNIX <span class="cmd">troff(1)</span> source. By Version 7 AT&T
|
||
|
|
UNIX, both <span class="cmd">nroff(1)</span> and <span class="cmd">troff(1)</span> are built from the
|
||
|
|
same C sources, separated by preprocessor conditionals, while <span class="cmd">roff(1)</span> was still
|
||
|
|
built in its PDP-11 assembly. The <span class="cmd">ditroff(1)</span> name origin is unknown. <a
|
||
|
|
href="#kernighan">Kernighan</a> writes, <q cite="history/kernighan_23_10_2011.txt">I'm pretty sure that
|
||
|
|
I only talked about a "device independent troff"; the name "ditroff" came from somewhere else, and I've
|

never been fond of it.</q>

<a href="#kernighan">Kernighan</a>'s device-independent <span class="cmd">troff(1)</span> was repackaged
|
||
|
|
in commercial AT&T (and derivative) UNIX systems for years to come. In circa 1978, the <abbr
|
||
|
|
title="Documenter's Workbench">DWB</abbr> featured <span class="cmd">troff(1)</span> as its mainstay;
|
||
|
|
later, the <abbr title="Writer's Workbench">WWB</abbr> bolted on many additional word-processing
|
||
|
|
utilities. These applications were repackaged in 1989 by <abbr title="Unix System
|
||
|
|
Laboratories">USL</abbr>, a subsidiary of AT&T Bell Laboratories. The DWB tools were then bought by
|
||
|
|
SoftQuad in circa 1978, which rebranded <span class="cmd">troff(1)</span> as <span
|
||
|
|
class="cmd">sqtroff(1)</span>.

When Douglas McIlroy edited volume 1 of the manual pages for Version 7 AT&T UNIX,
|
||
|
|
he revised the manual page macros substantially, first designing and implementing
|
||
|
|
most of the macros that are still used in the man(7) language today.

The Plan 9 operating system, initially released in 1991 from AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill, is a
|
||
|
|
research system extending the UNIX model. It included <a class="cmd" href="#x1979">ditroff(1)</a>,
|
||
|
|
which was steadily improved by <a href="#kernighan">Kernighan</a> to include features such as <abbr
|
||
|
|
title="UCS Transformation Format">UTF</abbr> encoding. The <span class="cmd">troff(1)</span> for Plan 9
|
||
|
|
was not free software until the Third Edition in June, 2000, when sources were licensed under the Plan 9
|
||
|
|
license. It was again re-licenced in 2002 under the Lucent Public Licence 1.02.

The GNU <a class="cmd" href="#x1979">troff</a> is popularly considered to be the most wide-spread in
|
||
|
|
modern UNIX installations. It's bundled by default on most GNU/Linux operating systems. This port,
|
||
|
|
renamed <span class="cmd">groff</span>, was written by James Clark in 1989 specifically for the GNU
|
||
|
|
project. At this time, no open-source implementation existed.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The <span class="cmd">groff</span> port was based purely from <a href="#x1979" class="cmd" >troff</a>
|
||
|
|
documentation as shipped with SunOS 4.1.4, and was written in C++ on Sun 4/110 (initial implementations
|
||
|
|
of the GNU C++ compiler were on Sun, making it an ideal starting point).

According to <a href="#spencer">Spencer</a>, <span class="cmd">awf</span> was necessary for the
|
||
|
|
portability of C News, a USENET news server written by Spencer and Geoff Collyer in 1987. The project
|
||
|
|
wished to distribute manpage sources, but since <a class="cmd" href="#x1979">ditroff(1)</a> sources were
|
||
|
|
still license-encumbered, needed to guarantee portability to un-licensed UNIX systems.

Purdue. The motivation of this port was to <q cite="ftp://lsof.itap.purdue.edu/pub/cawf.zip">[produce]

a C language version that would run on small systems, particularly MS-DOS ones</q>.
