+\(bu Do I ever need to use an empty macro argument ("")?
+Probably not.
FWIW, man-pages(7) says it's OK to use empty string for the 4th argument
of .TH:
"For library calls that are part of glibc or one of the other common GNU
libraries, just use GNU C Library, GNU, or an empty string."
There used to be a lot of such .TH calls; now there's only a few left:
Yeah, I fixed most of them to silence a warning, IIRC.
The below, I couldn't fix them for 2 different reasons.
In posixoptions(7), I don't know what to use. POSIX?
The other pages are taken from other projects; we don't maintain them:
$ cat MAINTAINER_NOTES
Externally generated pages
==========================
A few pages come from external sources. Fixes to the pages should really
go to the upstream source.
tzfile(5), zdump(8), and zic(8) come from the tz project
(https://www.iana.org/time-zones).
bpf-helpers(7) is autogenerated from the kernel sources using scripts.
See man-pages commits 53666f6c3 and 19c7f7839 for details.
