seeking "source files" for the man pages

Asked by Saint DanBert

I fetched the project source files using 'apt-get' on Linux Mint 17.2 (Ubuntu 14.04). I do not find the source files for the man-pages "source files". Where might I find these files?

I found the following article that describes one process for creating 'man page' documentation.
http://blog.terminal.com/tutorial-how-to-write-man-pages/

The article includes an overview of the very old school 'groff' utility markup language that prepared traditional man-page files.
Today (2015) there are other tools available -- some that support write-once, read-multiple formats.

The Systemback Debian manual sources are the 'debian/systemback.1' and the 'debian/systemback-cli.1' files. These are good, other informations are not necessary. Maybe need a new manual file in the project root dir.

Thanks, I did not see those. I regret if I overlooked them in my haste.

I'll review what is there. With your permission may I write some things for your review?

Ok, of course, I will check the modifications.

Can you help with this problem?
