為什麼這個手冊頁有今天的日期？

為什麼沒有我對系統進行任何更新，特定man頁面（在我的情況下，對於nc命令）會有今天的日期？另外，為什麼“無人值守更新”日誌沒有顯示當天的任何特定活動？

2018-03-14 07:47:38,124 INFO Initial blacklisted packages:

這是nc手冊頁的頁腳：

BSD                             March 14, 2018                             BSD

那是在 Linux Mint 17 (qiana) 上，基於 Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty)，帶有 groff 1.22.2 和 man-db 2.6.7.1。

編輯

請求的命令輸出：

1. man -aw nc

/usr/share/man/man1/nc_openbsd.1.gz

2. ls -ld $(man -aw nc)

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.7K Dec  4  2012 /usr/share/man/man1/nc_openbsd.1.gz

這很奇怪……

3. dpkg -S $(man -aw nc)?

netcat-openbsd: /usr/share/man/man1/nc_openbsd.1.gz

4. type -a man

man is /usr/bin/man

5. zgrep docdate $(man -aw nc)

.Dd $Mdocdate: February 7 2012 $

6. 添加頁腳 strace -f man nc 2>&1 | grep -e '^BSD' -e '"/.*nc'

似乎日期沒有硬編碼。可能是生成今天日期的宏。 8. env | grep -e ROFF -e MAN -e GRO

GNU roff 過去不支持這些：

.Dd $Mdocdate: February 7 2012 $

OpenBSD 擴展（這裡$Mdocdate: ...$是 CVS 擴展的 CVS/RCS 關鍵字（OpenBSD 用於對其程式碼進行版本控制）與手動修訂的日期），導致目前日期被擴展而不是指定的日期。我可以在 Ubuntu 14.04 上為所有具有此類Mdocdate.

請參閱https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42968在https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff-commit/2014-10/msg00092.html（groff版本 1.22.3）中實現。

---

對於來自 MirBSD（現在的 MirOS）的手冊頁，例如使用相同的CVS 關鍵字的paxcpioor ，您會發現手冊頁自己重新定義（包裝） mdoc 宏，因此 roff 系統宏不必支持它：mksh``$Mdocdate: ...$``.Dd

.\"
.\" Implement .Dd with the Mdocdate RCS keyword
.\"
.rn Dd xD
.de Dd
.ie ^G\\$1^G$Mdocdate:^G \{\
.       xD \\$2 \\$3, \\$4
.\}
.el .xD \\$1 \\$2 \\$3 \\$4 \\$5 \\$6 \\$7 \\$8
..
.\"
.\" .Dd must come before definition of .Mx, because when called
.\" with -mandoc, it might implement .Mx itself, but we want to
.\" use our own definition. And .Dd must come *first*, always.
.\"
.Dd $Mdocdate: August 16 2017 $
