man.show.top.comment.date
boolean
man.show.top.comment.date
Include metadata date in top comment section
1
Description
If non-zero, the metadata date is included in the group of metadata
comments at the top of the generated man page file. That group includes
Title, Author, etc. If the value is zero, then that date comment
is omitted. The default value is 1.
If the refentry page info does not include a date element,
then the current date is used, that is, the date the man page was generated from
the refentry. In archiving systems, this can trigger a change of version that
is not desired when no changes were actually made. This parameter allows you to
omit the top comment date in the generated man page.
