style/authors —
the AUTHORS section
The normal place to credit the authors of both code and manuals is the AUTHORS
section. The normal format to credit an individual author is:
.An
Firstname(s) Lastname
Aq Mt
localpart@domain
If there is more than one author, there are two styles to list them. If you just
want to give the names and optionally email addresses without any further
information, simply provide one line for each:
.Sh AUTHORS
.An name Aq Mt email
.An name Aq Mt email
...
Alternatively, select
-nosplit mode and write
complete sentences, as in the following example:
.Sh AUTHORS
.An -nosplit
.Nm sysmerge
was written by
.An Antoine Jacoutot Aq Mt ajacoutot@openbsd.org .
It was originally started as a friendly fork from mergemaster by
.An Douglas Barton Aq Mt DougB@FreeBSD.org .
