Description
The value of refentry.source.name.profile
is a string representing an XPath expression. It is evaluated at
run-time and used only if
refentry.source.name.profile.enabled is
non-zero. Otherwise, the refentry metadata-gathering logic
"hard coded" into the stylesheets is used.
A "source name" is one part of a (potentially) two-part
Name Version
"source" field. In man pages, it is usually displayed in the left
footer of the page. It typically indicates the software system or
product that the item documented in the man page belongs to. The
man(7) man page describes it as "the source of
the command", and provides the following examples:
For binaries, use something like: GNU, NET-2, SLS
Distribution, MCC Distribution.
For system calls, use the version of the kernel that you
are currently looking at: Linux 0.99.11.
For library calls, use the source of the function: GNU, BSD
4.3, Linux DLL 4.4.1.
In practice, there are many pages that simply have a Version
number in the "source" field. So, it looks like what we have is a
two-part field,
Name Version,
where:
Name
product name (e.g., BSD) or org. name (e.g., GNU)
Version
version number
Each part is optional. If the Name is a
product name, then the Version is probably
the version of the product. Or there may be no
Name, in which case, if there is a
Version, it is probably the version
of the item itself, not the product it is part of. Or, if the
Name is an organization name, then there
probably will be no Version.
