The 8 file extension refers to Unix Section 8 Manual Pages, which document system administration commands, daemons, and hardware-related commands. These files are part of the Unix operating system's manual pages and are intended to be viewed using the "man" utility. Each 8 file is named after the command it describes, such as "shutdown.8" for the shutdown command. Historically, Unix manual pages have been a fundamental part of Unix documentation since the early 1970s, providing essential information for system administrators and users.
The MDOWN file extension stands for "Markdown Documentation". It is used for files written in Markdown, a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax designed by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz in 2004. MDOWN files are commonly employed in software development to create readable and editable documentation, leveraging Markdown's simplicity for formatting text, lists, code blocks, and links. The historical significance of MDOWN lies in its facilitation of seamless documentation, enhancing clarity and accessibility across various platforms while remaining developer-friendly.
