Convert DOC (Word) to 2 (Man Page)

The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.

A 2 file extension refers to a Unix manual page (man page) that documents a specific system call. These files are part of the Section 2 of the Unix manual, which is dedicated to system calls. Each 2 file is named after the system call it describes, such as "link.2" for the "link" system call. These files are intended to be viewed using the "man" utility in Unix-based systems. Historically, they have been a fundamental part of Unix documentation, providing detailed information on how to use system calls, their return values, possible errors, and related manual pages.
