Convert DOT to 3 (Man Page)

The DOT file extension stands for Microsoft Word Document Template. It is utilized to create standardized document formats with predefined settings such as fonts, layouts, and styles, facilitating uniformity and efficiency. Introduced with older versions of Microsoft Word, DOT files enable users to generate consistent documents across different projects, minimizing the need for repetitive formatting tasks. This legacy format was vital in establishing automated document creation processes before the evolution to newer template formats like DOTX.

The 3 file extension refers to Unix Section 3 manual pages, which document library functions in Unix-based systems. These manual pages, or man pages, provide detailed information about C library functions, excluding system call wrappers. Introduced as part of the Unix documentation system, they help users understand how to use various library functions effectively. You can view these files using the "man" utility or any text editor.
