Convert RTF to 9 (Man Page)

RTF, short for Rich Text Format, is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987. It allows users to transfer formatted text and images between different word processors and platforms, ensuring consistency in document appearance. RTF supports basic text formatting, such as bold, italics, and various font types, making it a versatile choice for simple document exchange. Its historical significance lies in its widespread adoption for cross-platform document sharing before the advent of more complex formats like DOCX and PDF. RTF remains relevant for applications that require straightforward, platform-independent text formatting.

The 9 file extension refers to Section 9 of the Unix manual pages, specifically covering Kernel Routines. These manual pages provide detailed information on kernel APIs, internal structures, and other essential aspects of kernel development. Developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1971, Section 9 is crucial for kernel developers but is not universally available due to its specialized nature.
