   5 # Remove the COLOPHON section from the man pages provided as
   6 # command-line arguments.  (This is useful to remove the COLOPHON
   7 # sections from all of the man pages in two different release trees
   8 # in order to do a "diff -ruN" to see the "real" differences between
   9 # the trees.)
