Unix Section 8 Manual Page: System Administration (.8)

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.

ROFF Manuscript Document (.ms)

The MS file extension, short for "Manuscript", is associated with the roff (runoff) document formatting system used in Unix-like operating systems. It is part of the GNU roff (groff) implementation, which formats documents such as letters, memoranda, reports, and books. Historically, it evolved from the Multics runoff system in the 1960s and became integral to Unix documentation. The MS macro package supports features like cover pages, table of contents, numbered headings, and multi-column layouts.
