Remove: This page is the
terminal-friendly counterpart to the project README: no badges, images, or
the web compatibility grid, just the reference a man reader needs.
docs/man/ctl.h.3 was generated from docs/index.md, a near-verbatim copy
of README.md: badges/CI links, 13 `![]()` image references ronn can't
render ("unrecognized inline tag: [\"img\"]" x13), and the ~700-row
method-coverage compatibility grid rendered as an unreadably wide
table ("table wider than line length", "cannot adjust line"). 758
lines of mostly-noise output.
docs/ctl.md is a dedicated, terminal-appropriate NAME/SYNOPSIS/
DESCRIPTION/CONTAINERS/SEE ALSO/BUGS/AUTHOR page: no images, no grid,
one line per container linking to its own man page. 107 lines, zero
ronn/groff warnings.
Also stopped generating-then-discarding docs/man/index.h.3,
memory.h.3 and numeric.h.3 (the `man` recipe already deleted them
right after building them) by excluding them from $(MANPAGES) instead.
index.md's own rule transitively required rebuilding README.md and
every listed test binary just to produce a man page that was thrown
away immediately after; `make man`/`make install` no longer do that.
Verified: ronn and groff -man both exit 0 with no warnings on the new
ctl.h.3; `make -n man` no longer touches README.md or any test
binary; `make check` passes.
