Description

If the value of refentry.version.suppress is non-zero, then during refentry metadata gathering, no "version" data is added to the refentry "source" contents. Instead (unless refentry.source.name.suppress is also non-zero), only "source name" data is added to the "source" contents.

If you find that the refentry metadata gathering mechanism is causing unwanted "version" data to show up in your output -- for example, in the footer (or possibly header) of a man page -- then you might consider setting a non-zero value for refentry.version.suppress.

Note that the terms "source", "source name", and "version" have special meanings in this context. For details, see the documentation for the refentry.source.name.profile parameter.
