macOS .1 file in Xcode

Just a quick question. What is the point of the .1 file that's automatically created when making a new command line utility tool in Xcode?

man page

Xcode.app > Help > Open man Page...
enter: man

Xcode.app > Help > Open man Page...
enter: man

Thanks. But I'm still a bit puzzled as to what the point of the file is exactly.

Sorry, I'm quite new to all this.

Explains both the point of the file, and why the '.1' extension is used.

Thanks for the info. Fileinfo.com is a good reference site for the future as well, so thanks again!
