-This is a Posix utility, but ⛩️📰 书社 currently depends on

### `file`
This is a Posix utility, but ⛩️📰 书社 currently depends on
installed by default in many distributions.
Only `ustar` format support is required.
-### `stat`
-
-This is not a Posix utility, and nor is it particularly portable.
-To get around incompatibilities, ⛩️📰 书社 attempts to recognize G·N·U
- `stat` by searching for the string `GNU` when invoked with the
- `--version` option, and falls back to B·S·D behaviour otherwise.

## Parsers
- **`SRCTIME`:**
The time at which the source file was last modified.
+ Due to limitations in Posix, this time will only have minute
+ precision if the file was modified in the last six months, and will
+ only have day precision if the file is older.
+ Users should not expect this value to be particularly stable.
- **`THISREV`:**
The value of the `THISREV` variable (if present).
A plaintext (U·T·F‐8) file will be produced from the text nodes in
the transformation result.
-## Pagination
-
-It is possible to have a single source file produce multiple output
- files via `<书社:page>` elements, whose `@name` gives the name of the
- page.
-If a parsed document has a `@书社:destination` which contains `%s`,
- the `%s` will be replaced with the `@name` for each `<书社:page>` (and
- removed for the main output).
-Otherwise, the `@name` is inserted before the first period of the
- filename (or at the end of the filename for those with no period).
-If `<书社:page>`s do not have a `@name`, they are numbered
- sequentially.
-The destination of pages must be in the same directory as their parent.
-
-Pagination essentially forms a limited convenience for the more
- sophisticated technique of creating an archive with ⛩️📰 书社 and
- then unarchiving it.
-Pages are, from Make’s point of view, untracked side·effects of
- installing the main output, meaning they cannot be targeted directly
- and will not appear in `make list` or `make listout`.
-They are intended solely for the like of indices and feeds, for which
- convenience and necessity outweigh their flaws.
