Hmmm, he didn't publish 6.16 yet, indeed.  I hadn't realized.

That would be okay, although Debian is sometimes also a bit laggy.

Arch might be more up-to-date when man7.org isn't.
<https://man.archlinux.org/man/open_tree.2.en>

IIRC, Arch has a good track of being the quickest distro to package new
releases of the Linux man-pages project.

In any case, I think either of man7/Debian unstable/Arch is a relatively
good choice.


Have a lovely night!
