The source file, pdfmark.ms, uses it and includes voluminous
commands about how to use it. It works like this:

.NH 2
.XN This is the Heading
.LP
etc….

You can also specify a named PDF link destination, if you need to
cross-reference back to the section:

.NH 2
.XN thisplace -- This is the Heading
.LP

Put a .TC at the end of your document to output the table of contents.
I’m not sure if pdfmark relocates the Table of Contents for you, but it
does appear in the right place in the PDF file.

Hope that helps,
