How is that not self-documenting if one knows C?

[maffydub]

I think you and I might disagree on the meaning of self-documenting. ;)

[peterfirefly]

I don't think we really do.

It is impenetrable black magick if one "knows" C -- but quite clear if one /actually/ knows C.

No. The printf() requires that one has read K&R. That's not a high barrier to clear. Pointers are chapter 5.
