> Sometime, however, you just need to be familiar with enough projects in C that common-sense gets built.

And if every C project takes this same philosophy to poor documentation, how exactly is a new person learning C supposed to build that common sense? Brushing off poor documentation with "you just need more experience" is not a valid response. The documentation for that function could be much more clearer without being much longer.



My point is not that it was good or acceptable, my point is that, while not perfect, it isn't bad enough to warrant the moniker of `insane`.
