Modified files:
share/man/man9 style.9
Log:
Add a paragraph which should clarify the separation of asterisks
and adjacent tokens in declarations.
The added text was originally a single sentence I wrote and which
was heavily modified and extended by Bruce Evans.
This clarification attempt originates from differing usage of the
'restrict' type-qualifier.
Although various documents documents dicussing the C Programming
Language put a space between an asterisk and the 'restrict' keyword,
including the C99 standard (at least the n869.txt draft) and other
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG14 documents, the IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 document
does not separate them.
Discussed with: bde
Requested by: tjr
