| sizeof() is an operator whose value is determined at compile time. | sizeof(*buf) gives the size of what buf points to. This would be `1' if | buf were a char*, or `4' if buf were an int* [on the i386]. Ahh, so I've probably seen this concept used only on structures then. -- Dan Moschuk (TFreak!dan@freebsd.org) "Cure for global warming: One giant heatsink and dual fans!"
