- I'm into corrections tonight: The underlined words are inaccurate, they
- indicate a function like this:
-
- int foo(void);
-
- when I meant to indicate something like this:
-
- int foo();
-
- If I change that phrase into ``or a prototype that specifies an
- unknown argument list'', it might convey the intended meaning better.
-
- Thanks to the same person who pointed out my previous blunder.
