STROUSTRUP(3) C Library Functions STROUSTRUP(3)
NAME
stroustrup - add unnecessary complexity to language
SYNOPSIS
volatile char *stroustrup(const char *)
DESCRIPTION
stroustrup applies the classic European transformation on
succint grammars. The output string removes all useful
predictability of execution input string. Liberal embell-
ishments applied include anthropomorphic suggestions like
'friend'. Also, the more sexually malformed Freudian conno-
tations like 'private' parts, and pubic, nay, public parts
are featured.
Classically readable grammars may be totally replaced
through the creative use of overloading. Features like rede-
fining '+' to be '-' result in positive enjoyment from the
output, and serve to increase low life programmer time in
the search for meaning.
Useful overall to mask programming simplicity, thereby pro-
viding the unsuspecting manager type with an image of
extreme complexity, resulting in perceived value added
status for the programmer. Most often confused with the
mathematics library function 'rand'.
