Notes on used style

This is not some sort of guiding or prescribing document, but rather a description of style of code I already started writing by now.

CamelCase functions mixed with more obvious for C naming

Original book is written with examples in turbo pascal. I started rewriting it in C and decided to preserve style of naming of functions, that appeared first in the book and wouldn’t be introduced by myself.

K&R indent

Just c-set-style to k&r in emacs.

strlcpy and strlcat functions

Trying to follow KNF to some extent and use advantages of the OpenBSD and latest POSIX standard.

fns.h and dat.h headers

I put function prototypes into fns.h and some C preprocessor constans into dat.h as 9front style from aiju.de stated.

BYTE as a short form of writing unsigned char

I really love how it is close to truth and writing byte with M-b M-u to upcase is very easy.

functions that takes void and returns void and change external state

This is because I tried to follow tutorial and it is written with short Pascal procedures.
