Message-ID: <384@maytag.waterloo.edu> Date: 16 Aug 89 16:20:42 GMT Sender: daemon@maytag.waterloo.edu Reply-To: lhf@aries5 (Luiz H. deFigueiredo) Organization: Computer Systems Group, University of Waterloo Lines: 20 A trigraph is a 'escape sequence' to allow C sources to be written in machines that do not have special characters like #{}. The format of a trigraph is: ??= meaning # ??( meaning { ??) meaning } There are others but I don't remember them now. I'd have to check. Anyway, it is not the kind of beast you'd be likely to meet...
