Subject: man/man3/[static_]assert.3: SYNOPSIS: Use 'bool' instead of 'scalar'
X-Git-Tag: man-pages-6.14~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c3c29f2b0c9e091d8c296d1ea9f6f269b70a04c7;p=thirdparty%2Fman-pages.git

man/man3/[static_]assert.3: SYNOPSIS: Use 'bool' instead of 'scalar'

The type _Bool perfectly models these APIs.  Conversion from any scalar
type to _Bool results in true if the value is non-zero, and false if it
is zero.
