Hi,

The manpage of stdarg / va_stuff contains five occurrences of the string "...".

At the first four it's the standard way of denoting that the user
(developer) has to fill in the missing bits. At the fifth occurrence
it needs to remain there as-is.

May I recommend to clarify it, e.g. like this:

void
foo(char *fmt, ... /* three literal dots */)

I see what you mean. I instead added the comment:

    /* '...' is C syntax for a variadic function */

Thanks for the report!

Cheers,

Michael
