Quoting Wikipedia [1]: "The form feed character is sometimes used in plain text files of source code as a delimiter for a page break, or as marker for sections of code. Some editors, in particular emacs and vi, have built-in commands to page up/down on the form feed character." > Many, if not all, of them were in the initial commit: In the ancient times, most editors enabled you to edit one file at a time. That's the reason why people put a lot of code in a single file - you cited regcomp.c and regexec.c in particular - and therefore needed a way to dissect the file into sections or pages. Nowadays it is more common to distribute the code over several files. Bruno [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_break
