This modern C declaration:
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
exit(1);
}
is written thus in K&R:
int main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{
exit(1);
}

I guess you predate me. ;-) When I started learning C, it was already in
the ANSI syntax, though there were enough K&R style code floating around
that I've at least _seen_ K&R syntax. I'm guessing nowadays most people
don't even know what K&R syntax is.
