yes i read the man and i know that is suggested not to use this function. Although i just use it for demonstration for pointers.
That i didn't do is to check the header files. The other thing is that i am total newbie to man 3 and i need some time to get used to it, so please be patient. i see that the usage of external functions are more far than a medium level of Basic programming but i think i can manage it in time.
