In man-pages you don't need to invent syntax at all. You can write int f(char buf[n], int n); and in the context of a man page it will be clear to readers what is meant, though such a syntax would be problematic in actual C source files because of issues with circular dependencies between parameters and with n already being declared in an outer scope. -- Joseph S.
