It is more like: Cpgmrs tlk w cp & hkg awy @ t sym. I remember a
magazine that used to publish a puzzle each month. It was a bit of C
code, and the reader was supposed to figure out what it did. The
winner was the person who came closest, because it sometimes happened
that nobody get it exactly right. So much for the inherent clarity of
Unix. :-)

Agreed.
