CHKTRI(1) πŸ’…βœ¨ check for trigraphs in C source code

okay bestie, welcome to the CHKTRI(1) page, straight out of the General Commands Manual. It's giving very specific C-code detective energy, and honestly? Obsessed.


✨ NAME ✨

  • chktri β€” check for trigraphs in C source code. periodt.

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

chktri [file ...]

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

So like, this program looks for lines containing trigraphs in C source code. No cap.

Trigraphs are a way to represent certain characters in C source code as two question marks and a third character. For example, a backslash could be represented as ??/. Iconic, lowkey cursed, but iconic.

For a detail specification, see section 5.2.1.1 in the ISO 9899:1990 standard or any decent C book. (You don't really want to know.) 😭
