Sorry for the basic question, but why does it not return a pointer to an unsigned char? I mean, I looked in K&R but it does explain the rational (as far as I could tell...)
Thanks
How droll of me. I'm jusing "char" :)
You wait and see how far that gets you if you ever have to program under MISRA C rules, one of which is "no use of fundamental types like char, int, etc. except in typedefs".
