+.TL
+The Ten Commandments for C Programmers
+.AU
+Henry Spencer
+.IP 1
+Thou shalt run \fIlint\fR frequently and study its pronouncements with
+care, for verily its perception and judgement oft exceed thine.
+.IP 2
+Thou shalt not follow the NULL pointer, for chaos and madness await thee at
+its end.
+.IP 3
+Thou shalt cast all function arguments to the expected type if they are not
+of that type already, even when thou art convinced that this is unnecessary,
+lest they take cruel vengeance upon thee when thou least expect it.
+.IP 4
+If thy header files fail to declare the return types of thy library functions,
+thou shalt declare them thyself with the most meticulous care,
+lest grievous harm befall thy program.
+.IP 5
+Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays),
+for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type
+``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
+.IP 6
+If a function be advertised to return an error code in the event of
+difficulties, thou shalt check for that code, yea, even though the checks
+triple the size of thy code and produce aches in thy typing fingers,
+for if thou thinkest ``it cannot happen to me'',
+the gods shall surely punish thee for thy arrogance.
+.IP 7
+Thou shalt study thy libraries and strive not to re-invent them without cause,
+that thy code may be short and readable and thy days pleasant and productive.
+.IP 8
+Thou shalt make thy program's purpose and structure
+clear to thy fellow man by using the
+One True Brace Style,
+even if thou likest it not,
+for thy creativity is better used in solving problems than in creating
+beautiful new impediments to understanding.
+.IP 9
+Thy external identifiers shall be unique in the first six characters,
+though this harsh discipline be irksome and the years of its necessity
+stretch before thee seemingly without end,
+lest thou tear thy hair out and go mad on that fateful day when
+thou desirest to make thy program run on an old system.
+.IP 10
+Thou shalt foreswear, renounce, and abjure the vile heresy which claimeth
+that ``All the world's a VAX'', and have no commerce with the
+benighted heathens who cling to this barbarous belief,
+that the days of thy program may be long even though the days of thy
+current machine be short.
