This is not the real issue. Here are 4 system calls:
char* get_message(void);
char* get_selected_message(int argc, char* argv[]);
char* post_message(const char* message);
void write_data(const char* data);
Here is typical usage:
const char* message = get_message();
const char* result = get_message(1,"John Smith");
const char* response = post_message("Wow. I'm tired.");
write_data("Here is some text.");
How would you feel if I did this?
const char* message = get_message();
const char* result = post_message("John Smith");
const char* response = post_message("Wow. I'm tired.");
write_data("Here is some text.");
As you can see, it's mostly semantics. One emphasises the data
retrieved, the other, the data sent.
