(This applies to programming in C) What is the significance of the '_' character in the following usage?
printf(_("This is fetchmail release %s"), VERSION);
Why the '_' and why the additional ()'s around the string constant?
This looks like _ does something special to the ()-part...?
Could the following have done the job just as well instead?
printf("This is fetchmail release %s", VERSION);
Thanks for any insight
