@scy My standard answer to that question has been just "I read" for over two decades now.

@scy Naaah, RTFM is so 1998...
I've been working with students (teaching C) and they immediately started googling and searching on stackoverflow for the slightest problem.

Then I showed $ man 3 printf (they were working on GNU/Linux) and the response was: "Woa, such detailed parameter description, much better than stackoverflow"

@scy And now you have to tell them that the Linux commands all come with built in man pages that can be accessed via command line by using the command man.
