I saw it at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1305.html
Is it not the same as writing ``if (m)'' ?
Please include your question in the body of the article, not just in
the subject header.
The subject is:
What is the purpose of the construct ``if (m <<= 0)'' ?
Yes, it should be the same as "if (m)". I have no idea why it's
written that way, unless it's a typo for "if (m <= 0)". (I'm not
impressed with the formatting of the code either.)
Since RFC 1305 describes the NTP protocol, this might be a good
question for comp.protocols.time.ntp -- but first, check that
newsgroup's archives and FAQ, if any.
And this is just a hunch, but I suspect you'll need to read
