_tmain() , _tprintf(), ... --> '_t' ?

Hi,

why use '_tmain()' as entry point of the program in a console-application ?

why is _tmain() used instead of main() ?
_tprintf() instead of printf() ?

why '_t' ?

thnx

See: <tchar.h>
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vccore/html/
_core_generic.2d.text_mappings_in_tchar..h.asp

In short:
It is usefull if you make programs for ANSI/MBCS and UNICODE charsets.

Chris,

Have a look at the topic titled "Using Generic-Text Mappings" in MSDN.
