It is well known what it does. You can read it in manuals (and if you like to
cheat) take a look at the available source. It was not a riddle _what_ it does.
In any legal approach.

I'm wrong? You have to de-compile the binary, when you don't have a clue, what
is going on. But that was common sense. It was documented. It still doesn't make
sense to me.
