The function names are literally just translated versions of standard C - "incluir" instead of "include", "vazio" instead of "void", "principal" instead of "main". The real horror isn't that Brazilian C exists—it's that part of you immediately understood it. Seven years of debugging regular C and now you're fluent in its international variants too. Great.
