PC-Lint: Read the message documentation carefully

Most messages are parametrized with a string, type, or symbol. Depending on the type of the parameter, the message can be suppressed with either -estring, -etype, or -esym. The message documentation (the endless list at the end of the user manual) exactly documents the type of the parameters of each message. Don't rely on common sense, the name of a type or function might very will be displayed in a string parameter. Caveat: I experienced once that the documentation is wrong in respect to the parameter type, but otherwise I found the documentation to be helpful.
