+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm typeof
+.Nd GNU extension for type of an expression
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Ft type
+.Fn typeof "expression"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn typeof
+construct can be used to obtain the type of an expression.
+The syntax is comparable to that of
+.Fn sizeof ,
+but semantically
+.Fn typeof
+operates like a type name defined with
+.Em typedef .
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following is a typical example of a type-generic macro:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+#define MAX(a, b) ({ \\
+ typeof(a) _a = (a); \\
+ typeof(b) _b = (b); \\
+ _a > _b ? _a : _b; \\
+})
+.Ed
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr gcc 1 ,
+.Xr __alignof__ 3 ,
+.Xr attribute 3 ,
+.Xr offsetof 3
+.Sh CAVEATS
+The
+.Fn typeof
+construct is a non-standard, compiler-specific extension.
