Probably not.  Microchip code is usually not well written nor well
documented.

I'm not surprised.  Microchip code generally sucks.  In their defense, data
sheet code snippets are meant to illustrate a single particular feature and
dressing it up as you should in a real project could add confusion and
obscure the point the code snippet is trying to make.  Take the concept, no=
t
the code.

Again, no surprise.  Don't look to Microchip, especially short datasheet
snippets, as examples of good programming.
