Pardon me, but the lines you are looking for are at the top of page 188
of K&R, and they read:

    "The sizeof operator yields the size, in bytes, of its operand.
    (A byte is undefined by the language except in terms of the value of
    sizeof.  However, in all existing implementations a byte is the space
    required to hold a char.)
			       When applied to an array, the result is the
    total number of bytes in the array.

Actually, most (but certainly not all!) C features can be determined
by reading the lines.
