What Does This C Program Do?

What does this C program do? int __cdecl main(int argc, const char **argv, const char **envp) { unsigned int v4; // kr00_4 _BYTE *v5; // eax const char *v6; // ecx signed int v7; // edi int i; // eax int v9; // esi unsigned __int8 v10; // bl int v11; // ecx const char *v12; // esi int v13; // ebx unsigned int v14; // edi int v15; // esi unsigned __int8 v16; // cl unsigned v17; // esi unsigned int i; // edi _BYTE *v19; // [esp+4h] [ebp-114h] const char *v20; // [esp+8h] [ebp-110h] const char *v21; // [esp+Ch] [ebp-10Ch]

A screenshot shows a dark-themed code view with a question asking what a C program does, followed by confusing decompiler output full of generic variables and register comments. The joke is that reverse-engineered code is nearly impossible to understand at a glance, making the screenshot a reaction to unreadable or intimidating programming code.
