Function Synopsis and Syntax
HP-UX functions are described in a definition format rather than a
usage format. The definition format includes type information that is
omitted when the function call is actually included in a program.
The function syntax elements are the same as for commands, except for
the options; see “Command Syntax” on page 7.
Function General
Definition
The general definition form is:
type func ( type param [ , type param ]... );
For example:
int setuname ( const char * name , size_t namelen );
Function Usage The usage form is:
func ( param [ , param ]... );
For example:
setuname ( name [ , namelen ]... );
