HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Configuration Management HP-UX 11i v3 (B3921-90017, September 2010)

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