You request +the use of a header file in your program by <em>including</em> it, with the +C preprocessing directive ‘<samp>#include</samp>’. +</p> +<p>Header files serve two purposes. +</p> +<ul> +<li> <a name="index-system-header-files"></a> +System header files declare the interfaces to parts of the operating +system. You include them in your program to supply the definitions and +declarations you need to invoke system calls and libraries. + +</li><li> Your own header files contain declarations for interfaces between the +source files of your program. Each time you have a group of related +declarations and macro definitions all or most of which are needed in +several different source files, it is a good idea to create a header +file for them. +</li></ul> + +<p>Including a header file produces the same results as copying the header +file into each source file that needs it. Such copying would be +time-consuming and error-prone. With a header file, the related +declarations appear in only one place. If they need to be changed, they +can be changed in one place, and programs that include the header file +will automatically use the new version when next recompiled. The header +file eliminates the labor of finding and changing all the copies as well +as the risk that a failure to find one copy will result in +inconsistencies within a program. +</p> +<p>In C, the usual convention is to give header files names that end with +<samp>.h</samp>. It is most portable to use only letters, digits, dashes, and +underscores in header file names, and at most one dot. +</p> +<table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> +<tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="Include-Syntax.html#Include-Syntax" accesskey="1">Include Syntax</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> +</td></tr> +<tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="Include-Operation.html#Include-Operation" accesskey="2">Include Operation</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> +</td></tr> +<tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="Search-Path.html#Search-Path" accesskey="3">Search Path</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> +</td></tr> +<tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="Once_002dOnly-Headers.html#Once_002dOnly-Headers" accesskey="4">Once-Only Headers</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> +</td></tr> +<tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="Alternatives-to-Wrapper-_0023ifndef.html#Alternatives-to-Wrapper-_0023ifndef" accesskey="5">Alternatives to Wrapper #ifndef</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> +</td></tr> +<tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="Computed-Includes.html#Computed-Includes" accesskey="6">Computed Includes</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> +</td></tr> +<tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="Wrapper-Headers.html#Wrapper-Headers" accesskey="7">Wrapper Headers</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> +</td></tr> +<tr><td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="System-Headers.html#System-Headers" accesskey="8">System Headers</a>:</td><td> </td><td align="left" valign="top"> +</td></tr> +</table> + +<hr> +<div class="header"> +<p> +Next: <a href="Macros.html#Macros" accesskey="n" rel="next">Macros</a>, Previous: <a href="Overview.html#Overview" accesskey="p" rel="previous">Overview</a>, Up: <a href="index.html#Top" accesskey="u" rel="up">Top</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Index-of-Directives.html#Index-of-Directives" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> +</div> + + + +</body> +</html> |
