Exactly.  That is exactly what I meant by "tone down 'defined in X'
somehow to hint that these details may change".  

IOW, it may allow us to "cop out" of the problem to say "You'd add a
new file like so, and call this API function, and include headers
necessary to do so.  The codebase may have evolved since this
tutorial was written, so some details (like names of the API
functions and in which header files the functions are declared) may
be different in the code you have."

Oh, sorry to see you took it that way.  I think the change you sent
as-is is a fine fix for the immediate problem.  Everything you
quoted above is "while the issue is fresh on our minds, what are the
follow-up improvements we can make" material, so there is no "mistake"
to fix.
