If you just move these module_* lines to the bottom of the file, you
shouldn't need the function prototype at all, right?

Care to make that change here instead?

thanks,

I will rework this one.


For dgap_init_module that works fine. But since dgap_cleanup_module is actually called from dgap_init_module if things don't go right, I seem to need a function prototype for it. Should I assume this is wrong and dgap_cleanup_module should never actually be called directly?

Thanks
Mark
