You've missed out the spaces: extern int socket __P ((int __domain, int __type, int __protocol)); The __P() macro is defined in sys/cdefs.h thus (extraneous lines have been snipped): # if (defined __STDC__ && __STDC__) || defined __cplusplus # define __P(args) args # else /* Not ANSI C or C++. */ # define __P(args) () /* No prototypes. */ # endif /* ANSI C or C++. */ IOW, it generates either K&R or ANSI prototypes as appropriate. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@sensei.co.uk> - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
