Every single one. Every function -(with two types of exceptions), every extern variable, every #define, every -typedef, every struct and union definition. This facilitates generating man -pages, 1 per, as well has header generation. - -The two exceptions are math functions (in <math.h>, <complex.h>, and -<tgmath.h>) that are defined identically for all three floating point types, -and Curses functions (in <curses.h>) that include w and possible mv and mvw -prefixed versions.
