Function attributes such as __near and __farThe function is the fundamental modular unit in C. A function is usually designed to perform a specific task, and its name often reflects that task. A function contains declarations and statements. This chapter describes how to declare, define, and call C functions. Other topics discussed are:
Function attributes such as __near and __far
Calling conventions such as __cdecl, __pascal, and __fortran
Export, inline, and interrupt functions
Storage classes for functions
Return types
Function arguments and parameters
Function declarations are also discussed in Chapter 3, “Declarations and Types.”
