NAME
cdefs -- common definitions and macros
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/cdefs.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <sys/cdefs.h> header includes some common definitions and macros typ- ical to the C language conventions of NetBSD. Among these are: · Certain C language properties and definitions that are ver- sioned according to the support in compilers. Examples include the __func__ keyword and the restrict type qualifier from C99. · Macros and definitions specific to compilers, preprocessors, and linkers; see __BIT(3), __BITS(3), __CONCAT(3), __FPTRCAST(3), __SHIFTIN(3), __SHIFTOUT(3), __SHIFTOUT_MASK(3), __UNCONST(3), __UNVOLATILE(3), __USE(3), __insn_barrier(3), and attribute(3). · Utility macros provided for convenience; see __arraycount(3) and bits(3). The header also contains the __RCSID() and __KERNEL_RCSID() macros used for version control system (VCS) identifiers. Thus, all NetBSD source code files typically include <sys/cdefs.h>, included as the first thing right after any possible copyright texts; /*- * Copyright (c) 1984 John Doe * All rights reserved. * * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, * with or without modification, are permitted. */ #include <sys/cdefs.h> __RCSID("$NetBSD: cdefs.3,v 1.5 2019/11/10 18:45:09 christos Exp $"); It is possible to identify the RCS keyword strings by using ident(1).
