1 /* Function declarations for libiberty.
2 Written by Cygnus Support, 1994.
4 The libiberty library provides a number of functions which are
5 missing on some operating systems. We do not declare those here,
6 to avoid conflicts with the system header files on operating
7 systems that do support those functions. In this file we only
8 declare those functions which are specific to libiberty. */
