You are using header (.h) files. You put the prototypes in the header files and then other source (.c) files can use them without have to use "extern int foo(int *bar);". Also you usually put your caller documentation in comments above the prototype in the header file. If you do c/c++ programming you'll appreciate prototypes the first time you have to debug a file that brings in all it's outside functions using extern. If things are named with even an ounce of common sense it's a lot easier to track down a function definition via the header files than figuring out exactly where that "extern" is pulling the function in from. Also it allows you to place the interface to you module in a different file than the implementation.
