I'm getting a really funny error off the compiler relating to that prototype:

getNAME.c:68: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before
'void'

I tried dropping the __dead bit leaving the line as:

void usage(void);

I still get the same error though.

Mark.

Right. That is just as messy as __dead. I think I will just delete the tag.

Google Code Search works even better.

Error messages like that are often the result of forgotten semicolons
after function or structure declarations etc. before the line the com-
piler is complaining about. E.g.

void a( char * p )
void b( int c )
void c( void );

will result in just your error message for the line with the declaration
of c().
