How to create customized header file in C n use it in program?

Question

i want create a header file in C-programming and add it to library to use. Please could you help me.

Answer 1

Create a file with the extension .h, for example mystuff.h. Put the desired header contents in there, and include it in your sources via #include "mystuff.h".

Answer 2

Some header:

//header.h
#ifndef HEADER_H
#define HEADER_H

int ThisReturnsOne() {
    return 1;
}

#endif //HEADER_H

Some c file:

//file.c
#include "header.h"

int main() {
    int x;
    x = ThisReturnsOne(); //x == 1
}

So the contents of "header.h" are available to "file.c". This assumes they are in the same directory.

Edit: Added include guards. This prevents the header file from being included in the same translation unit twice.
