You request the use of a -header file in your project source file (C, C++, etc) located in `src` folder -by including it, with the C preprocessing directive `#include'. - -```src/main.c - -#include "header.h" - -int main (void) -{ - ... -} -``` - -Including a header file produces the same results as copying the header file -into each source file that needs it. Such copying would be time-consuming -and error-prone. With a header file, the related declarations appear -in only one place. If they need to be changed, they can be changed in one -place, and programs that include the header file will automatically use the -new version when next recompiled. The header file eliminates the labor of -finding and changing all the copies as well as the risk that a failure to -find one copy will result in inconsistencies within a program. - -In C, the usual convention is to give header files names that end with `.h'. -It is most portable to use only letters, digits, dashes, and underscores in -header file names, and at most one dot. - -Read more about using header files in official GCC documentation: - -* Include Syntax -* Include Operation -* Once-Only Headers -* Computed Includes - -https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Header-Files.html
