Qualified Names mean you don't break the C Library

[mark at elsie.UUCP]

<>
One way to avoid collision between your own subroutine names and those that
may be used by the C libraries is to declare all routines that are used only
in a single source file to be static. Thus if I want to write my own malloc,
I write:
	static malloc(size)
	unsigned	size;
	{
	...
	}
This will (should) not interfere with any malloc's used by the library. Of
course if I want to this malloc from other files of a multi-file source, I
can't use static so I'd better change the name.
