export is for template functions.

For normal functions you provide the definition in a file, e.g.

void something(void)
{
// ...
}


and in the other files that you want to use that function you declare it
before its use (typically at the beginning of the file):

void something(void);


or extern void something(void);


which are both equivallent.
