Uhm, color me stupid, but I don't see how "extern" makes any difference here. | 6.2.2 Linkages of identifiers ... | [#5] If the declaration of an identifier for a function has | no storage-class specifier, its linkage is determined | exactly as if it were declared with the storage-class | specifier extern. I suspect the line with extern was just pasted into synopsis from the C header (dunno about Illumos, but at on Solaris the headers do use "extern" for iconv declaration). Solaris header declares iconv with const for xpg5 and w/out for xpg6. -uwe
