man 9 style

     In header files visible to userland applications, prototypes that are
     visible must use either ``protected'' names (ones beginning with an
     underscore) or no names with the types.  It is preferable to use pro-
     tected names.  E.g., use:

     void    function(int);

     or:

     void    function(int _fd);
