Static Function

[jeeradate . kaowkanchana . jk]

I found most of Palm function are "Static" .
I learn how "Static" mean to the local variable but what is the "Static" mean
to the function ?
Can I skip "Static" in function definition ?

 static void GetUserName()
 {
   Char semicolon[2];
  Char* Uname;

Best regards,
Jeeradate K.
