CPU & Memory Calling c program from another c program
Hi All,

Probably this is a repeated question. My knowledge in this is limited and i got confused on all those materials i got in google search.
We use #include <> to include a predefined library like stdio.h
i saw somewhere that #include "" includes a man made module(another C program). IS this possible?

Let me make this simple
I have two files, say parent.c and child.c
child.c contains function definitions which is called from parent.c

My code:
parent.c
Code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
        int ret_option;
        ret_option = menu();
        return 0;
}

child.c

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int menu();
int menu()
{

        int option;
        printf("\tWelcome to Address Search Engine\n");
        printf("-----------------------------------------\n");
        printf("1. Add\n2. Edit\n3. Delete\n4. Search\n0 for exit\n");
        printf("Enter your Selection : ");
        scanf("%d",&option);
        return (option);
}

What i need to do here is just display the menu on the screen.

Now how do I call this or include or link the two files ?


Thanks in advance
JS

GOOGLE-SITEMAPGEN(1)					      General Commands Manual					      GOOGLE-SITEMAPGEN(1)

NAME

       google-sitemapgen -- simple script to automate production of sitemaps for a webserver

SYNOPSIS

       google-sitemapgen [--testing]  [--help]	[--config=config.xml]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the google-sitemapgen command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       google-sitemapgen  is  a  program that automatically produces sitemaps for a webserver, in the Google Sitemap Protocol (GSP). Sitemap files
       are XML listings of content you make available on your web server. The files can be directly submitted to search engines as hints  for  the
       search  engine  web  crawlers as they index your web site. This can result in better coverage of your web content in search engine indices,
       and less of your bandwidth spent doing it.

OPTIONS

       --config=config.xml
		 Specify the location of the configuration config.xml

       --testing Used to test the sitemap generator configuration.

       --help	 Display a summary of options and exit.
