sed can do the substitution

If you have the code in
Code:
/tmp/test.c

, try

Code:
sed -e "s/()/(void)/" /tmp/test.c

to see/preview it and

Code:
sed -i.bak -e "s/()/(void)/" /tmp/test.c

for an in-place substitution within the file. If anything goes wrong,
Code:
/tmp/test.c.bak

should have the original that you started with.
