Multiple definition

[Anon]

I am currently compiling all my *.h files in a make file but when I get to my function readstr.h the screen produces an error
Multiple Defintion of 'rtomSocket'

Does anyone know how to fix this?

My code:
void rtomSocket(int Usocket, char it)
{
do{
int number;
int i;
number=10;
read(Usocket,it,number);
}while(it++!='\n');

*it='\n';

}

This isn't a C forum...but what the heck, since I know C too:

you're defining a function in your .h file which is generally not a good idea (as you've found out). You should move the function out of the .h file and into a .c or .cpp file. If you REALLY, REALLY ,REALLY need to have it in a .h file, you can define it as a preprocessor macro instead of a function -- not advisable, but it'll work.

.h files are Header files. They typically contain declarations, constants, and other interface items.

.c, .cpp files are C source files which typically contain the actual code.
