Re: Headers ????

Is it customary or typical to declare all function prototypes in one

I've seen it either way. And a third way in between, where there are
multiple headers, each corresponding to some logical unit of the library
(e.g. a source file), plus a master header that simply #includes all of
them. The client then just has to include the master header to get
access to the whole library. See e.g. windows.h

I mean, right now, for every .c file, I have a .h file where I define
the functions that exist in the .c file . I find this redundant of
having so many .h files. Can't I just have one .h file and define all
the .c functions in there?

Yes you can.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
