whats the code for the prototype files

I couldn’t confirm a single “code” from the search results, because “prototype files” could mean different things. One result points to a function prototype in C, which is written as a declaration like return_type function_name(parameters);, and another points to a .prototype file used by a specific app/framework, where the content depends on that tool’s format.

Most likely meanings

  • C / C++ function prototype: a declaration that tells the compiler a function’s name, return type, and parameters before the function body appears.
  • .prototype project file: a file used by certain prototype-building tools, where the structure is tool-specific rather than one universal code snippet.
  • Prototype file in packaging/docs: some documentation uses “prototype file” for a package definition file, which is a text file created one entry at a time.

Example

For C, a prototype looks like this:

c

int add(int a, int b);

That is a declaration, not the full implementation, and it can be placed in a header file when sharing functions across source files.

What I need

The exact “code” depends on which prototype files you mean: C headers, packaging prototype files, or a .prototype file from a design/prototyping app. If you tell me the app, language, or file extension, I can give the exact format.
