- function is not used outside of this source file.  it seems somebody has previously silenced the "no previous prototype" warning by adding an in-line prototype instead of either (a) adding a prototype to a header file or (b) declaring the function static.  since the function is not used anywhere else it should've been the latter instead of the former.
