cdecl

If you ever have trouble remembering how to declare things in C (like those pesky function pointers), try out cdecl:

brew install cdecl
apt install cdecl

Simply specify in English what you want to declare, and cdecl will show you the way:

declare memcpy as volatile pointer to function(int)  returning void
void (* volatile memcpy)(int )
