This listing places declarations outside any function or block, providing a concrete view of file-scope identifiers. section 2.2
In C, an identifier has file scope when its declaration appears outside every function and block. Its visibility begins at that declaration and continues to the end of the source file. Identifiers with file scope are often called globals. section 2.2
TAKEAWAY
- File scope is not limited by a pair of braces. section 2.2
- Block scope instead limits visibility to the associated block, such as the block belonging to a for construct. section 2.2
