That does not answer the first question about which function is declared
twice. But it was not kind to ask. I should simply have corrected what
you said and left it at that.

No, the code contains contains two function declarations, two char
pointer declarations, an int declaration and a function pointer
declaration. There are only two functions in total, and two function
declarations in total. No function is declared twice.
