    [how to grep for declarations...]

how about

	% alias defof 'awk "/^\!:1\(/,/\)/ {print}" *.c'
	% defof lpc_synth
	lpc_synth(struct utterance *utterance,
	          struct diphone_set *diphones,     /* must be `open' */
	          struct residual *residual)


(or variations thereof for your indentation style).

extension to print file name, line number and the type of the function
(which is on the line before) are left as an exorcise to the interested
reader. (I don't bother since if want to know where it is I build a
TAGS table and I rarely forget the return type, just the arguments).
