extern FILE *dar; // global file pointer void dar(void) { // modify dar with fopen(), etc. } void otherdar(void) { // read dar here } otherdar(void) should be able to access *dar, right?

Yes, *dar is defined outside the scope of both dar and otherdar; it is global to both of them.

You will run into problems with the FILE dar and the function dar, however.
