A term used in C++ and now part of ANSI C. Can be used in several 
places:  (1) placed before function symbol (declaration or 
definition), can indicate function does not return a value; (2) used 
as the sole parameter in the prototype of function declaration or 
definition, indicates the function has no arguments/parameters.  You 
can also have void pointers (void *), which you might use to cast a 
pointer to a defined type to one where the type you may not want to 
be known or perhaps where the type is not important.  Post this 
question to the comp.lang.c or comp.lang.c++ newsgroup for an 
exhaustive list of replies.

Are you perhaps wondering whether DOS can change its root filesystem 
much like the one Unix has for resetting mount points?
